KNDI Licensed Clinical Nutritionist · Autism Feeding Specialist · Autism Mum
Gentle, evidence-based feeding and nutrition support that helps families understand why eating feels difficult and build practical strategies that work in real life.
Clinical expertise. Lived experience. Gentle, practical support.
I don’t start by asking: “What should this child eat?”
I start by asking: “Why is eating difficult in the first place?”
Because when we understand the why, we can create gentle, practical strategies that support real, lasting progress.
Step One
Discover why eating feels difficult for your child — including sensory needs, feeding skills, routines, predictability, and nutritional concerns.
Step Two
Reduce pressure, create safety around food, and build confidence using practical strategies that fit your family.
Step Three
Gently increase food acceptance, variety, and mealtime confidence through small, consistent steps.
Because feeding progress starts with understanding, not pressure.
Most children do not move from refusing a food to eating it overnight. Progress often looks like:
Every small step matters — because feeling safe around food often comes before eating it.
I am a KNDI Licensed Clinical Nutritionist and Autism Feeding Specialist who helps families navigate selective eating, sensory feeding challenges, limited food variety, and mealtime stress.
My approach combines evidence-based nutrition care with the lived experience of raising an autistic child. I understand both the science of feeding difficulties and the realities families face every day.
I believe meaningful progress happens when we first understand why eating is difficult and then build gentle, practical strategies that work in real life.
Licensed by the Kenya Nutritionists and Dieticians Institute (KNDI).
When my daughter was diagnosed with autism at three years old, feeding became one of our biggest challenges.
Even with my professional training in nutrition, I quickly realized that textbook advice does not always match what families face at home.
That experience changed how I support families today.
I bring together clinical knowledge, lived experience, and practical strategies that respect both the child and the parent.
Professional training taught me the science of nutrition. Motherhood taught me how to apply it with patience, flexibility, and compassion.
For families looking to better understand their child’s nutrition, food intake, and feeding challenges.

What we cover
Many of the families I support come to me feeling overwhelmed, worried, and unsure where to start.
Thoughts parents often share
I feel like all I think about is food and whether my child is getting enough nutrients.
Every mealtime feels stressful and I don't know what else to try anymore.
I've tried so many things and still feel like I'm getting it wrong.
If any of these thoughts sound familiar, you’re not alone. Feeding challenges in autism are often more complex than simply encouraging a child to eat. There are often real reasons eating feels difficult. And when we understand those reasons, we can begin to move forward with more confidence, less stress, and gentle, practical strategies that work in real life.
