Weight Management
It is amazing how a few small changes can make a huge difference to your levels of body fat and your health and wellbeing. Losing weight and keeping it off doesn't (and shouldn't) have to involve radical diets.
With 6 in 10 New Zealanders being classified as overweight or obese, now is the time to take action. We know that being overweight or obese significantly increases our risk of many life threatening diseases, as well as decreasing our quality of life. But the news is good… we can make a change right now by improving your dietary and lifestyle habits.
We believe in making small, sustainable changes that improve your diet, energy levels and health - you wont find fad diets or gimmicks here. We do not advocate diets - we believe in teaching you to make sensible choices and being able to enjoy what you eat. Even small changes can make a big difference. We believe that eating real food sensibly is the key to effective, and sustainable weight loss. If you are sick of trying every diet, supplement or counting plan out there and want to make a start at losing weight in a healthy way we can help.
How can we help you?
Individual Consultations
Individual consultations can make sure that you achieve your weight based goals. At your first consultation we will discuss your goals and look at your previous dietary and exercise habits, your health history and your current lifestyle. From here we will make an action plan and give you the information, resources and motivation to make the sustainable changes that you need. After meeting for an initial consultation, we will make sure that you have the support, motivation, and resources to make sustainable, realistic changes with exceptional follow up. If you based in the Wellington, Wairarapa, Taranaki or Manawatu regions we can see you in person, but if you live out of these regions don’t worry as we can still help you through online consulting or through the Weigh Right programme.

It can be a bit daunting deciding on which nutritionist you want to pass your hard-earned money on to ... but I had no problems handing money to Sarah in return for her tremendous amount of knowledge and enthusiasm. I have seen a number of different nutritionists over the last 10 years or so and my partner was a little concerned when I mentioned I wanted to see someone again... he worried I could be wasting our money to be "told stuff I already knew". As it turned out, this wasn't the case, Sarah was a breath of fresh air with plenty of suggestions and alternatives to my current way of eating. Her vibrancy and enthusiasm came through in her work, which meant I always looked forward to our next session and reporting back to her with both the good news... and the struggles. I never felt I had to hide anything from Sarah as she wasn't going to "tell me off" ... but instead, listen and advise suggestions for "if this happens again...".
Overall I felt Sarah "got me" ... my personal situation and the obstacles I faced. Everyone is so different; and her willingness to listen to MY story was so important to me, and for her to come up with suggestions relevant to MY situation ... not just a 'standard' blurb given to all clients. I really felt Sarah put a lot of thought and effort into my own specific requirements. I look forward to working with Sarah again in the future, and have no hesitation in recommending her to you!
