“Nina has helped me nurture a healthier relationship with food and helped ensure that I see my wellbeing as a priority. I initially came to Nina for help with my relationship with food but have ended up getting so much more help with my general wellbeing. Since seeing Nina, I have created a better relationship with food and have created a healthier and happier mental space for myself. ”
“I am very happy to recommend Nina Kingsford-Smith. With Nina’s professional care and expertise, combined with her gentle listening skills, I feel much more confident generally about forming good healthy nutritional habits , and specifically dealing with my gut issues and also raised blood sugars. I am so pleased that I see Nina regularly as part of an overall healthy plan.”
Are you confused or overwhelmed by all of the conflicting nutrition advice out there? Do you experience fear, anxiety or guilt around food? Do you restrict yourself around food, eat in secret binge eat? Do you feel stressed or anxious?
Or perhaps there’s another health concern that’s been bothering you for a while, or something just doesn’t feel quite right. Whatever is going on in your life, I'd love to help you reclaim your health.
With a special interest in disordered eating and supporting your relationship with food, together we can:
Address disordered eating patterns and habits – it’s important to work with disordered eating soon, before these habits become diagnosable eating disorders. But no matter what stage you’re at (‘disordered eating’ or ‘eating disorder’), I’m here to help. These may include overeating, binge eating, restricting food, compensatory behaviours such as purging or excessive exercise, body image concerns, repetitive dieting, a fixation with counting calories or weighing food, and orthorexia (an obsession with only eating ‘healthy’ food).
Address anxiety, stress and any other co-existing health concerns - my experience has shown me that struggles around food and body are often tied up with anxiety and stress, as well as other concerns like digestive and hormonal health, and these are other passion areas of mine.
Navigate the confusing world of nutrition and ‘healthy eating’, and tune into yourself – we’ll shut out the external noise, dismantle rules around food and let go of diet mentality. Instead, we’ll build your confidence and trust in tuning in to yourself and making your own decisions around food. Here, we’ll often incorporate intuitive eating philosophies and practices.
Look beyond what you eat – and also consider your thoughts, feelings and behaviours around food. Here, we’ll often incorporate mindful eating philosophies and practices.
Take a holistic and individualised approach – by going beyond nutrition to incorporate various lifestyle aspects to help you create realistic, enjoyable and long lasting changes – physically, mentally and emotionally. I’ll also take into account your unique goals, challenges, likes and dislikes, history and circumstances.
What I won’t do is give you a diet or meal plan to follow, count calories, weigh you or use other rigid rules. Instead, we’ll turn our focus to helping you trust yourself and improve your relationship with food, your body and yourself.
“Every time I sat down with Nina, I was heard. Nina listens to you attentively, and because of that her approach is very personal. I now have an intuitive and intelligent way of thinking about food and nutrition, and am much more comfortable with my eating habits and self-image. Her recipes are delicious and she is extremely knowledgable. She is a joy to work with!”
“Nina has been my nutritionist for 2 years now and she has helped me so much with my daily food and vitamins intake.
...Nina is passionate about what she does and it shows in every single appointment I have with her. She is very thorough, especially when it comes to medication and vitamin interactions. Nina checks through my blood results and sometimes liaises with my doctors. Her referrals and advice and everything else is the reason why I would highly recommend Nina to anyone. Thank you Nina 🤗 .”

“I can’t thank Nina enough for the support and guidance she provided after my surgery. Her listening skills were exceptional, as she took the time to really understand my unique needs and preferences. She created a personalized nutrition plan that not only helped me regain balance but also respected my cultural eating habits as a Sri Lankan. I really appreciated her flexibility with my diet and how she tailored her advice to fit into my lifestyle. Additionally, she provided thoughtful treatment plan suggestions and recommended high-quality supplements, which I found really effective. I was impressed by the brands she recommended, and they’ve made a positive impact on my health. I also learned a lot about food and how to make healthier choices moving forward. Her compassionate, professional approach truly made a difference in my recovery. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring nutritionist!”
“Seeing Nina was the best treatment that I had ever received and after 27 years of searching, I am so glad to have found her. By treating me from the inside-out, Nina taught me to love and treat myself well and I feel the positive impacts on my physical and mental wellbeing.”

“Nina listened patiently and openly before suggesting simple, manageable changes that could be made to my diet and self care routine, and offered clever food prep tips to help me nourish my body even when short on time. Very quickly I saw a real improvement in the way my body (and mind!) responded to food.
The significant reduction in symptoms has lead to a huge improvement in my health, happiness and quality of life. Nina’s holistic and well-informed approach to nutrition has truly been transformative for me and I can’t recommend her enough!”
