Kia ora everyone.
I’m Qaswara Affaf, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping you find balance through evidence-based nutrition here in Wellington.

“I'd been told to 'just avoid trigger foods' for years without anyone explaining which ones. Qaswara walked me through the full FODMAP process, including the reintroduction part nobody had ever mentioned. I eat far more variety now than when I started.”

“No lectures, no handing me a meal plan and sending me off. We looked at what I actually eat and changed a few things at a time. My HbA1c came down and I didn't have to give up the food I like.”

“I was overwhelmed by conflicting pregnancy advice online. Qaswara sorted out what actually mattered and what I could stop worrying about, and got my iron sorted properly. The video appointments made it easy to fit in.”

“Dinner had become a nightly standoff with our five-year-old. The changes were mostly about how we ran mealtimes rather than the food itself. It took a few weeks, but the tension is gone.”

“First dietitian who didn't start with the scales. We focused on protein, fibre and actually eating lunch. My bloods improved before my weight did, which was the point.”

“Practical, specific and grounded in what's actually on the shelves here. The cross-contamination advice for our kitchen made a real difference at home.”
