Child Nutrition Services
As your child develops, their nutritional needs also evolve. Encouraging kids to try different foods and get involved in cooking at home will help them feel empowered to make good food choices. As your child grows, they’ll begin to understand the role of nutritious food, learn about their body’s hunger and full signals and foster healthy habits that last a lifetime. Give them the best start with foods that help their growing mind and body.

A children’s nutrition consultation is an in-depth discussion about your child’s diet, aiming to ensure your child receives the necessary nutrients for their optimal growth and development.
Children’s nutritional needs differ greatly from adults due to their rapid growth and development. A nutrition consultation can help make sure they’re getting the right foods to stay well and to support physical growth and brain development. Together, we can look at your child’s diet and make any changes necessary to help meet their unique needs and to help optimise their overall health.
Areas of health to review may include general healthy eating, managing food allergies and intolerances, food fussiness or refusal, sensory concerns, emotional/mental relationship with food and maintaining a balanced diet during growth spurts and adolescence.
You can book a children’s nutrition consultation by following the “Book a Consultation” link in our website or email. Feel free to select a date and time that works best for you.
