A predictable routine
We organise meal and snack times, the eating environment, and the roles of the adult and child.
For parents and guardians
Mealtimes do not have to become a daily battle.
Difficult mealtimes do not mean that you have failed as a parent. I help families reduce tension, build a predictable routine and gradually broaden a child's experience of food, without pressure, shame or promises of a quick fix.

A realistic goal
The goal is not for a child to eat everything tomorrow.
Change often begins with a calmer atmosphere and consistent conditions. A new food may need many neutral exposures before it is accepted.
Gradual exposure
We combine familiar foods with small opportunities to explore new tastes, smells and textures, without forcing.
Less pressure
We move away from bargaining, shame and rewards for every bite. Progress also means more calm, curiosity and a better routine, not an empty plate.
Where to begin
We start with the whole picture, not one meal.
Mealtime difficulties can look similar while needing different next steps.
A limited range of accepted foods
We look at the food range, textures, smells, presentation and situations in which trying feels easier.
Tension and conflict at the table
We organise adult and child roles, meal rhythm, pressure, negotiation and the language used around food.
Appetite, regularity and energy
We consider the whole day: gaps between meals, drinks, school, sleep, activity and signals requiring medical assessment.
How support works
A plan for the family, not another list of restrictions.
- Conversation with a parent or guardianWe discuss history, daily routine, preferences, what meals look like and the main difficulty.
- Safety and scope assessmentI identify what can be addressed through nutrition and when a paediatrician, doctor or another appropriate professional should be involved first.
- A small-step planThe family receives specific actions for routine, neutral exposure, food presentation and the mealtime atmosphere.
- Review and adjustmentWe review what reduces tension, what is manageable and which steps need adjustment or further assessment.
Safety first
Some signals require medical assessment.
Contact a GP or paediatrician promptly if a child has swallowing difficulties, persistent pain, prolonged marked restriction of food, a clear loss of energy, or concerns about weight or growth.
In an emergency — for example, fainting with ongoing symptoms, severe dehydration, breathing difficulty, chest pain, confusion or immediate danger — use local emergency care.
Two tools
Organise observations before a conversation.
Both tools run locally in the browser, do not diagnose and allow a private summary to be printed.
Child eating compass
Eight short areas: age, main concern, duration, energy, meals, previous attempts, country and goal.

Selective eating can be part of development, but persistent difficulties, declining daily functioning or concerns about growth need individual assessment. This page helps organise observations; it does not identify the cause or replace examining the child.
First contact
Contact NataliaYou do not need to describe the full history in the form.
Briefly state what the enquiry concerns. A form about a child must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian; documents and results are discussed later through an agreed channel.
