Anna Richards
New Zealand Registered &  Advanced Practising Dietitian

Allergy, digestive and child nutrition expert

Hi, I’m Anna

I believe food should be enjoyed not feared!

If you’re like my clients, you want to spend time enjoying life. 

But instead you’re worrying about food reactions or focusing on finding nutrition information to help you feel better. 

Getting the answers you need and personalised nutrition advice to get you on the right path means you can:

  • Get out and share a meal with friends and family without worrying about food reactions.
  • Confidently prepare food at home knowing you’re doing the best for your health
  • Be able to fully enjoy the activities and hobbies you love
  • Know you’re being heard.

“I’m on a mission to help people enjoy food again. Over the past twenty five years in my private practice, I’ve seen the difference that having an accurate diagnosis and sound evidence-based nutrition solutions makes.”

~ Anna Richards, New Zealand Registered Dietitian

Life’s better when you’re not worrying about the effect your food’s having on your health

Maybe you’ve tried searching Google for answers but ended up even more frustrated and confused. 

In my experience, the best way to get on top of your food allergies, digestive problems, or child nutrition questions is to talk to a trusted expert and get personalised advice. 

I understand how easy it is to feel overwhelmed when your health is complex. 

Since opening my private practice over 25 years ago, I’ve helped thousands of women, men and children get clear nutrition advice to help their food allergies and intolerances, digestive issues, and general health concerns. 

And I’ve built up my knowledge and practice to become one of New Zealand’s favourite allergy, digestive and children's health dietitians.

"One of the things I find most rewarding is when people I helped as children come back as adults and now bring their kids because they know where to get help that works."

Wondering where my client testimonials are?

You’re right. Having worked with hundreds of clients, you’d expect to see some reviews of how I’ve helped transform their lives. 

As a New Zealand Registered Dietitian, I’m restricted by law and unable to share client testimonials. I have an annual registration certificate issued by the Dietitians Board, which requires me to show evidence of practice and learning.
