Personalized nutrition counseling

Our pediatric nutritionists offer personalized support to encourage children to eat a well-balanced diet that works within any health restrictions they may have. Our registered dietitians take the time to understand each child's specific dietary requirements, whether it's managing food allergies, addressing weight concerns, or developing healthy eating habits. Our experienced dieticians offer confidential support for children struggling with issues such as stress eating. Our nutrition counselors also work with families on special diets such as the ketogenic diet for treating conditions such as epilepsy and seizures.

Our first step is to understand you and your child’s goals and concerns so that together we can develop a plan that works best for you. This includes brainstorming meal ideas and teaching approaches such as mindfulness to encourage healthy eating habits.

Nutrition education for parents

Managing a child's dietary issues can be overwhelming for many families. We serve as a resource for parents to share nutritional information that is ideal for their child’s age and health condition.

Our nutritionists discuss the importance of eating whole foods and help overcome any obstacles to healthy eating. This may include guidance on meal planning, healthy eating on a budget, tips for trying new foods, and more.
