I am a Registered Nutritionist and Dietician, specialising in children’s nutrition. I am a member of the Royal Society of Medicine, the Nutrition Society, and the Association for Nutrition.

 I studied nutrition at Sydney University and graduated with a BSc. in Biochemistry & Pharmacology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Nutrition & Dietetics. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and the Association for Nutrition.

I have worked in paediatric nutrition for over 25 years in NHS teaching hospitals and community trusts, and now as a consultant.

I offer advice to parents, health professionals, companies, government, nurseries and schools, public lectures, newspaper and magazine articles, books, and television and radio interviews. I am keen to encourage consistent nutritional messages and have been the keynote speaker at conferences, workshops and seminars.

My interests are in public health issues, and I have researched and written articles on portion sizes for children, weaning, omega-3 fats, vitamin D, fluid requirements in children, and nutritional problems within the UK. I worked with the Department of Health to procure suitable vitamin supplements for the Healthy Start scheme. With the Infant and Toddler Forum and British Dietetic Association I have developed a range of nutrition resources including portion sizes for children aged 1-18 years.

I have written five books, write for several professional publications and lecture at universities.

At my private practice in Chiswick, west London I see parents and children for individual consultations, offering expert advice on all feeding problems, fussy faddy eating, weight control, gastro-intestinal problems, allergies, intolerances, vegetarian and vegan diets and other nutritional issues.

I also work for corporate and charitable groups and can assist marketing departments with product development, nutrition and health claims and promotion.
