The Feeding Clinic

This new service offered to our patients is jointly led by a Dietitian
and Clinical Psychologist and aims to ease feeding and mealtime
issues.

An initial assessment will identify the problem areas and provide
parents with the tools to help their child feel confident about new and familiar foods. Recommended follow-up sessions may include a mealtime observation conducted at home, a fun ”food challenge” for the child, a child anxiety management session or participation in “Food Fun” sessions for children. 

All are aimed to take away the fear, stress and pressure often associated with mealtimes.
Ultimately we want to put some excitement, fun, discovery and enjoyment back into eating and food for the whole family! Our Feeding Clinic is aimed at parents and children aged from 2 years onwards.

For further details or to find out if this service would benefit your family and child, please call our clinic on: 6254 3714

Cooking Courses and Workshops – Coming soon!

Fussy and Faddy Eaters

A normal phase that children go through or something to be more concerned about?

This 2 hour presentation is for parents of children who are fussy or faddy eaters. Join Lead Dietitian, Karen Wright, and Clinical Psychologist, Shona Lowes, to understand more about fussy eaters and extreme food refusal in children and management strategies you can use at home.

Tuesday 25th May, 8 -10pm

Food Fun – 3 sessions for children

These sessions are conducted by both the Dietitian and Clinical Psychologist and focus on presenting different foods to children in a fun and relaxed way, using stories, games and activities involving food. During these sessions there is no pressure for the child to put food in their mouths or to eat; the main goal is to have fun with food.

Sessions may be with groups of children of a similar age and for younger children the sessions will be for children and parents together.

Saturday mornings 9-10am:  June 5th, 12th, and 19th 2010

Cooking for Food Allergies

Tuesday mornings 9-11.30am:  May 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th 2010.

Low GI Cooking

GI is short for Glycaemic Index. Research shows that eating foods with a low GI can have a number of benefits to your health.

 

 

  • Low GI diets are more effective at promoting weight loss than
    conventional weight loss diets
  • Eating a low GI diet can improve blood sugar control in people
    with diabetes and improve insulin sensitivity
  • Low GI diets can reduce blood levels of cholesterol
  • A low GI diet, along with lifestyle changes may also benefit those
    with Metabolic Syndrome X (a condition characterized by reduced
    insulin sensitivity, obesity, high blood pressure and abnormal blood fats)

This cooking course is recommended for anyone who follows or wishes to
follow a low GI diet for weight loss, diabetes, improved sports endurance or
to improve general health and well-being.
