Does the thought of eating out on holiday fill you with dread?

If your child has picky eating, sensory sensitivities, or only eats a small handful of safe foods, family holidays can feel more stressful than relaxing. New environments, different restaurants, unfamiliar foods. It’s a lot.

I’ve been there. And I’ve helped a lot of families navigate it too.

That’s why I’m running a live online workshop:
🌿 Picky Eating on Holiday
📅 Wednesday 8 July · 7:30–8:30pm BST
💻 Online — join from anywhere in the UK

In just one hour, I’ll walk you through:
☀️Why holidays are particularly hard for picky eaters (and what’s actually happening)
☀️Practical strategies to prepare your child before you travel
☀️How to handle unfamiliar menus, restaurants, and food environments
☀️What to pack, what to say, and how to keep mealtimes calm

Small group. Live Q&A. Practical takeaways you can use straight away.

End the session feeling calmer about your holiday, with a plan so you can enjoy family time 🙌

So excited to have my copy of Toddle About, South Bucks in hand 🙌 My advert is in there, alongside so many amazing local businesses supporting parents through the toddler years 🤍

I’ve already spotted a recipe I’ll be trying with my children, Cheese & Carrot Stars 🧀🥕

If you’d like a copy, I’ve got some available at my New Beginnings Postnatal Group ✨
And a little throwback… when my children were younger, the “Daily Activity Planner” was a lifesaver, I would have been lost without it!

As many of you know, I run introducing solids workshops, but I’m getting more and more enquiries about the toddler food refusal phase (which is so common, and can feel really stressful).

I’m currently putting together a new workshop to support you through it, sharing simple, realistic strategies to make mealtimes feel calmer again… from what to say, to how to respond, to helping your child feel confident trying new foods 🍽️

I’ll be running some evening webinars and I’m also happy to come and chat at local toddler groups 💛

If this is something you’d love support with, pop a ❤️ in the comments and I’ll be in touch ✨.

✨ New School Food Standards – A Positive Step Forward ✨

There’s been an exciting update to the UK School Food Standards, the first in over a decade and it’s great news for our children 🙌

The new guidance focuses on making school meals healthier, more balanced and more consistent across all schools. We’ll be seeing more fruit, vegetables and wholegrains, alongside a reduction in foods high in fat, salt and sugar. Deep-fried foods will be limited, sugary desserts reduced, and healthier choices will become the norm rather than the exception.

Importantly, these standards now include breakfast as well as lunch. A nutritious start to the day can make such a difference, and I’m really pleased to see this included. I look forward to seeing protein-packed, nourishing breakfasts that help children feel fuller for longer, supporting focus, learning and emotional regulation throughout the morning.

Good nutrition is essential for children to grow, learn and thrive. When children are well nourished, we often see improvements not just in energy and concentration, but also in behaviour and overall wellbeing. This is definitely a positive step forward 👏

That said, it’s important we don’t overlook children with sensory sensitivities or feeding challenges. For some, particularly those who struggle with textures (mixed foods, lumps, or certain consistencies), or who rely on familiar “safe” foods, these changes may feel overwhelming. In some cases, this can be linked to food phobia or highly selective eating.

Schools will need the right support and guidance to ensure these children are included, with flexibility around texture, presentation and food choices. Every child deserves to benefit from these improvements in a way that feels safe and manageable for them too 💛

Overall, a really positive move towards supporting healthier futures for our children 🌱

Neurodiversity Celebration Week 💛

A reminder that different minds bring different strengths and that includes in the way we support others.

Being neurodivergent shapes how I work in my clinic every day:
✨ Deep passion and determination
✨ Creative problem-solving
✨ Thinking outside the box
✨ Truly understanding sensory and mealtime challenges
✨ Keeping things simple, flexible and achievable for families

I know how overwhelming things can feel, especially when you’re worried about your child’s eating, symptoms, or daily struggles.

That’s why I focus on:
✔️ Root causes, not quick fixes
✔️ Bite-sized, realistic steps
✔️ Adapting support to each family
✔️ Celebrating every single win (big or small!)

Because progress doesn’t come from pressure, it comes from feeling supported.

Here’s to celebrating neurodiversity, in all its forms 💫

Did you notice how I struggled to walk and talk. 😂
