Building a healthy relationship with food

Supporting growing minds & bodies

Good nutrition is essential at every stage of development, from childhood through the teenage years. Early habits lay the foundation for lifelong health, growth, and well-being, while adolescence brings unique challenges, such as rapid growth, hormonal changes, and increasing independence.

I understand that feeding children and teens can sometimes be tricky—whether you're managing picky eating, food allergies, digestive issues, body image concerns, or just trying to ensure they get the right balance of nutrients. My approach is gentle, evidence-based, and tailored to your child or teen’s individual needs. By providing practical, science-backed strategies, I help young people build a positive relationship with food, supporting their energy levels, brain function, mood, and overall health in a way that fits their lifestyle.

Science meets practical nutrition

Every child and teen is unique, and their nutrition should be too. We take a holistic, personalized approach, incorporating Functional Medicine and Nutrigenomics to uncover underlying health factors and tailor nutrition strategies to their individual needs. By understanding how food interacts with their body—considering factors like gut health, metabolism, and genetic predispositions—we create realistic, achievable plans that work for your family.

Rather than focusing on strict rules or pressure around food, we provide gentle, practical solutions that encourage both children and teens to develop a positive, balanced approach to eating. Whether it’s tackling picky eating, managing digestive issues, supporting energy levels, or promoting body confidence, our goal is to make nutrition stress-free, empowering young people to make choices that fuel their health and well-being in a way that fits their lifestyle.

Work with me

How it works

Step 1

Book your free consultation

We start with a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your teen’s nutrition goals, challenges, and any specific concerns. This is a chance to see if we’re the right fit and how we can best support them.

Step 2

Health history & nutrition diary

Next, we take a deep dive into your child’s health and eating habits. We’ll review their medical history, digestion, energy levels, and any specific concerns like picky eating or food sensitivities. You’ll also complete a simple nutrition diary to give us insight into their current diet and mealtime patterns.

Step 3

Starting your personalised plan

Based on our assessment, we’ll create a custom nutrition plan tailored to their unique needs and goals. This may include meal ideas, practical snack options, strategies for better digestion, sports nutrition support, and mindset coaching around food choices. We’ll provide ongoing guidance and adjustments to ensure success.
