If mealtimes feel like a constant battle, or you’re worried about your child’s eating, growth, or relationship with food, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it alone, either.
At Eat Love Live, we provide specialised paediatric dietetic care for children and adolescents aged 2 and up. Whether it’s fussy eating, ARFID, food refusal, or feeding differences related to neurodivergence or chronic illness, our approach is gentle, practical, and affirming — for the whole family.
A Different Kind of Dietetic Support
Our paediatric dietitians offers neuro-affirming, gender-affirming, and weight-inclusive care, with a focus on creating small, achievable changes that help children feel safe and confident around food.
We understand that every child is different — and so are their feeding needs, preferences, and challenges. That’s why we take a whole-child approach, focusing not just on nutrition, but also on emotional well-being, sensory needs, identity, and family dynamics.
Common Reasons Families Seek Support
We work with children and teens experiencing a wide range of feeding and nutrition challenges, including:
-
Fussy or selective eating

Food refusal or limited accepted foods

Sensory sensitivities and texture aversions

Feeding challenges related to Autism, ADHD, or developmental disabilities

How We Work With Families
Our support is centred around building trust, reducing stress, and helping families move toward more peaceful mealtimes. This may include:
-
Feeding therapy and safe food exploration
-
Nutrition guidance that respects sensory and emotional needs
-
Mealtime routines that work in your household
-
Support with medical nutrition, including supplements
-
Empowering parents and caregivers with tools and confidence
-
Education for schools, support workers, and extended care teams
We don’t believe in “fixing” kids or forcing foods. Instead, we focus on creating positive food experiences that help your child build confidence, connection, and curiosity — in their own way and at their own pace.
Our Core Values
At Eat Love Live, our work is guided by a compassionate, evidence-informed philosophy:
-
Neuro-affirming care: Respecting and working with the way your child’s brain works
-
Gender-affirming care: Supporting young people in bodies that reflect their identity
-
Weight-inclusive care: Focusing on health, nourishment, and quality of life — not weight
-
Holistic care: Looking at the whole child — their body, brain, environment, and story
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
