Initial Nutrition & Feeding Asssement

75-Minute Nutrition Consultation

Online: S$285; Home Visit: S$340

​

This assessment is our starting point and the foundation for all the work we do together. It helps us begin to understand your child or teenager's nutritional needs, their relationship with food, and the many factors shaping their eating - whether that's sensory differences, appetite changes, body image concerns, growth demands or high training loads.

​

What We Cover

During this session, we explore:

​

1. Nutrition & Growth

• Growth history and patterns

• Nutrient intake and adequacy

• Sport and/or exercise demands

​

2. Eating Behaviours & Daily Food Experiences

• Mealtime schedules and routines

• Sensory preferences

• Stress, anxiety, or avoidance around food and mealtimes

• Compensatory behaviours, body image distress

​​

3. Medical & Developmental Background

• Relevant medical history

• Medication, allergies, and conditions that may affect feeding

• Neurodivergence, emotional regulation, and executive functioning

• Training schedules and performance demands (for athletes)

​

4. Your Concerns, Goals & Capacity

• What feels worrying, stressful, or exhausting

• What you’ve already tried

• Your family’s values, routines, and available capacity right now

​

This session meets your family where you are—whether you're navigating sensory feeding challenges, food refusal, early disordered eating patterns, or the demands of a growing athlete.

​​

​

What You Will Leave With

• Better understanding of what’s contributing to your child or teen's current eating patterns

• 2-3 personalised strategies you can begin to implement

• Written summary of the session (sent 3 work days after the consultation)

• Guidance on next steps that match your child’s needs and your family’s capacity

• Reassurance and direction so you no longer feel like you are figuring this out alone

​​

​

Who This Session Is For

This assessment is aimed at families needing support with:

• General nutrition and menu planning

• Selective or “fussy” eating (including Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, i.e. ARFID or sensory-based eating differences)

• Neurodivergent children and teens, e.g. ADHD and Autism

• Youth athletes with high training volumes

• Gastrointestinal concerns

• Food allergies or intolerances, including Celiac Disease.

• Concern around growth or weight (through a weight-inclusive lens)

• Early intervention of body image distress or increasing food anxiety

• Outpatient eating disorder nutrition support

• Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward with nutrition

​​

For younger children (<12), I generally work directly with parents/caregivers.
Older children and teenagers may join part or all of the session, depending on appropriateness and the level of support required.

​

If You Need to Discuss More Than One Child

Some families want to explore nutrition or eating concerns for two siblings, for example, a 'picky' eater and a teen athlete.

An extended assessment is available; please contact me directly to arrange it.

​

After the Assessment

You will be guided through the most appropriate next steps, such as:

• What ongoing support can look like (ad hoc follow-ups vs follow-up packages)

• Referral to other health practitioners, e.g. occupational therapists, psychologists, paediatricians, and/or further medical tests if appropriate.​

You don’t have to decide anything alone — I’ll help you navigate what comes next.
