Claire Harper-Wilson

Claire's journey into nutrition started several years ago when researching her own health after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. This led her to the Hippocrates Health Centre of Australia where she went on to receive a diploma in 2005.

With a background in sports nutrition and personal training, Claire initially practised through a local fitness centre before re-establishing Nutrition Therapy in 2008 her mission to provide real world nutritional and lifestyle counselling.

Nutrition Therapy's vision has led us to be the first clinic in New Zealand to offer Metabolic Analysis. Claire combines scientific technology with an empathetic approach to assist you in achieving your health and wellness goals.

"With all my experiences over the last 15 years the two most valuable lessons I have learned about restoring and maintaining health are balance and sustainability. I have found the most effective strategy to be a series of gradual changes that become part of your life with minimal disruption and discomfort. Being patient and gentle with yourself is an important part of the process."

Claire guides and supports your through these changes with ongoing coaching, education and reassurance.
