About

My Master in Philosophy research aims to explore the interrelationships of waist-to-height ratio, body mass index, body fatness and fitness of primary school children in the Waikato, NZ.  Particular interest is the utility of the waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) as a measure of body fatness and fitness.

In my spare time I research!! In all the other time look after my children and volunteer for the Heart Foundation.  I also advise clients (when I really have spare time). 

My study experiences have lead to gaining, BSc (Biology), PGDipSp&ExSc (Nutrition), DipNat&CompMed & CertNT (Naturopath).

Main mission in life is; to improve the wellness of people from individual to (inter)national levels, using holistic, evidence based, nutrition & lifestyle knowledge & experience.
