DIETITIAN

Working with children and families to address nutrition and food related issues by developing eating patterns that best fit individual and family needs.

Our dietitian assesses and analyses current eating patterns and advises on appropriate food choices to achieve good health outcomes.

Common nutrition issues children may encounter include:

• eating patterns that lack specific foods and nutrients

• expected growth rate not being achieved

• low body weight

• excessive weight gain

• food allergies and intolerances

• gut issues including irregular bowel function and abdominal discomfort

• advice on nutritional supplements

A holistic approach is used in developing meal plans to ensure that an individual and family’s preferences are considered and understood.
