Helping Families Find Solutions for Mealtime Challenges
I know how worrying it can feel when your child struggles with eating. You want them to grow strong and enjoy food, but you’re not sure how to make that happen.
As a paediatric dietitian, I work closely with families to find simple, effective steps that make mealtimes calmer and more positive.
Here are some ways I can help your family:
Fussy or Anxious Eaters: Build your child’s confidence and curiosity around new foods. Make mealtimes less stressful for everyone.
Growth or Weight Concerns: Track your child’s growth and get clear guidance to support healthy development.
Breast, Bottle or Mixed feeding: We will work together to ensure you and your baby have a positive feeding journey and that they grow to their best potential.
Transitioning to Solids: Guidance with what foods to start and when, and what to do if your child does not seem interested in starting solids.
Tube Feeding: Create easy, practical feeding routines that fit your daily life. I can help you prepare blended meals tailored to your child’s specific nutritional needs.
Tube Weaning: Expert multidisciplinary guidance to help you wean your child from their feeding tube (once it is safe to do so).
Food Allergies or Intolerances: Design safe, balanced meals so your child stays healthy and full of energy.
Gut Health Issues (Constipation, Reflux, IBS): Support to manage common gut issues with practical diet strategies that ease discomfort and improve your child’s overall well-being.
Autism Spectrum Disorder & Sensory Feeding Challenges: Gentle, step-by-step support for children who struggle with textures, smells, or mealtime routines—making food feel safer and less overwhelming.
Nutritional Deficiencies (e.g. Iron, Vitamin D): Help identifying and addressing nutrient gaps in your child’s diet to support energy, growth, immunity, and long-term health.
No matter your child’s age or challenges, I’ll work with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll make real progress, whether it’s solving urgent concerns about growth or building a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
Support That Fits Your Family’s Life
I know your family life is busy, and every minute counts. That’s why I offer flexible ways to work together, because getting support should always feel easy.
Choose the option that works best for you:
In-Person Consultations: My clinic is based in Pottsville, NSW, but I also happily support families across the Gold Coast.
Telehealth Consultations: 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: For NDIS participants, home visiting is often a preferred option, which is not only convenient for you but also allows me to better understand your child’s feeding environment.
During our sessions, I’ll take the time to understand your child’s feeding history, your family’s mealtime routines, and the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create simple, realistic strategies designed for your family to help you and your child meet your goals.
I’ll work closely with your other healthcare providers to ensure a holistic approach to your child’s care.
