Hi, I'm Dorothea
Children's Nutritionist helping overwhelmed mums overcome toddler fussy eating and enjoy calm, pressure-free family mealtimes
You're In The Right Place If...
Mealtimes feel like a daily battle
You dread dinner time because of the stress, tantrums, and constant anxiety around food.
They used to eat everything but now they refuse it
You keep thinking “What changed? What did I do wrong?”.
You’re cooking separate meals every night
You’re exhausted making one meal for the family and another for your toddler.
You worry they're not eating enough
You find yourself begging or negotiating for “Just one more bite.”
You’re tired. You’re frustrated. And you just want mealtimes to feel calm again.
You’re not alone and it doesn’t have to stay this way.
With The Right Support, You Can Have...
Calm, relaxed family mealtimes
You sit down to eat without stress, pressure or battles.
A toddler who explores new foods
They feel confident trying and enjoying a wider variety of meals.
One meal for the whole family
No more cooking separate dinners every night.
Confidence and peace of mind
You trust your child is getting the nutrition they need.
You trust that your child is learning to eat well — without forcing or bribing.
This is what Fuss-Free Feeding is designed to create.
My Story
As a toddler mum myself, I know how quickly mealtimes can shift from enjoyable to overwhelming.
One week they’re eating everything. The next, they’re refusing foods they once loved. You question yourself. You worry. You try everything — from offering alternatives to negotiating bites — just to ease that anxiety.
I’ve seen how much guilt and pressure mums carry around feeding.
And I also know that most parents aren’t looking for perfection — they’re looking for calm.
That’s why I specialise in toddler fussy eating and family mealtimes. Not quick fixes. Not rigid plans. But realistic, evidence-based strategies that work in real homes with real children.
MY APPROACH
My Fuss-Free Feeding approach focuses on:
✔ Pressure-free food exposure
✔ Simple, structured mealtime routines
✔ One meal for the whole family
✔ Sensory-aware strategies
✔ Building parental confidence
✔ Reducing stress and food battles
I don’t believe in forcing bites, bribing with dessert, or turning food into a power struggle.
Instead, I help you understand what’s developmentally normal, support your child through it, and create consistent habits that expand their food range naturally over time.
Because when parents feel calm and confident, children do too.
MY CREDENTIALS
Alongside my personal experience as a mum, I bring professional expertise to the table.
I am a Registered Associate Nutritionist (AFN) with a First-Class BSc in Human Nutrition and I am currently completing my BSc in Dietetics.
I have worked as a dietetic assistant within clinical settings and use evidence-based, research-informed guidance in everything I teach.
I support everyday picky eating and mealtime stress in toddlers and preschoolers.
(If your child has complex medical needs or ARFID, specialist clinical support may be more appropriate.)
BEYOND NUTRITION
At home, I care deeply about simple, nourishing family meals — the kind that bring everyone to the table together.
I believe food should feel enjoyable, not stressful. Shared, not separated. Calm, not chaotic.
And I believe mums deserve support, not judgment.
