About
Struggling to manage your child's unique feeding needs? You don't have to do it alone. I have over 10 years of experience in paediatric nutrition and can provide expert guidance, no matter your child's age, condition, or feeding challenges.
I've worked with hundreds of families just like yours, supporting them through a wide range of concerns, from babies born prematurely to children with severe disabilities. My goal is to create achievable solutions that make mealtimes calmer and more enjoyable for your family. Progress takes time, but we'll work through each step together, celebrating wins along the way.
Whether it's trying a new food or tackling lifelong feeding challenges, I'm here to help your child build a healthier, happier relationship with food.
Approach: Warm, family-centred, practical and collaborative; focuses on achievable step-by-step solutions and celebrating progress; works holistically with other healthcare providers
Weight Loss Approach
Growth and weight monitoring for children; focus on healthy development and positive relationship with food rather than adult-style weight loss interventions
