Kate Collins

BSc, MDiet

Nutrition Consultant and Dietitian

As a New Zealand Registered Dietitian, Kate Collins is passionate about how nutrition can be used to help manage the symptoms associated with many women’s health issues.

Her special clinical interests include nutrition in pregnancy (including management of hyperemesis gravidarum); diabetes (including gestational diabetes); pelvic pain; Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS); nutrition management after bariatric surgery; endometriosis; irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); and disordered eating.

Kate has recently returned to Oxford Women’s Health after spending time in the UK where she gained experience working at NHS hospitals in Liverpool and London. During this time, she worked across departments in women’s health; gynaecology oncology; diabetes; bariatric surgery (including pregnancy after bariatric surgery); maternal nutrition; and renal and general medicine.

Prior to heading overseas, Kate worked at Oxford Women’s Health from 2022 to 2023. She also has experience working at Christchurch Women’s Hospital where she provided specialist outpatient support for gestational diabetes and women’s health conditions; she has worked as a diabetes dietitian, and as a rehabilitation dietitian in chronic pain management.

Kate sees her role as being that of a client advocate, working with people to seek a diagnosis, manage pain, interpret clinical information, and learn more about the function of the human body.

“I’m passionate about empowering women to understand their bodies and feel confident using nutrition as a tool to reduce symptoms they may be experiencing,” she says.

In her spare time, Kate enjoys running and surfing, and checking out the best flat white spots in Christchurch.
