LEARN MORE ABOUT US

"I founded The Children's Dietitian to help the parents dreading every meal time. The mum who lives in fear of her daughter's peanut allergy. The dad who can't get his head around his son's apparent food intolerances. The family forever fretting about their toddler's fussy eating. You, if you're exasperated and don't know where to turn.

"And, to help your children - who can enjoy their food and everything associated with it, like fun times at the family dinner table. But they just need some help to get there.

"Through clinics, 1:1 consultations, webinars and courses, The Children's Dietitian helps families navigate and overcome feeding challenges - in a way that suits you, your lifestyle and your personal goals."

Neurodivergent children

Senses are often overwhelming for a neurodivergent child. We understand this - and help you adapt your feeding to support your child's eating.

From reflux to constipation, there are an array of conditions that can cause your child to have difficulties around eating. We support you in overcoming this.
Children with more complex medical needs

When your child has a complex medical history, this can be incredibly overwhelming - and it can be hard to get specialist support with feeding. We help families like yours - working towards a happier and healthier child.
Families with dietary choices

Vegan? Vegetarian? Or a food choice around religion? Whatever dietary choices you make, this can become more complicated when a child is involved. Let us support you in meeting your dietary choice goals.
