Hi, I’m Kim, the founder and Practitioner of Feel One’s Zest.

My journey began as a French-trained Cordon Bleu chef, travelling the world and sharing my passion for food. In 2010, my life took an unexpected turn when my Dad passed away from complications related to diabetes. This deeply personal experience inspired me to explore the power of nutrition and lifestyle in promoting real, internal change within the body.

Over the next four years, I completed further training in clinical nutrition and naturopathy, combining science, holistic principles, and my culinary expertise. This unique blend of skills allows me to create personalised approaches that are both practical and enjoyable to help you feel nourished, energised, and balanced.

We work with midlife women who want to restore their vitality, improve their metabolic health, and feel more connected to their bodies.

Our approach is warm, empowering, and personalised. We guide you to understand your metabolism while building sustainable habits, and regaining clarity, energy, and confidence within yourself. You get your Spark for life back, so that you can enjoy your future.

For my clients, vitality means more than just energy. It’s waking with steady energy, clearer thinking, balanced moods, better digestion, and a sense of lightness in the body. 

Sustainable wellbeing for them means creating habits and routines that fit their everyday lives, nourishing their metabolism, and building lasting confidence in their health.

Whether you’re seeking metabolic support, digestive support, hormonal balance, or simply a renewed sense of energy and wellbeing, I walk alongside you every step of the way, helping you reconnect with your body and rediscover your zest for life.

Feel One’s Zest is a naturopathic and nutritional practice supporting clients across New Zealand through online consultations.

Our practice is designed for busy mid-life clients seeking clarity around their symptoms, personalised guidance, and a realistic path toward feeling more energised, balanced, and well.

We offer a personalised, compassionate wellness path for midlife women seeking digestive support, metabolic & hormonal balance, or a clearer roadmap toward everyday wellbeing.

Our practice is grounded in our Z.E.S.T. philosophy:

Z – Zero judgement: A calm, supportive space where you feel heard.

E – Empowerment: Clear education to help you understand your body and the ways forward

S – Sustainable steps: Simple, achievable changes that build confidence to keep moving forward

T – Transformation: Personalised nutrition and lifestyle strategies that support lasting change.

We address the underlying causes of fatigue, digestive discomfort, inflammation, hormonal changes, metabolic imbalance, weight fluctuations, and that sense of feeling “not quite yourself.”

Our Services and tools include:

• A Thorough Naturopathic assessment to understand your whole picture
• Clinical nutrition tailored to your individual needs
• G.E.M.M. (Gut Ecology & Metabolic Modulation) for targeted gut and metabolic support
• Pathology and functional testing for deeper insight
• Personalised food guidance using Metabolic Balance,  informed by nutritional science and culinary training
• Lifestyle and nervous-system support to encourage resilience and clarity

The focus is on achievable routines, whole body nourishment, digestive support, and a metabolic reset , and NOT on quick fixes. Clients describe their experience as warm, clarifying, and deeply supportive, with space to rebuild trust in their body.
