Clinical Nutritionist with a Functional Medicine approach

About Claudia
Hi & welcome to Nutri Viva! I am a Registered Clinical Nutritionist who is passionate about the power of using REAL food for creating vibrant health & long term well-being. Food is our fuel & our medicine, but it takes the right information to implement a successful approach to nourishment in order to achieve sustainable long term changes.
With over 10 years clinical experience with a functional medicine approach, I understand that every body is unique. By combining detailed case history with advanced assessment tools such as QuadScan body composition analysis, comprehensive blood work, and functional testing, I can identify underlying imbalances that may be impacting your energy, digestion, metabolic hormones, and overall wellbeing. Rather than guessing, this data-driven approach allows me to create targeted nutrition and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your biochemistry, goals, and lifestyle. Whether you are seeking support for gut health, metabolic health, hormonal balance, fatigue, or long-term disease prevention, experienced guidance ensures your plan is both safe and effective.
If you suffer from low energy, pain & inflammation, digestive complaints or feel like your health is generally not where it should be at, then lets works together to find the root cause of your symptoms. Find out how the right lab tests, PLUS the right food & supplements can help you reach your OPTIMAL health.
Registered Clinical Nutritionist
As a member of Clinical Nutritionists Aotearoa NZ, I am passionate about providing information to my clients that is not only scientifically evidenced based, but also from the most up to date information, as well as being personalised and practical. On going education is an important aspect of being able to deliver a treatment plan that is patient specific, because it is not a "one size fits all approach". You can be assured that your health goals will be based upon what YOUR needs are & what is best suited to YOU.
Nutrition Association Member
Southern Cross Health Society, Accuro Health Insurance & NIB Health Insurance offer annual benefits on some of their policies which allow you to claim back the visit of a Clinical Nutritionist. As a Registered Clinical Nutritionist & a member of Clinical Nutritionists Aotearoa NZ, this means you are able to claim for Nutritional Consultations up to a certain amount per calendar year. If you have more questions around this just check in with your health insurance provider directly or ask me at your consultation.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine looks at your whole health picture to find what’s causing your main symptoms. Functional tests examine digestion, nutrient levels, inflammation, and genetic factors. Individually or together, these tests can reveal imbalances or stressors that may explain symptoms even when standard lab results look “normal.”
This approach extends conventional medicine by assessing how your body is functioning overall and how that affects current and long-term health. The goal is to improve long-term health and treat underlying causes, not just symptoms.
Functional medicine is evidence-based and uses various tests to study your biochemistry and function. Most testing is done overseas, but in New Zealand practitioners can access these labs through local companies. Interest in functional medicine is growing worldwide, with more people wanting deeper answers.
A suggested plan combines nutrition with lifestyle changes—exercise, stress management, better sleep—alongside conventional and integrative medical care.

Integrative Health
This term is at the core of how I work. If health is to be viewed as holistic then so is the approach to looking after our body. Integrative health is about using more than one modality to look after our body. These include Acupuncture, Massage, Chiropractor or Osteopath or Medical Herbalist as well as Yoga, Pilates or even going to the gym. Your GP is also an integral part of your health journey. I will work closely with any of these practitioners to ensure you are working towards your goal of ultimate health.
What is the QuadScan 4000?
This is the perfect tool to figure out your body composition as well as your cellular health. The QuadScan 4000 is a body composition tool that can measure not only your key body compoisiton areas (muscle, fluid, fat) but also cellular health, nutritional status, & is able to give accurate & immediate body composition information as well as hydration status. This tool is well researched as well as being a non-invasive system that allows us to work together to reach your health goals. Tracking your progression using this tool allows you & I to monitor if your personalised treatment plan is actually working for you.
