AVOKADOPUU
Nutritional therapy
Avokadopuu offers personalized nutritional therapy and lifestyle support to help you make sustainable changes that support your health and overall wellbeing.
Nutritional therapy takes an individual approach to nutrition and wellbeing. Your health, lifestyle, goals, dietary habits and personal needs are taken into consideration when planning your nutritional guidance.
During a consultation, we look at your diet
and eating habits as well as factors such as digestive health, sleep, stress,
physical activity and recovery. The aim is to find practical and sustainable
ways to support your wellbeing through nutrition and lifestyle choices.
Nutritional therapy may be particularly helpful if you would like support with:
- improving the quality and balance of your diet
- weight management
- blood sugar balance and metabolic health
- digestive and gut health
- energy levels, fatigue and recovery
- sleep and stress management
- hormonal wellbeing and menopause
- skin health
- supporting a healthy immune system
- food sensitivities and individual dietary needs
- vegetarian or other special diets
- sports nutrition
- building a balanced and health-supporting everyday diet
The approach is always tailored to your individual situation. The goal is not a strict diet or a quick fix, but realistic changes that can become a natural part of your everyday life.
Services
Individual nutritional therapy
Before your first appointment, you may be asked to complete a health questionnaire and food diary. During the consultation, we discuss your health history, current diet, lifestyle and goals.
Based on this information, you will receive personalized nutritional recommendations and practical guidance for your everyday life. When appropriate, food diaries, questionnaires and laboratory tests may be used to complement the assessment.
Follow-up consultations can be arranged according to your needs. During follow-ups, we review your progress, discuss any challenges and adjust your recommendations when necessary.
Sicknesses and medical conditions are diagnosed and treated by licensed physicians. Nutritional therapy is intended to support health and wellbeing and does not replace medical care.
Other Services
In addition to individual nutritional therapy, Avokadopuu offers general nutritional guidance, food diary analysis and functional laboratory testing as part of personalized nutritional support.
You can also choose Reiki treatment, a gentle relaxation treatment that offers an opportunity to slow down, relax and support your overall sense of wellbeing.

Avokadopuu founder
I am Sanna Niemelä, a nutritional therapist and biochemist (M.Sc.). I am also a certified Reiki practitioner. I trained as a nutritional therapist at Terveysopisto Salus, studied nutritional science at the University of Helsinki, and earned my M.Sc. in biochemistry from the University of Oulu.
Nutrition and its impact on metabolism and overall health have always fascinated me. My own health challenges inspired me to deepen my understanding of nutrition, human physiology, and holistic wellbeing.
My education has given me a strong foundation in biochemistry, human physiology, and nutritional science, while my personal experiences have provided valuable insight into gastrointestinal disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune conditions, and the role of nutrition in supporting health.
My passion is to help people improve their wellbeing through nutrition and sustainable lifestyle changes. I believe that by understanding each person's unique needs, it is possible to restore balance, support long-term health, and improve quality of life. Helping others discover the positive impact that nutrition can have on their health is what inspires me every day.
Customer feedback
"Thank you for the good guidance and really good attention to detail. Stomach and intestinal problems were discussed in a comprehensive way and from many angles. We went through what can cause problems. I received a very wide range of dietary advice, recommendations/suggestions for supplements to support my digestive system, links to where I can look for more information, how to listen to my body and much, much more. Sanna's knowledge of nutrition and supplements and everything related is mind-blowing. If there was something that was bothering me or I needed further clarification, she was there to find out. A warm recommendation!!!"

"I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from my nutritional therapist Sanna. She is knowledgeable, friendly, has keen eye for detail, and is truly dedicated to her work. Her advice and guidance have been invaluable on my journey towards a healthier lifestyle. She listens carefully to my needs and tailors her recommendations specifically for me. With her help in tailoring my diet, my tummy bloating is remarkably reduced, and the piercing pain I used to experience after meals is almost completely gone. Special mention for her expertise in recommending and understanding the Nordic Lab tests, managing the process, and analyzing the results. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their well-being and receive support with their nutrition."

"I received a lot of good tips, information and encouragement throughout the project. It has been easy to put the guidelines into practice. My stomach problems have eased considerably and I am motivated and inspired to continue on the same path, at my own pace. Thank you for the encouragement!"
