Fiona has worked as a clinical dietitian in the UK and in Australia over the last 20 years. With a passion for normalising healthy eating, Fiona has worked with children and their parents to help families take steps towards healthier options and meals that work for the whole family. Fiona is particularly passionate about working with children with restrictive diets that may be due to sensory or mechanical delays.
As a mother of two young children and as an experienced dietitian, Fiona has a particular interest in helping children with weaning, feeding developmental and behavioural difficulties. Fiona recognises that eating well is not as simple as just buying groceries. Many families are torn between healthy eating and the realities of juggling work, family, extended family, school, sporting commitments and community commitments alongside preparing food.
Fiona will work with you to ensure your child is receiving adequate nutrition to ensure optimal growth and development.
