A compassionate, evidence-based approach to paediatric nutrition and picky eating.

Bringing nourishment and connection to family mealtimes across Canberra.

I am a passionate paediatric nutritionist and feeding therapist here to support you with the skills and strategies you need to feel confident in feeding your little ones.

Hi, I’m Hannah.

Starting Solids

Reaching this milestone in your baby’s life is an exciting and sometimes nerve-racking stage. It’s also a critical window for offering the nutrients your child needs for optimal growth and development, while laying the foundations for a positive relationship with food.

If you are preparing to start solids or have already begun and are looking for extra support, I will equip you with everything you need to feel confident and calm during mealtimes. I will also guide you through common challenges like gagging, vomiting, allergies, food sensitivities, and constipation. Together we will set your baby up for success and build positive mealtime habits that last a lifetime.

Picky Eating

It is a common myth that picky eating is just a phase every child will outgrow. There are often underlying reasons for feeding struggles and when left unaddressed, these challenges can become deeply rooted and difficult to resolve over time.

Early support can make a lasting difference in your child’s growth and development, and their relationship with food. It also helps you avoid common pitfalls like mealtime battles, reliance on screens, and preparing separate meals.

I offer evidence-based strategies tailored to suit your child and family, acknowledging each child has their own unique needs that must be met to feel safe exploring new foods at their own pace.

Feeding Therapy

Feeding therapy is a wonderful resource for children with a limited diet.

Feeding Therapy puts the fun back in to food, using play with a purpose to expand the variety food types and textures your little one tolerates and enjoys. We prioritise your child’s intrinsic motivation to eat while working on skill development.

These sessions can take place in your home or in clinic and are always a low-pressure, high-fun environment.

Please note: this service is not being offered in 2026. Instead, I am supporting parents to run their own feeding therapy sessions through The Picky Eating Reset: 12 Weeks to Overcoming Mealtime Meltdowns (for good).

Whole-Child Approach

As a mum of two young kids, I know how challenging mealtimes can be. From the mental load of planning and preparing meals to the stress of food being rejected and kids running on empty; it’s a lot!  My whole-child approach focusses on achieving a balanced and nutritious diet that is built on a framework of fun and connection at mealtimes.  I believe in a collaborative approach that recognises you are the expert of your child.  We will work together to uncover the root cause of feeding challenges and lay a firm foundation for your child to thrive as they expand their diet from starting solids to toddlerhood and beyond.

In The Kitchen

Fun fact about me: I don’t enjoy cooking. I once started a fire trying to boil pasta, I covered our newly renovated white kitchen in a bright pink beetroot smoothie (google 'cat in the hat - kitchen mess scene' if you need a visual), and I recently used three pots and two frying pans trying to cook a ‘one-pot soup’. Cooking does not come naturally to me, and I know many parents feel the same. As a result, I prioritise low-fuss cooking that's easy, affordable, and yummy so that we can spend more time with our family and less time starting fires in the kitchen.

Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor of Human Nutrition and have completed additional studies in paediatric nutrition. I am trained in the SOS (Sequential-Oral-Sensory) Approach to Feeding which is an evidence-based approach that uses play with a purpose to expand a child’s diet. I have a beautiful, very strong-willed picky eater at home who is the original source of my passion for child nutrition.
