Cushla Holdaway

Cushla is a New Zealand Registered Dietitian and Accredited Sports Dietitian based in Mid-Canterbury, with a BSc in Human Nutrition and a Master of Dietetics. She started her clinical career in some of New Zealand's largest hospitals, with a strong focus on diabetes care, before building her own private practice. She sees clients in person in Christchurch and Methven, and online across New Zealand.

She works with endurance athletes from beginners to elite, along with everyday people, and has specialised training in eating disorders in sport and RED-S. She is also a Monash University trained FODMAP dietitian, with interests in IBS, food intolerances, coeliac disease, diabetes and women's health. Her approach is about translating science into sense: listening first, then building a realistic plan without overcomplicating it.
