My Story
With over 30 years as a Dietitian, I’ve dedicated my career to helping families improve their child’s health without guilt, frustration, or restrictive diets. As a mother of three, I know firsthand how hard it is to balance nutrition, busy schedules, and your child’s wellbeing in today’s world. For the past seven years specifically, I’ve specialised in childhood and adolescent obesity, working with families to create real, sustainable change.
My approach is practical and evidence-based, because small, consistent steps lead to lifelong health. If your child is above a healthy weight, you might feel frustrated, worried, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to tackle this situation alone.
I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise, education, and real-world experience to help families achieve lasting health transformations:

Are You Struggling to Help Your Child Build Healthier Habits?
Many parents want to help their child build healthier habits, but nothing seems to work.
Maybe you’ve…
Tried encouraging healthier eating
Read every article. But still not sure what to do.
Signed them up for sports
But they lose interest or feel left behind.
Limited screen time
But enforcing it feels like a constant fight.
Felt judged
By doctors, family, or other parents, leaving you feeling stuck.
Wanted to support your child
But without conflict, stress, or guilt.
This Is Exactly Why I Started
Healthy Kids Happen
I created Healthy Kids Happen because parents need real, practical solutions.
Unlike programs that focus only on weight loss, I help families build long-term habits that improve your child’s health, confidence, and happiness, without making food or exercise a constant struggle.
