Hi! My name is Jo and I am both a New Zealand Registered Dietitian (NZRD) and an Australian Accredited Practicing Dietitian (APD).
I have over a decade of nutrition experience in Aotearoa NZ and Australia and have worked in many areas of Dietetic practice such as cancer care, diabetes and gastroenterology (gut nutrition).
Several years ago I found a passion for working in women’s health nutrition and have chosen to specialise in this area.
