About me

Hi, I'm Nicki McGregor, I’m a Registered Nutritionist (AfN) and certified Nutrition Coach with over 17 years of experience helping individuals and organisations achieve sustainable weight loss, build healthier habits, and develop a balanced relationship with food. I combine practical, evidence-based nutrition strategies with behaviour-change coaching to create lasting results.

I specialise in weight-loss support that goes beyond calories and meal plans. Together, we address habits, behaviours, emotional triggers, and the reasons behind your choices. I take a holistic approach, looking at sleep, stress, social support, and physical activity — because lasting health isn’t just about food, it’s about your whole life. My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make positive, sustainable changes — without restrictive diets, guilt, or confusion.

What is the AfN and why is it important?

The Association for Nutrition (AfN) is the UK’s independent regulator for qualified nutrition professionals. It sets strict standards for nutrition science, professional practice, and ethical conduct. Being AfN-registered means that I meet rigorous requirements in evidence-based knowledge and ongoing professional development. It also ensures that the advice and support you receive is grounded in credible science—not trends, fads, or unregulated “nutrition” training. For clients, this registration offers reassurance that you’re working with a qualified, accountable professional committed to high-quality, ethical, and safe nutrition practice.

My story

My passion for nutrition began long before I stepped into a classroom. Growing up near Byron Bay, Australia — a community deeply attuned to health and wellbeing — I was surrounded by alternative lifestyles, and conversations about wellness. At the same time, I witnessed the devastating impact of preventable illness, with family members and loved ones diagnosed with conditions like cancer. These experiences sparked my determination to understand how food could could protect and support lifelong health.

This drive led me to complete a Bachelor’s in Applied Science and Nutrition, a first-class Master’s in Public Health Nutrition in London, and a Nutrition Coaching certification, each step deepening both my scientific knowledge and my ability to guide practical, lasting behaviour change.
