Let me introduce myself.  My name is Leigh Mikkelsen.  I grew up in New Zealand before spending 7 years in England pursuing my passion for horses.  Upon returning to New Zealand in 1997, I farmed beef and sheep just outside Cambridge, New Zealand. In 2015 I moved into Cambridge town with my three children, and from there my journey into nutrition started.  

After some fortuitous conversations with trainers locally, I picked up a book about carbohydrate appropriate nutrition and the rest is history as they say. My thirst for knowledge and passion for health led me to the Holistic Performance Institute.  There I studied and qualified as a Nutrition Coach.  I am still furthering my education. 

I am trained in Carbohydrate Appropriate Nutrition, structured around the Ketogenic dietary guidelines.  My qualification is NZQA accredited at level 6, and my knowledge is evidence based and robust.

I look forward to helping you meet your goals, whatever they may be.  Our nutrition is essential for performance at every level of our functioning, so whatever it is you seek to achieve I can help you get there.
