how can I help?
Fussy Eating & Limited Variety
If mealtimes feel like a battlefield and your child eats fewer than 20 foods, you’re not alone. I help parents understand the why behind fussy eating and provide gentle, realistic strategies to expand variety without pressure or bribery. My approach supports positive mealtimes and long-term food confidence.
Sensory-Based Food Aversions
Some kids are sensitive to textures, smells, or even the way food looks — this can make meals feel overwhelming. I help families identify sensory triggers and offer step-by-step strategies to slowly build tolerance and trust around food, often in collaboration with your child’s therapy team.
Mealtime Meltdowns & Refusal
Whether your child won’t sit at the table or refuses entire meals, I support parents to set up calm, consistent routines that feel manageable (and even enjoyable). Together, we create mealtime strategies that reduce stress and encourage more flexible eating over time.
how can I help?
With a background in paediatric nutrition and experience working with NDIS clients, I tailor every session to suit your child’s age, developmental stage, and unique needs. Whether we’re working on fussy eating, growth concerns, gut health or tube feeding transitions, you can expect a compassionate, family-centred approach that fits into your everyday life — not adds to the chaos.
​
​
Family-centred, child-led support — I’ll meet your child where they’re at and work with your family’s routines and values.
​
Simple, achievable strategies — No overwhelm, just clear guidance you can actually use at home.
​
NDIS-friendly — I see both self-managed and plan-managed clients and can provide reports, letters, and support to help meet your child’s NDIS goals.
​
Team collaboration — I love working alongside your child’s therapy team (speech, OT, psychology etc.) and am happy to join team meetings or provide regular updates where needed.
​
​​​
​​Whether you're after peace at the dinner table or help getting enough variety into your child’s day, I’m here to support you — no judgment, just practical help.

“We’d tried everything with my son’s fussy eating, but nothing worked until we found Josie. She was so kind, non-judgmental, and gave us strategies that actually worked (sometimes LOL). He's eating much better now, and we're very grateful!"
Belinda, Townsville
“As an NDIS parent, I’ve had trouble finding providers that take the time to see my daughter beyond her disability and listen to my concerns. Josie understood my daughter’s sensory needs right away and gave me a clear plan that we were able to give to her support workers as well. Can’t recommend her enough.”
Maya & Aaron, Gympie
"I was nervous about online consults, but home-visits weren't a possibility due to living regionally. Jos made us feel totally at ease. She’s a mum too, so I never felt judged :)"
