In 2008 she began specialising in Paediatrics and gained valuable experience working with multidisciplinary teams.

Throughout her career, she has worked closely with dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and doctors to assess and treat patients, providing comprehensive care. Over the past 25 years, she has treated and worked with many babies, infants, children, teenagers and their families.  

Her clincial expertise is supported by advanced training in several areas, including the Sequential Oral Sensory (SOS) approach, Supporting Oral Feeding in Fragile Infants (SOFFI), Talktools, a sensory motor approach to feeding and numerous advanced Dysphagia (Swallowing) training courses.

Beyond her clinical training, her professional dedication is informed by her personal experience as a mother of three. Having supported one of her daughters through a feeding aversion as an infant, she understands the significant stress and anxiety these challenges place on a family.

She is passionate about supporting children and their families by navigating feeding issues through a holistic and empathetic approach.
