Families often come to me because:

• They are worried and stressed about their child’s feeding.

• They have been told to “wait and see,” but continue to be worried and stressed.

• Their child gags, retches, or vomits with certain textures

• Their child eats a very limited range of foods

• Their child refuses solids or struggles to progress with textures

• The whole family finds mealtimes stressful, emotional, or overwhelming

• Their child has feeding difficulties alongside reflux, allergies, prematurity, or neurodivergence

If any of this sounds familiar, an assessment can bring clarity, immediately reduce stress, and find a clear way forward.

What’s included:

• A comprehensive feeding report (worth £80)

• A detailed discussion of your child’s feeding history and current concerns

• A detailed mealtime audit, looking closely at exactly what your child is eating and drinking across a typical day so we can identify any nutritional gaps, patterns, and opportunities to expand their diet

• Review of videos of your child eating (so there’s no pressure on them to perform live)

• Identification of the underlying reasons feeding is difficult

• Practical, realistic strategies tailored to your child and family

• A clear explanation of next steps and support options

Most importantly - My aim is to reduce your anxiety and stress around feeding your child and give you the confidence you need to move forward in a way that is practical and easy.

By the end of the session, you will:

• Understand why feeding feels hard for your child

• Feel more confident about what to do (and what not to do)

• Have a plan that fits your child - not a one-size-fits-all approach

• Feel reassured that you’re not causing the problem

There is no pressure, force-feeding, or judgement. The session is designed so that you come away feeling less stressed about feeding your child and optimistic about what to do next.

We work at your child’s pace, with respect for their development and emotional safety.

Initial online zoom consultations are instantly bookable. Online assessments are most suitable for children who have aversive or restricted eating patterns and who have no identified swallowing problems.

Home initial assessment visits are also instantly bookable. Home visits are recommended for children who have dysphagia (swallowing problems) or who are under a paediatrician for their feeding difficulties.

Initial consultations are up to 60 minutes in length and begin with a detailed case history so I can understand your child’s feeding difficulties and background. This is followed by personalised advice and guidance based on the information you provide. You will be provided with a written report once the consultation is complete.

Your child does not need to be present for the online session as long as you can record short videos of your child eating and drinking beforehand. These can be sent securely to my encrypted mobile phone so I can review them as part of the assessment.

Further details will be sent to you upon booking.

For home visits, travel charges will be invoiced separately, based on distance from the DE4 area.

If your child is less than 6 months, I offer home visits only (no online services)

Online consultations can be very helpful for many feeding concerns, but they are not suitable for every child. If your child has complex feeding or swallowing needs, including significant dysphagia or medical complexity, an initial face-to-face assessment is usually essential so that I can carry out a safe and thorough evaluation. For this reason, online bookings are not appropriate for these cases. If you feel your child’s needs may be more complex, please get in touch before booking so we can discuss the most appropriate type of appointment.

The Weaning SOS call is designed for babies ages 6-12 months. It is also designed for parents who are looking for quick reassurance and advice from an expert.

This call is for families resident in the UK and Republic of Ireland only.

This phone call is helpful for:

• Advice for getting started with weaning - from an expert with 16 years experience.

• Refusal to take solids – baby pushes food away or turns head.

• Texture aversion – baby refuses lumpy or finger foods.

• Slow progress with weaning – baby hasn’t moved from puree to mash or finger foods.

• Delayed self-feeding – baby shows little interest in picking up food or using utensils.

• Mess aversion – baby resists touching food or feeding themselves.

• You are unsure if certain feeding behaviours are “normal” i.e. excessive gagging

• You have asked your Health Visitor for advice but you still feel like “something is off”

The Weaning SOS call is 20 minutes in duration.

We will briefly discuss your concerns and based on the information you provide, I will be able to give you some practical reassurance and advice, or suggest a full consultation if we feel your baby’s issues are more urgent or complex.
