Hills Allergy and Specialists Clinic

Paediatric and Allergy Dietitian

Wendy is available to do face to face as well telehealth consultation. She provides a comprehensive dietary and nutritional assessment and provides an individualised nutrition plan, evidence based dietary information, and recipes.

Wendy has an extensive knowledge of cooking and meal planning, which is especially helpful for families managing their child’s food allergies or difficult eating behaviours, without compromising their nutrition. She also helps with the family mealtime dynamics, meal planning for the whole family and minimising any stress around mealtimes.

An initial assessment is 1 hour with follow up appointments of 30-60 minutes as required. An initial log consultation of 1.5 hours may be required for feeding difficulties, including observation of your child’s feeding or complex allergic conditions, such as eosinophilic oesophagitis.
