Hi, I'm Elly — a Tauranga-based nutritionist (NSNZ Associate Registered).
Inspired by my family’s journey with coeliac disease and food sensitivities, I'm on a mission to help people of all ages navigate life with these conditions. I understand that obtaining trustworthy, practical information in this space can sometimes be difficult. I'd like to change that.
I'm also passionate about healthy eating. I enjoy helping people make simple dietary-tweaks to improve both mental and physical health.
If you spend hours searching the internet for information, are confused about what your next steps should be, or are struggling with what to eat, then get in touch. Whether it’s in person at my Mount Maunganui-based practice or remotely, I can help set you on the right track.
Qualified in both theory and practice.
I offer a unique blend of professional and personal experience.
