Lifespark Nutrition Registered Nutritionist

I had a health and goal assessment with Kate. I was using coffee to get through tiredness/dips in energy during the day, and having sugar cravings in the afternoon and evening.I came away with some great ideas on how to increase my energy levels throughout the day, through some small changes, and felt motivated to change.I've implemented most of the changes she suggested and have felt more energetic and healthier.

Kate was recommended by a friend and I'm really pleased I've seen her.She listened to me and my food plan reflects that. I didn't want to be making separate meals for me and my family and she incorporated into my plan. She has also recommended some other easy readily available nutritional options to try.Tweaks along the way have been great to accommodate injury and a health issue so I feel in safe hands.I've never engaged with a nutritionist before so this new experience was a bit daunting but Kate makes the process easy.

Kate has helped me to achieve my goals in such a short timeframe, she's amazing! I significantly reduced my snacking, have been less tired, getting more restful sleeps, and have dropped weight. Even my smallest habits that I wasn't aware were affecting me, she's pointed out and helped adjust.I have endometriosis, so Kate guided me through foods and activities that would trigger my symptoms, and how to avoid these and better manage my pain. She is extremely personable and goes on your journey with you. Couldn't recommend her more!

Cannot recommend highly enough! The shred it program has enabled me to lose weight even while recovering from injuries and being peri-menopausal.The recipes are tasty, satisfying, quick and easy and despite being what I would call ‘a heavy bread head’ … i have cut carbs right down quite painlessly.I have cooked the recipes for my large family and they have been easy to adapt to different dietary needs and tastes. A big thumbs up from everyone.We are eating healthier and I have enjoyed having the weeks menus and shopping lists at my fingertips saving time and money.For me this has not been a fad diet, but a lifestyle tweak which has made me happier, healthier and able to fit into my favourite jeans again.

Kate has help me to achieve my weight loss goals over the last year, and that has been with me not being perfect at times. She is very knowledgeable and versatile with her plans and is always wonderful to deal with.

Kate is an excellent nutritionist — so knowledgeable and with an energetic, positive outlook that gets everyone in the family excited about healthy eating! Kate designed a meal plan for my husband which helped him drop 15kgs in 10 weeks. Life changing! Her meal planning is practical and realistic too, she made sure it worked for our kids and our budget. I'd definitely recommend Kate to anyone wanting to learn how to eat better.

Kate was good to work with. Very professional. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I obtained results both physically and internally by following the advise given. I choose to make slow changes to my diet one meal at a time over a period of weeks rather do a complete U turn and try and change them all at once. At times it was hard mentally but once you see results it eases any pain a bit. Funnily enough the food that I used to eat doesn't taste as good once you make healthier choices. Although I still cannot say no to chocolate. The sweet tooth is there to stay.

I found Kate great to work with. She was always so encouraging and motivating without being judgy.The recipes she provides were real eye openers and ones I'll continue to use as always so easy but yummy too.I would recommend her services to anyone :-)

Kate was so easy to chat to and answered all my questions so simply and clearly. Gave me lots of great suggestions for meals. Helped me figure out a better eating pattern as a shift worker especially with regards to day vs night shifts. It was such an enjoyable session. Highly recommend. Thanks so much Kate! :)

In 2015 I returned to New Zealand from my travels because I was very unwell with Coeliac Disease, gastritis, and hypothyroidism. Since then, I’ve been in Kate’s care on and off. Her ability to listen and thoroughly understand the issues I’ve been dealing with has been so helpful - even on an emotional level of knowing someone understands and cares.I’m often impressed by her generosity with time, and her willingness to figure out the most effective but economical way forward.With the latest round of Metagenics and massive changes in my diet and lifestyle, I’m gradually but steadily improving. I’ve gone from experiencing pain on a daily basis (when I was first diagnosed), to passing whole weeks now with minimal discomfort.Any recovery process of this nature is long and there usually aren’t any quick fixes - but I would strongly recommend LifeSpark Nutrition to anyone looking for a holistic, logical, and cost-effective approach to change and healing.
