 Nikki
Hart commenced her current nutrition practice
at Les Mills World of Fitness, Auckland in May 1995; immediately
after she completed the practicum required for her post-graduate
diploma in dietetics. Originally Nikki was an employee of
Les Mills but shortly after joining the gym’s staff
Les Mills elected to contract out its nutrition services.
Nikki began to contract her nutrition services in late 1995.
After becoming medically registered as a New Zealand Registered
Dietitian (NZRD) in March 1996, Nikki went on to build up
one of the fastest growing private nutrition practices in
New Zealand. When first established the practice dealt with
clients who required weight loss or had eating disorders.
While she still offers her services to many such people,
Nikki has also built up a strong following of sports clients.
Both aspects of Nikki’s practice have grown considerably
since 1995, with over 300 clients now on her books. Nikki
opened her nutrition clinic in Ponsonby, Auckland –
‘Nikki Hart Nutrition’ in 2002.
A growing number of Nikki’s clients are elite athletes,
or sports organisations seeking to maximise their athletes
performance by incorporating Nikki’s skills and specialist
knowledge into their training programmes. Nikki extended
her qualifications with a Sports Nutrition Education course
at Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), Canberra, Australia
in 1997 and has recently been awarded First Class Honours
for a Masters Degree in Nutritional Science (Massey University).
