Personalised Nervous System Regulation & Wellbeing
Where health, nutrition and nervous system regulation come together.
Welcome
Kia ora, I'm Toni Pakula.
I’m a Registered Health and Nutrition Coach based in the Waikato, New Zealand.
My work combines evidence-informed health and nutrition coaching with practical nervous system strategies to support people experiencing stress, overwhelm and challenges with wellbeing to build greater resilience and confidence.
Through my work, I have come to understand that lasting wellbeing starts with understanding the whole person. Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, I work alongside clients to strengthen the foundations of health through nutrition, lifestyle, nervous system regulation and, where appropriate, listening-based approaches.
Alongside my coaching qualifications, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Graduate Diploma in Teaching and continue to undertake professional development in clinical nutrition and nervous system regulation.
Whether I’m supporting an adult, a child or a family, my goal is always the same:
To help people better understand their nervous system, strengthen their wellbeing and create sustainable change that lasts.
Why Work With Me
Over a decade of experience supporting individuals, families, children and educators with Selective Mutism and Anxiety

Lived experience + formal qualifications + postgraduate study
Practical, individualised support tailored to your goals and nervous system.
Whether you are looking for support for yourself, your family, or someone you love, I can help you take the next step towards greater calm, confidence and nervous system resilience.
At VOICE, I believe wellbeing is built through understanding the whole person.
My approach combines health and nutrition coaching, lifestyle support and nervous system-informed strategies to create personalised support pathways based on your individual needs, goals and circumstances.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Together, we explore what supports your wellbeing and create practical strategies that can be integrated into everyday life.

Working with Toni has been life changing, and our weekly catch ups have been a highlight in my week. I would recommend her to anyone looking for parent and child mental health coaching. I have felt supported and validated in my questions to help my son back to wellness.

Highly recommend the Safe and Sound Protocol with Toni! it’s a gentle treatment that is enjoyable and effective. Toni’s guidance, education and kindness supports its success. I went from being on edge and struggling, to finding an effective treatment to calm my nervous system, to a calm and grounded person.

Our family has gained so much from working with Toni. Each session has been invaluable in learning about strategies to regulate the nervous system. Toni has provided support every step of the way, her depth of knowledge and passion has shone. I now have a much deeper understanding of Selective Mutism and the nervous systems role, and a bank of tools to support our family, which I am also using in my work as a primary school teacher.
