Fussy and selective eating
Division of responsibility, repeated low-pressure exposure, and rebuilding mealtimes that aren't a battle. We identify when selective eating is developmentally typical and when it needs more support.
Area of expertise
Child Nutrition
Feeding a child well is as much about the environment at the table as it is about what's on the plate. We work on both, with strategies that fit real family evenings rather than ideal ones.
What I help with
Fussy eating, growth faltering, allergies and starting solids — with practical strategies for busy whānau.
Starting solids
Timing, textures, iron-rich first foods and allergen introduction, following current NZ guidance — with far less anxiety than the internet supplies.
Growth faltering
Assessing intake against growth trajectory and building energy and nutrient density in ways children will actually accept, alongside your GP or paediatrician.
Food allergy & intolerance
Safe exclusion that doesn't compromise growth, label reading, school and daycare planning, and structured reintroduction when it's appropriate.
