Supporting Healthy Habits With Expert School-Aged Child Nutrition

From fussy eaters to busy schedules, feeding a school-aged child can feel like a constant juggling act. As an expert in school-aged child nutrition, Kylie helps you navigate this stage of your child’s life with practical, evidence-based support that suits your lifestyle. Whether you're concerned about growth, iron levels, food refusal, or mealtime struggles, Kylie guides you through it with care and understanding.

School-aged children grow quickly and form lifelong habits, making this the ideal time to establish positive eating patterns. Kylie’s goal is to alleviate stress at mealtimes and help your whole family enjoy food once again by employing a responsive, child-centred approach to nutrition. Kylie’s school-aged child nutrition consultations address the following concerns:

  • Nutritional concerns for growth and development.

  • Food refusal or selective eating.

  • Paediatric feeding disorders, including ARFID.

  • Neurodivergent children with feeding and sensory differences.

  • Vegan and vegetarian eating for kids.

  • Managing allergies and intolerances.

Building Balanced Habits Without The Stress

Supporting Energy, Focus And Iron Needs

Iron deficiency and low energy levels can impact learning, mood, and concentration. Through personalised assessments, Kylie identifies nutritional gaps and provides practical ways to boost iron and other essential nutrients in your child’s diet - without turning every meal into a battle.

An Inclusive And Neuro-Affirming Approach

No two children are alike, especially when it comes to their individual experiences with food. Kylie works closely with families of neurodivergent children to create inclusive and supportive strategies that respect sensory needs, communication styles, and personal preferences. As part of her work in school-aged child nutrition, she takes a neuro-affirming approach that helps build trust, reduce mealtime stress and encourage curiosity around food in a way that feels safe and empowering for your child.

Flexible Support That Fits Your Life

Support for school-aged child nutrition is available through in-home sessions (within 10 km of Beaumaris, Victoria), telehealth appointments, and parent coaching; she is also an NDIS provider. Additionally, Kyle provides one-on-one feeding therapy as needed. Everything is tailored to your child’s unique needs and your family’s routine.

Let’s work together to make school-aged child nutrition feel easier, more enjoyable and more connected - for you and your child.
