NICOLA GILLIES

My mission is to offer you tools to live a healthy, vibrant life empowered by your food choices. I do this through connecting people to their love of their food and bodies, and providing authentic, honest advice which cuts through all the nutrition ‘noise’ all around us. I believe that health and wellbeing looks different for each individual, and I will work with you to help you feel your best, not only physically but also your mental wellbeing. My personalised nutrition plans are designed to inspire and create ease in healthy, balanced eating.

BSc Human Nutrition, Masters in Dietetics, PhD (Health Sciences)

I am a Registered Dietitian specialising in all things gut health. I love this area of work as we naturally move towards a holistic approach to wellbeing – whatever that looks like for each individual. This also allows me to bring in my love for yoga, as broader aspects of our lifestyle like stress play such an important role in our health and food choices. Outside of my work in this space, I work at the University of Auckland as a research fellow with a special interest in how diet affects our mood and cognition.

I really do love everything about food, and this is how I spend most of my free time – from visiting farmers markets to spending time in the garden, looking through recipe books, and being in the kitchen creating recipes to share with friends. I grew up in Tauranga, and so naturally love being near the ocean or in nature!
