FAMILY & CHILD NUTRITION & NUTRIGENETICS
Child & Teen Clinic
Building a healthy relationship with food
Supporting growing minds & bodies
Good nutrition is essential at every stage of development, from childhood through the teenage years. Early habits lay the foundation for lifelong health, growth, and well-being, while adolescence brings unique challenges, such as rapid growth, hormonal changes, and increasing independence.
I understand that feeding children and teens can sometimes be tricky— from managing picky eating, food allergies/intolerances, digestive issues, or simply trying to ensure sufficient nutrients for their growing needs. By providing practical, science-backed strategies, I help young people build a positive relationship with food, supporting their energy levels, brain function, mood, and overall health in a way that fits their lifestyle.
The functional medicine approach
Every child and teen is unique, and the approach for achieving optimal health and vitality is also unique. A holistic, personalised approach, incorporating Functional Medicine and Nutrigenomics to uncover underlying health factors is key to determining the right approach for your child. The functional medicine approach considers gut health, metabolism, as well as genetic predispositions to understand this fully and devise appropriate recommendations.
​
Rather than focusing on strict rules, it is much better to provide gentle and practical solutions that encourage children and teens to develop a positive and balanced approach to eating. Whether it’s tackling picky eating, managing digestive issues, supporting energy levels, or promoting body confidence, the goal is to make food choices stress-free for your child or teen - and for you as a parent.
​
​The goal is to empower young people to make food and lifestyle choices that fuel their health and well-being.

Supporting Children & Teens
