Paediatric Care
From growth health check and nutrition assessment, to specialised services in improving your child’s relationship with food and their experience at the table. Let’s see how we can help your child together!
Family-based sessions
Making health changes as a family can be challenging. Taking the time to understand the different needs within a family can make the journey more enjoyable and effective.
What does treatment look like?
1) The comprehensive assessment typically ranges from 1-2 sessions, depending on the reason for sessions and what you are hoping to get out of the sessions. Exploration of treatment options and plan is discussed collaboratively with you and your child (yes! Including your child who hasn’t learnt to speak yet, there is still a lot we can learn from them!)
2) Families who have completed an assessment and are ready to take action on the treatment plan discussed will then typically receive bite-sized information and practical strategies to focus on weekly – fortnightly. This will then slowly transition to monthly sessions. For more preventative or early treatment approaches, sessions will typically be provided on an as-needed basis.
What are the benefits of on-going reviews?

Perfect for ensuring your new family member has the perfect set up from meeting nutritional needs, managing food allergies with confidence and starting solids without fear.
Toddlers
From 18 months to 6 years of age. One of the trickiest and most complex age-groups! Not only because it’s when fussy eating typically starts, but also because this is a key age group to help them learn about food and eating in an enjoyable way. Building healthy eating habits comes from curious minds and confident eaters.

Children
This age group starts to enter the world of friends and social peers! Learn how to help them establish a healthy relationship with food early on in life (and self-esteem!). If persistent fussy or picky eating, it could be a sign of something more!
Adolescents
Help your child embrace the many changes through puberty. How their relationship with food, own body image, and what food means to them will become important factors when entering adulthood.
