What we do
The Nutrition and Dietetic Clinic in Auckland provides sound, practical nutritional advice backed by science and research.
We offer personalised nutritional advice and assessments and nutrition education talks.
We translate the science of nutrition into clear and practical messages, helping you navigate the supermarket aisles and plan meals that are right for your health, your family and your budget.
Services
We offer nutrition care for the following health concerns:
- healthy eating
- high cholesterol and/or heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes
- intuitive eating
- constipation
- weight management.
In some cases where complex or very specialised care is required, we may complete a comprehensive nutrition assessment but need to refer on for appropriate intervention where the condition falls outside of the scope of a student-led clinic.
We are unable to offer nutrition care for:
- clients under 18 years of age
- eating disorders
- allergies and intolerances
- significant unintentional weight loss
- medical issues requiring a hospital referral.
You can find specialty Dietitian providers for this care through:

- eating patterns and behaviours.
You will be emailed a pre-consultation questionnaire to complete prior to your first visit and will be asked to keep a 3-day food and mood diary.
We take into account your current weight, lifestyle and personal goals to create a lifestyle plan that is realistic and achievable. Supporting information such as recipes and hand-outs will be provided.
Review consultations
Follow-up sessions allow for plan modification and help keep you on track. Each session gives us the chance to concentrate on a particular aspect of your diet and lifestyle.

Student clinicians
Student-led consultations by Massey University dietetic students are under the supervision of a New Zealand Registered Dietitian. All students are qualified nutritionists. They have already completed three years of undergraduate study in nutrition, with some also majoring in psychology or sport and exercise.
The students involved at the Nutrition and Dietetic Clinic are first- or second-year students enrolled in the Nutrition and Dietetics two-year master's degree.
Our dietetic students do internships in various organisations, including Health New Zealand hospitals. As a result, they undergo police vetting and are reference-checked and screened under the Vulnerable Children Act 2014.
They also go through strict health screening in line with hospital policies. All the students also comply with professional conduct and confidentiality requirements under the Health Information Privacy Code 1994 and the Privacy Act 1993.
