I have been practicing as a dietitian since 2012 and have served many populations in various settings. This includes providing nutrition services in State general hospitals, University Medical Centre, private clinics, and corporate wellness programs. My current areas of practice include nutrition care in bariatric care and obesity management, oncology nutrition, perioperative nutrition (focusing on open abdominal surgery) and lifestyle medicine. I graduated with BSc. (Hons) Nutrition & Dietetics, IMU in 2012. With a growing interest in obesity medicine, I am a Certified Bariatric Educator (conferred by Obesity Canada) and a Board-Certified Bariatric Counselor (conferred by American Association of Bariatric Counsellors). I am also the fellow of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine. I support people to live better through good nutrition and positive lifestyle change. I aim to make nutrition solutions practical and relevant. I always speak nutrition with good humour because healthy eating is simply fun!

Anna is one of NZ's most broadly experienced and highly trained practitioners in the field of complementary medicine. She is one of only a small number of practitioners worldwide who have undertaken multiple full professional courses of training (in Anna's case: acupuncture, nutritional medicine, chiropractic, heart-centred counselling, lifestyle medicine certification) which she is then able to integrate within her practice to the benefit of patients. This, coupled with over 30 years of experience as a practitioner (and enhanced by her experience as mother of two!) allow her to offer a calm, centred, empathic approach to treatment that looks at the root cause(s) of ill health, honouring the individuality and unique needs of each patient.

What is a Plant Based Alternatives Practitioner
FAQs
How can I start incorporating more plant-based alternatives into my diet?
Begin by gradually replacing animal products with plant-based alternatives such as tofu, tempeh, legumes, nuts, seeds, and plant-based milk. Focus on whole foods and try new recipes to make the transition enjoyable. A nutrition specialist can provide personalised guidance and meal plans to help you make the shift smoothly and sustainably.
Are plant-based alternatives suitable for everyone, including those with specific dietary needs?
Plant-based alternatives can be suitable for most people, including those with specific dietary needs such as gluten intolerance, allergies, or diabetes. However, it’s important to ensure that your diet is well-balanced and meets all your nutritional requirements. Consulting with a specialist can help customise a plant-based approach that fits your individual health needs.
What are the health benefits of switching to plant-based alternatives?
Plant-based alternatives can offer numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, lower risk of chronic diseases, better weight management, and increased intake of essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. A specialist can help tailor a plant-based diet to maximize these benefits while meeting your nutritional needs.
