Real People. Real Studios. A Shared Vision.

Nutrition Studio Life was built by people who run their own studios — not by a franchise head office. Here's who's behind it.

Paul Macaskill

Founder & Mentor

Paul built and operates Thrive Nutrition Studio in Avalon, Lower Hutt, which celebrated its first anniversary in March 2026. He also built the studio for Neo Nutrition — Casey's studio and the first in the region. Before and alongside this, Paul built eight other traditional small businesses.

That broad experience gives him real, practical insight into business setup, day-to-day operations, customer growth, team development and long-term sustainability. Today he's passionate about giving others the same opportunity, through direct personal mentorship and a proven playbook.

Casey Allen

Visionary & Owner, Neo Nutrition

Casey was the driving force behind bringing the Nutrition Studio concept to the region. She first pitched the vision — a welcoming space where people could access better nutrition, support and community — and that vision became Neo Nutrition, the first studio in the region, which Casey owns and operates today in Lower Hutt.

With a strong background in administration, organisation and business operations, Casey plays a vital role behind the scenes — keeping systems, people and projects on track, and mentoring others with the same genuine care she brings to her own studio.

What we're building

Together we're building more than Nutrition Studios. We're building healthier communities, stronger leaders and a network of owners that grows through genuine collaboration. Paul and the team are currently helping bring a new studio, Huddle Nutrition Studio, to life in Wellington Central — opening soon.
