Are there frequent meal time battles in your house?
Do you dread meal times because of the stress? Is your child a fussy or picky eater? |
In our highly effective, family-centred feeding clinic, we help make a shift from mealtimes that are difficult, frustrating and draining, to mealtimes that are stress free and enjoyable for the whole family.

At our food clinics children and parents join our paediatric dietitian and learn how to enjoy food in a safe, fun environment.
We choose the Play-Based SOS Approach to Feeding program to teach children to eat at a pace that respects their readiness to progress through learning the different steps involved in eating. We teach the children the skills they need in order to eat a wide variety of food types and textures using the natural, social reinforcement of playing with the food and interacting with adults. Individual Feeding Therapy
Children 12 months and older: you and your child will have a Therapy Meal with our Paediatric Dietitian. Foods, plates, bottles, cups and utensils will be selected and provided by the therapist that will best help your child reach their eating goals. Infants: Our Paediatric Dietitian has extensive experience in this age group and will support and guide you in how to introduce solids, and help babies who are experiencing Failure to Thrive. Fee: $170 for 50 minutes, $90 for 30 minutes |
Group Feeding Therapy
