Annabel is a Brisbane based paediatric dietitian who believes it is possible for every child to reach their potential through improving their nutrition. Getting the best nutrition into babies, toddlers and school-age children not only supports them to grow, but can also minimise any discomfort associated with feeding, support meeting developmental milestones, and ensure they have the energy and concentration to do what they do best. Annabel works closely with parents and caregivers to build confidence helping reduce the stress that often surrounds feeding their children.
