About Nicole

Nutritionist | Recipe Writer | Foodie 

I’m originally from Palmerston North, New Zealand - but currently living in The Netherlands with my partner. Obsessed with: romance books, self development, and sunshine. 

I’ve always loved food and been interested in health, but I can’t say I’ve always had a harmonious relationship with food. Like many women of my generation, I grew up receiving messages that in order to be healthy, I had to lose weight. To be completely honest, part of my motivation to study nutrition was that I thought it would teach me how to achieve this. 

Ironically, my nutrition degree ended up being exactly what I needed (for a different reason). Learning about how the body worked and how nutrition could support this, gave me a deep respect and appreciation for my body. I began to realise how I could use food to nourish my body - not punish or restrict it. Slowly but surely, my relationship with food improved, I quit diets for good and let go of the obsession around calories, food and my body. It was truly liberating. 

Over the past few years, I’ve been so fortunate to support more than a thousand clients to form a healthier relationship with food, mostly those who have gone through bariatric surgery. I am passionate about teaching my clients that we don’t need to take an ‘all or nothing’ approach to food. We can simultaneously work towards improving our health, without having to be ‘perfect’ and sacrifice enjoying the foods we love. 

If you… 

  • Want to ditch diets and embrace a balanced approach to food but don’t know where to start 

  • Feel overwhelmed by the amount of conflicting health and wellness information online and want to feel empowered with clarity around your food choices 

  • Currently experience insulin resistance, PCOS, perimenopause, or type 2 diabetes, and want to eat in a way that supports your body without being restrictive 

  • Don’t have the time to spend hours in the kitchen but still want to prepare nutritious (and delicious) meals for yourself or your family 

You’re in the right place and I’d love to help you!

I can support you with: 

My mission is to empower you to take a balanced approach, grounded in evidence-based nutrition, whilst fostering a positive and sustainable relationship with food. It brings me so much joy to support people in breaking free from the strings of diet culture and feeling truly empowered around food. It’s liberating, and it has a ripple effect into many other areas of life. 

With love,
Nicole
