A bit about me
As a registered nutritionist, child feeding expert and parent, I know how overwhelming feeding kids and teens can be.
Despite having worked with families since 2002, it wasn't until I became a mum myself six years later that I truly understood how complex the feeding journey really is.
When mealtimes aren’t going well, it can feel like you're failing at something as fundamental as feeding your family. Something you should inherently ‘know’ how to do well. But you're not failing, and the strategies that worked when your child was a baby, or that work for other families, might not work for yours now as they’re getting older, and that's ok.
Through my early paediatric nutrition career in the NHS and then privately, I’ve spent over two decades helping parents understand why their current approach isn’t working and giving strategies that fit their real situation. I've seen that behind every family food concern, whether it’s picky eating, weight worries or unhealthy relationships with food, is a parent doing their absolute best to raise healthy, happy eaters.
I believe that how you feed your children is just as important as what you feed them.
My Approach
My values are rooted in Responsive Feeding, an approach that helps you build trust with your child, reduce pressure around food and make mealtimes enjoyable for everyone.
This isn't about perfect meals or getting your child to eat everything. It's about creating an environment where your child can learn to trust their body, explore food at their own pace and where you can feel confident around mealtimes again.
I have a BSc in Applied Human Nutrition, an MSc in Psychology and Health, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Food and Health Studies. I’ve also completed training in Emotionally Aware Feeding and am a proud registrant of the UK’s Association for Nutrition. When we work together you’ll be provided with practical strategies grounded in evidence-based science as well as compassion.
Remember…
Your child's eating habits don't reflect your worth as a parent and reaching out for support doesn't mean you're failing. With my approach, understanding and support, I’ll help you shift your mealtime mindset so that food becomes a source of connection, not conflict.
Let’s take the pressure off and bring joy back to your family’s table, together.
