Hi, I’m Miriam, Founder of Child Nutrition

I have been working as a dietitian since 2004 and exclusively in Paediatric Nutrition since 2007. I have been privileged to work in children’s hospitals in Melbourne and London. After returning from the UK in 2009, I established Child Nutrition with the vision of providing an expert dietetic service for children and their families.

I am passionate about improving children’s health through good nutrition. I love working with families from all walks of life to help them achieve optimal nutrition for their families taking into account all circumstances relevant to each and every household.
