Dietician and Nutritionist – What is the difference?
Dieticians
Dietitians are registered health practitioners who evaluate scientific evidence about food and nutrition, and translate it into practical strategies
They have an undergraduate science degree in human nutrition and a post-graduate qualification in dietetics.
To practice in New Zealand, a dietitian must, by law, be registered with the Dietitians Board and hold a current practicing certificate.
Nutritionist
Nutritionists have a broader, more general meaning than a “dietitian” does. The term nutritionist is not a protected term, there is no specific qualification that regulates the profession so anyone could be called a nutritionist.
Nutritionists have a broad range of qualifications ranging from no formal training to someone with a PHD

For most patients, 2-3 consultations are recommended.
Step 1: Initial consultation: Charged at $150 for 75 minutes
The questionnaire I will send is a health assessment with a 3-day diet history. Please fill this in BEFORE the consultation to ensure an efficient session.
I will do a thorough health assessment to examine where you are in regards to

- Diet History
- Medical History
- Lastly, I will do a bit of dietary education.
Step 2: Follow-up Consultation:
The first follow-up is for 30 minutes. The second follow up is $80 for 30 minutes.
We will give you a meal plan and supplement regime. We will also discuss any
challenges you will face and strategies to make the plan sustainable.
