Associate Nutritionist
Suhana is an Associate Nutritionist at Velora HealthConnect, supporting patients to build healthier, more sustainable nutrition habits that complement their broader healthcare journey. With a practical and person-centred approach, Suhana understands that nutrition is not one-size-fits-all. She works with patients to understand their individual goals, lifestyle, preferences and challenges, helping translate nutrition principles into realistic strategies that can be incorporated into everyday life. As part of Velora HealthConnect's collaborative care model, Suhana works alongside our clinical team to provide nutrition support across areas including weight and metabolic health, healthy ageing, women's health, general wellbeing and lifestyle optimisation. Her approach focuses on achievable, sustainable change rather than restrictive diets or short-term solutions, helping patients build the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to support their long-term health. Suhana provides nutrition and lifestyle support within her professional scope and works collaboratively with Velora's practitioners where clinical assessment or medical management is required.

After Your Assessment
Once our clinical team reviews your responses, here is how your care begins. You are in good hands from the first contact.
Choose a time that works for you, any day of the week. Our booking system is simple and secure. No referral from your GP is needed. Just pick a time slot, enter your details, and you're confirmed.
Your initial consultation is at least 30 minutes. Your clinician reviews your full health history, understands your lifestyle, and discusses what you're hoping to achieve. No rushed appointments.
Based on your assessment, your clinician creates a personalised care plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. If treatment is appropriate, scripts are sent directly to your pharmacy.
After your initial consultation, we schedule regular check-ins to monitor your progress, adjust your care plan as needed, and make sure you're supported every step of the way.
