I see people introduce themselves on here quite a bit and I always enjoy reading those posts, so here’s me!
I’m Ciara and I’m nearly 44 years old (November birthday, classic extroverted Sagittarius, don’t hold it against me!). I’ve been a dietitian for almost 17 years and I’ve always focused on children and families in my work. Before I became a dietitian I studied to become an opera singer! I love to sing 😊
I am a solo mum to two little girls, aged 5 and 2. Experiencing the feeding journey for myself has been incredibly educational. My oldest is quite a selective eater and has clear sensory sensitivities. My youngest was very slow to warm to food and still won’t really eat at daycare but at home will request bowls of Kalamata olives and capers! Go figure 🤷♀️
I love to work with lots of different kinds of patients (especially those fussy eaters!), and I’m always so grateful to the parents that take a chance and decide to work with me to improve their child’s mealtime experiences and their nutrition. I focus on building trust and safety in the feeding relationship and helping everyone stand down from battle positions at mealtime.
If you’re interested in coming to see me, I’m in clinic on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I have space for a few new clients. You can call our wonderful admin assistant Anna on 0408 987 427 to book in.
