About Me

IMG_0531.JPG

Hi I'm Kirsty, a Dietitian with over 20 years experience in research, private practice and community health.  I have spent a number of years helping individuals improve their health with lifestyle changes.

Now as a mama of two young daughters and a son,  I recognise the importance of supporting mamas and caregivers raising healthy and happy families.  

I deliver cooking classes to all age groups and abilities to enhance food exposure, food modelling, basic cooking skills and most importantly to have fun.  These classes are offered at my private cooking studio and at schools.

Please reach out, if you would like to chat about how I can support you and your family.

Much love​, Kirsty x

You want mealtimes to feel easier, not stressful

Feeding your child isn’t always as simple as “just offering healthy foods.” Maybe you’re dealing with picky eating, allergies, or food sensitivities.

 

Maybe you just want to create a positive relationship with food but aren’t sure how to get started. Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone.

 

So many parents and caregivers feel overwhelmed when it comes to food—wondering if their child is eating enough variety, getting the nutrients they need, or even just sitting down at the table without a battle. The good news?

 

You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Helping Your Child Build Confidence with Food

Food isn’t just about nutrition—it’s about connection, exploration, and skills that last a lifetime. When children get hands-on experience with food, they’re more likely to feel comfortable trying new things and developing a lifelong appreciation for nourishing meals.

Through my cooking classes, your child will gain:
✔️ Confidence in the kitchen
✔️ A sense of independence with food
✔️ Exposure to a variety of flavors in a no-pressure way
✔️ Positive food experiences that make mealtimes easier

 

Every child deserves to feel empowered when it comes to food. And every parent deserves the reassurance that they’re giving their child the best start in building healthy habits.

This Isn’t About Perfect Meals—It’s About Positive Food Experiences

If you’ve ever felt like you need to be the “perfect parent” when it comes to food, take a deep breath—you don’t. The goal isn’t perfectly balanced plates every day; it’s about creating a healthy, happy relationship with food that works for your family.

Through my cooking classes, children (and caregivers!) learn that food can be fun, flexible, and stress-free. Whether you’re here because you want support with allergies, confidence in the kitchen, or just an easier approach to mealtimes, know that you’re in the right place.

Let’s Make Food Fun—Together

If you’re ready to take the stress out of mealtimes and help your child build lifelong food confidence, I’d love to support you. My cooking classes are designed to meet you and your child where you are—whether in school, at home, or in my private cooking studio.

Let’s start this journey together. Send me a message, and let’s chat about how I can support you and your family.

 

Much love,


Kirsty x
