About Me
Food science meets
real-world
results.
Hi! I’m the founder of NM Nutrition Ltd and an Associate Registered Nutritionist (ANutr) with a background in food science. I’m passionate about cutting through diet culture noise and delivering advice that’s genuinely backed by research.
My journey into nutrition started with a fascination for how food interacts with our bodies — from gut microbiome science to the hormonal impact of what we eat. Today I translate that science into practical, personalised plans that work for real life.
I work with clients across Christchurch and online throughout New Zealand, specialising in gut health, weight management, energy, sports nutrition, and women’s health.

Areas of Expertise
Where I can make a
real difference
Gut Health & Digestive Wellness
IBS · Microbiome · Digestive Disorders
Your gut is your second brain. When it’s not functioning well, it affects energy, mood, immunity and weight. I use an evidence-based, food-first approach to identify triggers, support gut healing, and build a thriving microbiome through targeted dietary strategies.
Microbiome Optimisation
Diversity · Prebiotics · Fermentation
Science-backed strategies to feed and diversify your gut bacteria — increasing resilience, improving digestion, and supporting immunity through dietary variety and fibre-focused meal planning.
Food Intolerance & Elimination
Triggers · Reintroduction · Clarity
Structured elimination protocols to identify food sensitivities — then systematic reintroduction so you understand your body without unnecessary long-term restriction.

What Your Gut Is Telling You
Your gut is one of the most intelligent systems in your body — and most people are completely ignoring what it’s trying to say. Bloating, fatigue, brain fog, mood swings — these are not random.

Nutrition &
Mental Wellness
are inseparable
The food you eat doesn’t just affect your body — it profoundly shapes your mood, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and overall sense of wellbeing. This is one of the most underappreciated aspects of nutrition.
I take a whole-person approach that acknowledges the deep connection between gut health, brain chemistry, and mental wellness — helping you nourish your mind as much as your body.
