Our Clients Say...

“Tammy helped us manage the dairy-free diet which really took the pressure off. Developing a routine helped us break the grazing cycle which has increased the amount she eats, to the point that she knows when it is time to eat. Her weight has also improved.”

Parent of 18-month-old with a cow's milk protein allergy & faltering growth

“What is great about Tammy is that she takes the time to break everything down and explains everything so clearly to try and reduce the stress for both parent and child.”

Parent of a 3-year-old picky eater

“My son is 3 years old and was eating extremely limited foods and had poor weight gain. Tammy is extremely supportive to not only my son but also to myself explaining exactly why he has problems eating and additionally, reassuring that it is not our fault as parents. He has come so far already, desensitising to some foods and becoming more accepting to developing his range of foods although we still have a long way to go.”
