We have over a combined four decades of experience in providing paediatric nutrition services and hold post graduate qualifications in all areas of kids nutrition. We provide nutrition consultations to families with children who require feeding support and are highly experienced in managing a broad range of fussy eating and paediatric conditions.

Our team are highly experienced paediatric dietitian's and also mothers. We understand the constant juggle and everyday frustrations of feeding fussy eaters and also the complexity in caring for children with increased needs. We love working one on one with families and watching them find success and confidence in feeding their children. We have a combined three decades of clinical experience, and this coupled with our parenting experience, has enabled us to develop an immense amount of respect and appreciation for our families. You are the "champions" in your child's support team and we are here to support you with their dietary needs, regardless of complexity.
At Brisbane Paediatric Nutrition we provide expert nutrition advice that supports the healthy growth and development of infants, children and adolescents. We are passionate about promoting healthy relationships with food, supporting positive body image and "diet free" interventions for kids. We believe in supporting the family as a whole and empowering parents to make decisions regarding their child's nutrition management and take back control at meal times.
Our team includes fully trained and qualified feeding therapists
These staff are trained in both the The Satter Division of Responsibility in Feeding and the SOS Approach to Feeding Therapy. Based on and grounded philosophically in the “normal” developmental steps, stages and skills of feeding found in typically developing children, the SOS Approach focuses on increasing a child’s comfort level by exploring and learning about the different properties of food. The program allows a child to interact with food in a playful, non-stressful way, beginning with the ability to tolerate the food in the room and in front of him/her, then moving on to managing the smell of the foods, learning about how foods feel on the body and in their mouth, and then enjoying tasting and eating new foods following the Steps to Eating.
We are currently taking enrolments in to our feeding therapy program and offer this during school terms at our Shorncliffe Clinic. Please email our team to find out more information.
