Shona Collins

Shona is a New Zealand registered Dietitian with over 30 years’ experience working as a clinical dietitian in South Africa, UK and now NZ. In this time her work has been divided fairly evenly between clinical work in a hospital and as a private practicing dietitian.

Her special interests are eating disorders and disordered eating, diabetes, woman's health, irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive issues, as well as working with individuals to help them make peace with food.

Shona's mission is to cut out the nonsense that surrounds food and diet and to help her patients interpret the minefield of modern misinformation to allow them to enjoy the food they love. She follows a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach and aim to gently help patients make long lasting behaviour changes which will lead them towards their desired health goals.

As a mother of two active teenagers she understands the challenges that mealtimes bring. She utilizes a practical hands-on approach to meal planning taking your family's unique needs into account.
