Lively Eaters Feeding Therapy
About
Lively Eaters Feeding Therapy is a community of experienced Paediatric Therapists – Dietitians, Infant Mental Health, Paediatrician, Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists – led by Dr Emily Lively (PhD), who has over 25 years experience working with childhood feeding disorders and enteral tube dependency. Our mission is to provide compassionate, effective and meaningful care to families and children experiencing tube feeding, swallowing and/or mealtime challenges. We create a team for each child that meets your family's needs rather than assimilating you into a pre-determined therapy program.
Services include feeding and mealtime assessment, ongoing therapy (in-person, group, telehealth or home visits), professional training and mentoring, and intensive tube weaning and family feeding therapy (1-week home-based program). Our approach is family-centred, responsive, and evidence-based, supporting families across Australia and internationally.
Approach: Family-centred, holistic, compassionate, responsive, evidence-based; individualised rather than pre-determined programs

Client Reviews
“Emily and her team at Lively Eaters have provided our family with support, education and life changing opportunities, as well as results, which I didn't know were possible. We are so grateful for their ongoing efforts and help.”
— Jessica Atanasovska
“When our Son stopped eating and drinking after a choking incident we looked everywhere for help and nothing worked until we met Emily and her team at Lively Eaters. The whole team have been so supportive and provided practical and realistic strategies for us to get our Son eating again. Our intensive week in Adelaide triggered some phenomenal changes that continued once we returned home under the guidance of Emily and her team. Our Son is now eating better than he ever has and his confidence in himself is off the charts.”
— Peita McKensey
“Our family has had fantastic support in our eating journey, that wasn't straight forward from the start. So grateful to all the talented staff at Lively eaters that have helped us from 100% tube fed to 100% oral, for food and liquids. We couldn't have done it without you!!”
