Meet Tayla
Tayla is a qualified nutritionist and nurse, currently practicing in Queenstown. I have been trying to collaborate with Tayla for years, and finally the time is right. Tayla has an incredible thirst for knowledge and research and has a lovely way of communicating and supporting patients. Two brains is always better than one, so I am thrilled to have her join the WBJ team and share her expertise.
I am sure you will love her as much as I do! - Jessica
A note from Tayla
I am a wife, and a mum to our beautiful 1-year-old daughter, Ella (and our 3-year-old golden retriever, Hugo). We are big fans of the outdoors and love to get out and go camping, hit the slopes, and adventure around our backyard. We moved from Auckland to Queenstown in 2020, and although we love to pop back and see family and friends, Queenstown is definitely home now.
I studied Human Nutrition back in 2011 alongside Jess. After completing that degree and doing a year of backpacking around Europe, I decided to head down the nursing pathway in order to combine my love for nutrition with modern medicine.
I completed a degree in nursing at the University of Auckland and became both a practice and urgent care nurse. I love my job as a nurse, but there was always something missing…
Then along came Jess.
Jess has been trying to get me on board for a while, but with nursing and mum life, I’ve had to pick my battles. However, with motherhood going (somewhat) smoothly, I thought it was time I teamed up with Jess and finally tie my nursing and nutrition knowledge together, to provide the care I’ve always wanted to. I am so lucky to have Jess by my side as well – as Jess says, two brains are always better than one.
Although I have really found my true passion working for WBJ, I’ll still cast you up after you have a fall on the ski fields in Queenstown!
My areas of interest include all things periods (irregular, heavy, non-existent), hormonal imbalances (PCOS, PMS, thyroid issues), and gut health.
I can’t wait to chat!
