Surrey based clinic offering nutrition & functional medicine to improve your child or teenagers health

I offer nutritional therapy consultations, taking a functional medicine approach, for children and teens in person in Surrey or from further afield via zoom appointments.


Children and teenagers can often respond very quickly to nutritional therapy and improvements to their symptoms and overall health can often be seen within a few weeks. Whilst I can advise on a healthy diet generally, providing lots of practical ideas for improving a child's nutrient intake, nutritional therapy & functional medicine can also help specific health conditions and concerns:

• Digestive problems (Diarrhoea, constipation, tummy aches, bloating)
• Frequent illness (colds, ear infections, tonsillitis, tummy bugs)
• Behavioural problems (Angry outbursts, ADHD, ADD, Autism)
• Food allergies and intolerances (established or suspected)
• Skin conditions (Eczema, rash, hives, dry skin, spots & acne)
• Weight gain or loss (including growth failure)
• Immunity (Allergies, asthma, hayfever)
• Hormonal Issues in teenagers (Period pains and irregularity)
• Vegan or vegetarian diets for young people
• Coeliac & gluten free diets
• Fussy or picky eaters
• Poor energy levels & fatigue
• Iron deficiency & anaemia​
• Dieting concerns
• Dental Health
• Nutritional Supplementation for children

Children's nutritional consultation charge: £150 for 1 hour / £95 for 40 mins

    *Facts on a growing child's dietary requirements:     

• Vitamin & mineral deficiencies of B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and iron are common in children, especially teenagers.
• A two year old needs 800mg of calcium each day.
• Calories from fat (primarily healthy fats) should provide about a third of a child's energy intake.
• Poor appetite can sometimes be related to mineral deficiencies.
• Children with deficiencies of omega 3 & 6 fats and some minerals are more likely to have behavioural problems such as ADHD.
