Welcome to Active Nourishment - Coaching for Your Lifestyle

Sport Nutrition Coaching and Programmes

Sport Nutrition Programming
Learn how to effectively fuel for your sport.
Whether you’re chasing international competition, trying to move better to keep up with your kids, or aiming to enhance your performance and body composition in the gym, we can help.
Using the latest evidence-based practices and your personal data, we design nutrition and training plans that suit your goals, needs, and budget. We’ll teach you how to fuel smarter, recover better, and unlock your full potential—on and off the field.

Weight Management

Alana believes in eating in a way where you can enjoy your food and also reap the health benefits. Alana can educate you on ways to incorporate healthy eating and exercise into your lifestyle and create an individualised plan to achieve your goals.

Sleep, Stress and Recovery Behaviour Change Coaching

 Our Active Nourishment approach helps you build habits that improve energy, mental focus, mood, and physical recovery.

What you’ll focus on and learn:

- Better Sleep: Learn how to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling refreshed — naturally. 

- Stress Resilience: Discover practical tools to manage daily stress, calm your mind, and avoid burnout, even in the busiest seasons of life. 

- Recovery That Works: Understand how to truly rest and recharge — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too. 

- Sustainable Habits: Instead of quick fixes, you’ll develop small, science-based routines that fit your lifestyle and stick long term. 


Corporate Health Nutrition and Wellness Packages

We are able to devise a plan that works with you and your lifestyle, along with what you prioritise the most in life. We are able to keep it simple and easy to follow so that it doesn’t feel like a chore to start, and is easily managed day to day and week to week.

Our nutritionist has worked locally here in NZ and also internationally in the Middle East, South East Asia and Australia. If you are striving to meet a small or big nutrition goal, don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Testimonials

Mirelle reached out for nutrition coaching after a summer break, as a teacher she loves to learn and took all the education and putting knowledge into practice to develop healthy eating habits, learn new recipes, and prepare her kai in the kitchen before the start of a busy week. She was able to stay sustainable with her weight loss, dropping 8 kilograms over 6 months and really changing her life with healthy habits for the years to come.
