Hi, I'm Elly — a Tauranga-based nutritionist (NSNZ Associate Registered).
With a degree in food science, a postgraduate diploma in nutrition, and a special interest in coeliac disease and food sensitivities, I’m here to help you with your nutrition—whether it’s navigating a specific health condition or making simple dietary tweaks to optimise your mental and physical well-being.
I believe in offering friendly, practical advice tailored to you—no fads, no diets, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just evidence-based support that works for you long term.
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.
