Child & Family Nutrition
Optimize mealtimes to be more enjoyable, promote connected eating and foster healthy eating habits.
Areas we can help:

Neurodiversity-Affirming Feeding
We provide responsive feeding support for neurodivergent children and adults. We often work in collaboration with other feeding clinicians like OTs.
- Assess common feeding challenges and reduce pressure at mealtimes
- Understand your child’s sensory differences and eating experience
- Optimize feeding impacted by medication related side effects
Raise Body Confident Kids
Families who embrace a non-diet and intuitive eating lifestyle raise kids who listen to their bodies and have healthier relationships with food.
Intuitive Eating
Parents explore their own relationships with food and build resilience against diet culture. These skills are protective against developing disordered eating, especially during vulnerable stages like puberty.
Disordered Eating and Eating Disorder Support
Our dietitians hold clinical expertise in disordered eating and eating disorders. We support folks to make peace with food and their bodies.
What do we offer?
- Comprehensive nutrition assessment (review of health history, growth, feeding dynamics, goals or concerns, and more)
- Personalized nutrition recommendations specific to your child and family’s needs
- Ongoing nutrition counselling with collaborative support and problem solving
Our approach is gentle, inclusive and collaborative.
We acknowledge every child is unique and requires an individualized approach. We respect body autonomy and your personal choices for feeding your child. Our practice is committed to affirming nutrition care thats anti-oppressive, gender-affirming and trauma-informed.
