Hi, I’m Emily – Registered Nutritionist and mum of two.

I help parents of 2–10-year-olds feel calm, confident and clear about how and what they feed their children.

Whether you’re stuck in daily food refusal, worried about sugar, or just want to make sure they’re getting the nutrients they need at mealtimes, you’re in the right place.

I’ve spent over 20 years working in nutrition, child behaviour and education, and I know that feeding children well isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about reducing pressure, building trust, and helping kids learn to enjoy food in their own time.

Alongside my Nutrition degree from the University of Surrey in 2002, I’ve completed additional training in responsive feeding, emotionally aware feeding, and neuro-affirming approaches – including programmes from Responsive Feeding Pro, the Ellyn Satter Institute, The Feeding Trust and the National Autistic Society.
This means the support I offer is evidence-based, compassionate and adaptable to your child’s individual needs.

In my Nutrition Clinic, I work 1:1 with families to:
🌱 Reduce fussy eating and mealtime battles
🍎 Support balanced nutrition (without guilt or confusion)
🍫 Build positive habits around sweet foods and snacks
🥕 Raise confident eaters who enjoy variety and feel good about food

It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress and peace at the table.

Every family’s feeding journey is different, and there’s no one “right” way to do it. My role is to help you find an approach that feels calm, confident and sustainable so that your child can grow up enjoying food, not fighting it.

I’m a Registered Nutritionist (BSc, 2002) with a background in early years education and advanced training in responsive feeding, emotionally aware feeding, and autism-informed practice. I combine evidence-based nutrition with real-world parenting strategies to help families enjoy food again without pressure, bribery or guilt.
