Lifestyle Nutrition
Are you fed up with stressful mealtimes and concerned your child's fussy eating is affecting their growth and overall health? Are you wanting to feel more confident starting your baby on solids and getting your child to eat more variety? Are you trying to manage multiple food allergies and worried your baby or child is not meeting their nutritional needs?

Are you wanting to feel more confident knowing what allergy friendly foods to feed your baby or child to help them grow & thrive? Are you struggling to identify what foods are triggering your baby or child's gut symptoms? Is your child not wanting to go to school or avoiding activities that they previously enjoyed due to tummy troubles?
Services
Working in private practice over the past 8 years I have developed a strong passion for early life & child nutrition. I love being able to support families to feel more confident navigating the early years from preconception through to childhood. I have a special interest in gut health including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), food intolerances, gastrointestinal food allergies and coeliac disease.
Our paediatric nutrition consultations are individualised to each family and their needs. The initial session will involve a comprehensive nutrition assessment where I will gather information on your baby or child's background including medical, growth and feeding history. I will get to know your own concerns and challenges as a parent and together we will come up with a realistic plan to meet the needs of your child and family.
Are you struggling with distressing digestive symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, excessive wind and unpredictable bowel habits? Do you feel anxious leaving home and avoid social activities due to worry of not having a toilet nearby? Are you wanting to take control of your IBS & know your foods triggers so that you can find relief from symptoms and enjoy life?
