Food
Allergies &
Intolerances

Managing food allergies or intolerances can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re trying to keep your child safe and well-nourished without making food stressful.

Common food allergens including nuts, grains, milk, eggs, fish, and shellfish

Do you see yourself here?

Fear of reactions and
constant vigilance

Worry about accidental exposure at school, parties, restaurants, or even at home.

Uncertainty about what
truly needs to be avoided

“Is this an allergy, an intolerance, or something else?” Families often receive mixed guidance and aren’t sure what’s necessary or overly restrictive.

Nutrient gaps and
growth concerns

When allergens are removed (milk, eggs, gluten, soy, etc.), parents worry about diet adequacy, especially for picky eaters.

School and childcare
stress

Navigating 504 plans, safe snacks, lunch packing, classroom treats, and communicating with caregivers.

Social isolation and
“feeling different”

Kids may feel left out at birthdays, sleepovers, or team events.

Balancing safety with a
healthy relationship
with food

Parents want their child to be safe without becoming fearful, rigid, or anxious around eating.

When we work together, you can expect:

A thorough nutrition
assessment and
clear priorities

We’ll review your child’s symptoms/reactions, medical history, growth pattern, current diet, and any testing or diagnoses—then clarify what matters most right now.

Guidance on what truly needs to be avoided (and what doesn’t)

I help families avoid unnecessary restriction.

Balanced meal and
snack ideas that fit
your child’s needs

You’ll get realistic options that support growth and development.

Nutrient gap
planning

We’ll make sure your child is offered enough energy, protein, and other key nutrients, using food strategies and supplements when appropriate.

Label reading

I’ll help you feel more confident interpreting labels, choosing safe products, and making grocery shopping less stressful.

Real life planning for
school, travel,
restaurants, and
social events

You’ll have a plan for lunches, classroom treats, parties, sleepovers, and sports days so your child can participate safely without feeling excluded.

Support protecting a
healthy relationship
with food

We’ll aim for safety without fear by reducing anxiety and rigidity while building confidence and flexibility where possible.

Collaboration with
your child’s care
team when needed

With your permission, I will coordinate with your pediatrician, gastroenterologist and/or allergist to align recommendations and clarify questions.

How we get there

During an initial consultation, we take time to understand your child’s full nutrition picture. We review medical history, growth, eating patterns, daily routines, and any concerns you’d like to address along with your goals for nutrition counseling. This session sets the foundation for ongoing support and ensures we’re working toward progress that feels meaningful and manageable.

Follow-up sessions are a space for continued guidance, problem-solving, and encouragement. They give us time to check in, celebrate progress, and work through challenges as they arise. We adjust the plan as your child’s needs evolve.
