    Book with Kristal

  • I am a NZ Registered Dietitian with over 16 years experience working in a range of settings from the hospital to the community and private rehab space. More recently I have enjoyed teaching beekeeping and sustainable cooking at my kid's school in Christchurch.

    Over the years my focus and approach has grown to a more holistic one and while food and nutrition continues to be my passion, I now look at stress, sleep, movement, and breath work in a little more depth.

    Through personal life experiences, extensive study, and a broad range of work, I have managed my own IBS and hormonal imbalances with nutrition and lifestyle modification. I love to spend time with my kids in nature, practise yoga, and am a passionate and committed lifetime learner to anything food, nutrition, health, and wellness related.
