What your children eat, right from their first few hours of life, can actually determine the state of their health and the way they eat as adults?
As a specialist in children’s nutrition and a Mum myself, I know how difficult it can be to feed your family a healthy diet, especially when they refuse to eat what you put in front of them! That’s why I offer practical solutions to suit your child’s individual health needs and food preferences.
Individual Nutrition Advice for Children
Your child’s diet and the balance of nutrients they get on a regular basis can have a dramatic effect not only on their growth and development, but also their behaviour and learning.
The advice you may receive from health visitors, your doctor or other health agencies may give you good general knowledge. Yet your child is an individual, with unique and specific needs. Optimum nutrition during childhood is more than just a case of eating your five a day… although that’s a pretty good place to start.
Children develop at a rapid pace and need a tailor-made specific nutritional programme to suit their individual health needs and their age. Whether your child is just a few days old or approaching 18, I am a specialist in nutrition for children’s health and will work with you to understand your child’s health and why they may be experiencing particular health symptoms, alongside practical advice to correct any problems.

Advice on different life stages
Your child may not be suffering with a specific health condition but you may just want a regular check-up to ensure you’re giving them all the nutrients they need for optimum health and development. With practical recommendations, plenty of food ideas and meal planners, a nutritional therapy appointment with me, The Family Nutrition Expert is ideal.
Or perhaps you’re about to start weaning, your child is approaching puberty, going through a stressful period such as exams, or you’re worried about a family history of allergies. A nutritional therapy appointment can help to ensure your child is getting the right balance of nutrients to address their individual needs.
