About
I'm a Perth-based paediatric dietitian with a passion for helping families to feed their children well, without the overwhelm. I have a PhD in childhood weight management and 19 years experience working with restrictive eaters in both my clinic and online programs. I'm also a mum of two, and I know the struggle today's parents have with navigating limited time, information overwhelm, picky eaters and societal expectations.
My mission is to empower you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support your babies, toddlers and school-aged kids to nurture a great relationship with food as they continue to grow. My approach is built on evidence-based research into childhood nutrition, my experience working with thousands of families in my clinic and online, along with my own parenting journey.
Approach: Kind, evidence-based, practical and non-judgmental; focuses on clear roles at the table, realistic strategies for busy families, and positive long-term relationships with food rather than pressure or restriction
Weight Loss Approach
PhD-specialised in childhood weight management; focus is on healthy relationships with food, body respect, hunger trust, and evidence-based feeding strategies for children rather than adult weight loss
