THE FOUNDATIONS OF COTHU
About Moira
I'm Moira Dunn, a dedicated functional nutritionist with a deep-rooted passion for health and wellbeing.
Understanding that my own practices in nutrition, stress management, sleep, physical activity, and emotional well-being directly influence her, I committed to a holistic lifestyle, and began Cothu - Nutrition & Wellness
Why Nutrition?
For years I had a difficult relationship with food and struggled with an eating disorder. The universe brought me to naturopath Mel Forrest, and I dived head-first into holistic health, which is where my journey back to self really began. Mel supported me in making some huge life changes and over time I realised my passion for holistic health stretched further than just myself; I knew this is where I needed to be, helping others on their health journey. I feel very fortunate to work alongside Mel and continue to expand my knowledge and expertise.
My Background
My collaboration with Mel Forrest began a year into my naturopathic treatment, marking a natural progression in my career. This organic transition reaffirmed my belief in my chosen path. My quest for deeper knowledge led me to the Nutritional Therapy Association, where I was honoured with the New Zealand scholarship to specialise in functional nutrition. Today, I not only practice as a functional nutritionist but also mentor students in this field, guiding them through their educational journey. It's a privilege to work alongside Mel, continuously enhancing my expertise and assisting others in their pursuit of health and vitality.
