Paediatric Dietitian Serving the Northern Rivers, Tweed Heads & the Gold Coast
Supporting Families to Nourish Growing Bodies for Life
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 and neonatal 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.

Providing Solutions for a Wide Range of Mealtime Issues
I support parents and caregivers who want their children to thrive, not just in their physical health but also in their relationship with food. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about how to meet your child’s nutritional needs, I can guide you toward real, lasting solutions.
Here’s how I can help you and your family:
Fussy Eating: Help your child feel more confident and open to trying new foods, while making mealtimes less stressful for the whole family.
Growth or Weight Concerns: Ensure your child is growing and developing as they should with clear guidance and ongoing monitoring.
Tube Feeding: Create practical and manageable tube feeding routines that fit seamlessly into your family’s daily life, improving comfort and care. I’ll support you and your family to create individualised nutritious blended meals to suit your child’s needs.
Food Allergies or Intolerances: Enjoy peace of mind with safe, balanced meals tailored to your child’s needs, so they can stay healthy and energised.
Balanced Nutrition: Feel reassured that your child is getting the nutrients they need to support their growth, development, and daily energy levels.
Building Positive Food Habits: Set the stage for lifelong healthy eating by fostering a positive relationship with food that helps your child feel at ease during mealtimes.
No matter your child’s age or challenges, I’ll work with you to take meaningful steps toward improving their nutrition and mealtime experience. Whether that means addressing immediate needs or supporting a lifelong journey.
Choose Between In-Person or Telehealth Appointments
I understand how busy family life can be, so I offer two ways to work together—choose the option that fits best with your schedule and needs:
In-Person Consultations: If you’re local to Pottsville, NSW, I offer in-person appointments for families from the Southern Gold Coast to Byron Bay, providing personal, hands-on support.
Telehealth Consultations: If you’re located outside the Northern Rivers or if in-person appointments aren’t convenient for you, I also offer online sessions. These allow us to connect wherever you are, with the same level of care and guidance.
Home visits: Talk to me about options for home visiting.
During your appointments, we’ll take the time to understand your child’s nutrition history, eating habits, and mealtime environment so we can create a plan that works for your family.
Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but I’ll be here to support you along the way.
You’ll have access to ongoing help through email, text, and phone, and I can also work with your other healthcare providers to ensure a holistic approach to your child’s care.
