Reena was my Professional Supervisor while I was working as a hospital based Senior Paediatric Dietitian. She provided immense professional support while I navigated the daily challenges of working in a busy clinical paediatric role. Reena has many years of clinical expertise and teaching to draw on, and she coached me in a way that I was able to come up with my own solutions. I felt supported, listened to and confident having Reena guide me while I completed objectives to achieve career progression goals. She is calm, logical and easy to work with. I would recommend Reena to anyone seeking coaching and supervision in dietetics or to health professionals working in other disciplines also.

I am delighted to recommend Reena, who served as my practice supervisor when I transitioned to New Zealand. I was an experienced practitioner, former Head of Department, and early-career academic at the time. I engaged Reena’s mentorship to navigate the complex process for practicing in a new country. This journey was daunting, compounded by adjusting to a new career path, culture, job, and support system. Reena’s exceptional guidance made it not only manageable but truly enriching.

Her mentorship was a lifeline during tough times. With empathy, patience, and unwavering support, she helped me build resilience and confidence when I needed it most. Reena recognised and built upon my existing skills while thoughtfully addressing areas needing adaptation. Her depth of knowledge, clear feedback, and ability to foster a safe learning environment were invaluable. Her approach was consistently supportive and constructive, ensuring that I felt both empowered and appropriately challenged.

What truly sets Reena apart is her genuine commitment to her supervisees’ growth. Her encouragement and critical insights into professional communication, cultural competence, and patient-centred care significantly enhanced my practice. I am immensely grateful and wholeheartedly recommend Reena as an outstanding mentor and professional supervisor.

I have had the pleasure of working with Reena for over ten years – first in a mentorship capacity, where she provided professional support and clinical guidance as I began my career as a dietitian. Through her coaching style, she empowered me to think critically and problem-solve complex clinical cases. Her kind and empathetic manner created an open, supportive dialogue, allowing me to get the most from her support.

Later, I had the opportunity to work alongside Reena in a role supporting dietitians through their studies. She was instrumental in coaching me through difficult situations and workplace conversations, equipping me with the skills to navigate challenges with confidence. Reena is a strong communicator and mediator, always fostering opportunities to find creative solutions and empowering me to communicate effectively in complex scenarios.

I am incredibly grateful for her coaching throughout my career. Anyone fortunate enough to be coached by Reena will feel empowered to thrive in their chosen field.

I was very fortunate to have Reena as my new graduate mentor. She was approachable, friendly, and made professional supervision an enjoyable and valuable experience. Reena’s structured yet flexible coaching approach gave me confidence in my decisions, particularly while working in a specialist allergy role and mentoring students – rare responsibilities for a new graduate. Her immense knowledge and teaching skills encouraged me to think critically and problem-solve, skills I continue to use daily. Reena’s genuine care, guidance, and support during this pivotal year left a lasting impact, and she continues to be someone whom I greatly admire.
