Kristal Nichol
NZ Registered Dietitian
I can help you with bespoke nutrition advice that focuses on what is important for you and addressing the challenges you may be facing.
Nutrition is just one aspect of whole-body health, but an integral one that plays a huge part in both physical and mental wellness
Available for online appointments
My approach
My approach to nutrition is evidence-based yet holistic, with a strong focus on empathy, support and practicality. The advice I provide is based on a healthy lifestyle that is achievable, sustainable and enjoyable.
I have a love for growing and cooking food, which is foundational in my health related experiences. I’m also passionate about budgeting and reducing food waste, helping people eat well in ways that are realistic and accessible.
I would feel grateful to be part of your journey to take control of your food and nutrition and feel your best.

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.

"Kristal was amazing and not only spoke to me about nutrition but the reason WHY I do certain things. Definitely recommend!"
Bianca"Kristal was very empathetic and gave great psychological education in the consult. She has a holistic view of the body and helped me to understand what changes can be made for an overall healthier lifestyle. She was personable and easy to build a rapport with. She was efficient with sharing notes and recommendations following the call. Thank you very much. Great to have this available through AIA."
Hannah"Kristal was fantastic and easy to talk to. She asked some great questions to understand my goals, lifestyle and areas I need to work on. Loved how she gave me general guidelines that are manageable and it is everyday food I have at home. Also feels like a holistic approach to health too. Very thankful to Kristal. Looking forward to a follow up appointment."
Anna"Kristal was patient and reviewed all my lifestyle aspects and gave straight to the point advice. I was happy with the consultation and will recommend to others. It was easy to book through the AIA app and the consultation price is actually very good, well worth the money."
Azman"My consultation was useful and tailored to my needs. Kristal is very knowledgeable and I was able to take away immediate goals that I can implement. I would recommend Mission Nutrition."
Louise"It was great to be able to talk through my concerns and felt really comfortable sharing this with Kristal. It was a very new experience and I didn't know what to expect, but I was really happy with the outcome of the initial session and the report provided."
Mia"Working with Kristal was exactly what I needed leading up to major abdominal surgery. Her ability to understand my families lifestyle and habits truely allowed her to structure a successful plan for me."
"Kristal was always mindful of my mental health and would often check in to ensure our plan wasn’t impacting mental well being and happiness."
"Working together I managed to loose weight prior to surgery which in hindsight was crucial to my success. Kristal was flexible with scheduling and adapted well under Covid restrictions. I would highly recommend Kristal and her services to others in my situation."
