Christine Everest
BSc (Human Nutrition), PGDipDiet, BPhEd – University of Otago. New Zealand Registered Dietitian.
Life is my biggest teacher, but I am also a NZ Registered Dietitian. I work with GPs, practice nurses, specialists and other health professionals. I strongly believe in working as a multi-disciplinary team. Together, we can then provide the best possible patient-centred care. I have over 12 years’ experience working as a registered dietitian in the community, district health boards and in private practice.
My clinical experience working with a vast number of conditions has also given me insight into working with people from different backgrounds, lifestyles and health challenges. This privilege of people opening their doors and sharing their stories with me helps me better understand my clients and for them to know that they are not alone. I translate complex clinical and dietetic knowledge into easy to understand language and help my clients gain clarity in their health journey.
