Hi, I’m Carine!

Registered Dietitian & Paediatric Nutrition Specialist

I work holistically with a child-centred understanding of how the body works. My therapeutic dietetic work involves a depthful understanding of food, feeding and nutrition as it relates to the gastrointestinal tract, the immune and nervous system. I bring additional focus to the relationship with food through sensory experience and learning, the development of the gut microbiota and the relevance of the gut-brain axis. My context is always through a nutritional lens, and A varied working life in Paediatric Nutrition for over 30 years, I continue to connect with a range of health professionals working with children across East Anglia. In Food Allergy and Gastroenterology, Neurodiversity and with Psychotherapy, Yoga, Art and Mindful tools. I contribute to supervision and multidisciplinary team working in key areas, with NHS and independent colleagues; as well as regular Dietetic appraisal with an approved Supervisor.

Early Life Nutrition

Origins of life-long health are influenced very early in life, and this journey begins in pregnancy. Related to birthing and choices around infant feeding, an enormous body of evidence supports natural birth and feeding at the breast wherever possible. Thereafter, meeting nutritional needs with diet diversity is the single most important nutritional indicator for life-long health.

Building Good Food Relationships

Direct sensory experience, associated learning about food, eating and feeding, the social and emotional context, as well as the inherited and familial aspects of food behaviour, is a recipe requiring attentive preparation and gentle cooking. A beginning which supports children to grow and develop their life-long relationship with food

Life Long Health

Early food, feeding and nutrition represent important first steps in regulation. This experience creates a vast and unconscious blueprint of memory and learning. A diverse diet provides the building blocks for the whole body as well as the intelligent systems of the brain, gut and immune system. Meeting nutritional needs throughout childhood and nourishing a diverse gut microbiota creates the foundation for life-long physical health.
