NUVI was founded by two medical doctors who are passionate about empowering and supporting people who are facing challenges with stubborn weight, obesity or lifestyle-related conditions such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
The founders are Dr Amanda and Dr Paul who bring their expertise to the programme as Medical Doctors with a specialist interest in Lifestyle Medicine.
They come equipped with the knowledge and real-world clinical and coaching experience from both the UK and New Zealand to really empower people to lose weight and also reverse prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
The name NUVI represents what we do with a dual meaning: firstly, it means ‘new beginnings’ and secondly it combines the words nutrition and vitality as this is what we help people navigate.
At NUVI, we understand why weight challenges, obesity, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are difficult to manage by yourself. We are here to help you quickly and more easily cut through the overwhelming, confusing and often conflicting information to get faster and more sustainable health benefits with our professional and trusted programme. Making long-term lifestyle changes isn’t always as easy as it sounds, which is why our 12-week online Impact Programme breaks each step of the process down into a much simpler approach. This helps you put into action healthier habits that will improve your health more easily. Our programme provides you with help and support from expert medical and nutritional professionals to help you take charge of your health to live happier and with more energy.

More about me
I am a highly motivated, weight management and Senior Diabetes Registered Dietitian currently also undertaking a doctoral degree in digital family weight management interventions.
I understand that when it comes to diabetes management one size does not fit all, so I work with clients to create personalised plans that take into account their medical history, their likes and dislikes, and work and family commitments to ensure that their intervention fits into their lifestyle.
In my spare time, I enjoy designing clothes and accessories and I also love long walks!
If our mission and philosophy resonates with you, then we’d love to hear from you.
