We practice in a weight-neutral framework using the principles of the Health At Every Size (HAES) philosophy. We will not prescribe weight loss or restrictive diets and we support families to work towards food freedom, intuitive eating, body liberation and positive food and body experiences.
If you’re unsure whether to book in, feel free to email us at ciara@nurturednd.com.au for a discussion about your case.
What to Expect
In your first appointment your dietitian will spend an hour getting to know you and/or your child and discussing growth, physical wellbeing, current food intake and family food dynamics. Together, we then create a practical plan to support you to make progress with your or your child’s eating and nutrition.
What to bring
Please bring any growth history for your child (e.g. Child Health Record), referrals from specialists, pathology results, or other relevant information.
In some cases it is helpful to bring your child to the first appointment and in other cases it can be better to work without them – if unsure please contact us via email before your first appointment.
