Help Your Child Eat More Variety Without Pressure
Personalised 1:1 nutrition support for fussy and selective eating from a Registered Children’s Nutritionist and SOS-trained Feeding Therapist
You don’t need more conflicting advice.
You need someone to look at your child, your routine, your mealtimes and show you what actually works.
✔ Feel confident in what you’re offering
✔ Stop cooking multiple meals
✔ Support your child to explore food at their own pace
✔ Bring calm back to the table
Whether It’s “Fussy Eating” Or Something More… It Still Feels Hard
And when nothing seems to work, you start wondering:
“Maybe this is just how they are”
“Maybe it’s just a phase”
“I’ve already tried everything anyway…”
But here’s what most advice misses:
Eating isn’t something children just do.
It’s something they learn.
And if a child doesn’t feel comfortable around food yet,
no amount of pressure, bribing, or “just try it” will fix that.
What You Actually Want Is Much Simpler
To cook one meal
To sit down together
To not dread what’s about to happen
To see your child:
Curious, comfortable and willing to explore foods
And to feel like:
“I know what I’m doing here.”
Are You Ready To Stop Cooking Multiple Meals Every Evening?
Let me support you with my 1:1 Nutrition Consultations that are designed to:
- Understand why your child is struggling with food
- Know exactly what to offer and how to offer it
- Stop relying on bribing or separate meals
- Support your child to explore food without pressure

Hi! I’m Penelope
I’m Penelope Henderson, MSc, RNutr, a Registered Children’s Nutritionist and SOS-trained Feeding Therapist specialising in fussy and selective eating
but I’m also a parent who’s been where you are.
Even with years of experience, I found myself facing food refusal, stress at the table, and questioning everything I thought I knew.
That experience completely changed how I support families.
Now, I combine professional expertise with real-life understanding, so you get support that is practical, realistic, and genuinely helpful.

✅ You’re tired of cooking multiple meals
✅ You feel unsure what the “right” approach is
✅ You want your child to explore more foods without pressure
✅ You’re ready for calmer, more enjoyable mealtimes
This Isn’t For You If…
- You’re looking for a quick fix or instant results
- You’re not open to changing how mealtimes currently work
- You want rigid rules rather than a flexible, child-led approach

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my child’s fussy eating needs professional support?
Fussy eating is common in childhood, but extra support may be helpful if your child’s range of foods is very limited or getting smaller, unfamiliar foods cause significant distress, mealtimes have become stressful, or you’re worried about whether they’re getting the nutrition they need.
My free clarity call gives us a chance to talk through what’s happening and whether 1:1 support would be appropriate for your family.
What happens during a 1:1 consultation?
Before we meet, I’ll gather information about your child’s eating, feeding history and current food repertoire so we can make the most of our time together.
During the consultation, we’ll explore what may be contributing to their eating difficulties, discuss any nutritional concerns and identify realistic priorities for your family. You’ll leave with clear, practical next steps tailored to your child.
What if my child refuses to try new foods?
That’s OK. Trying or eating a new food doesn’t always need to be the first goal.
For some children, being comfortable with a food nearby, touching it, smelling it or interacting with it can all be meaningful steps. We’ll start from where your child is now and gradually build their confidence with food without pressure, bribery or forcing them to eat.
How much support will I get between consultations?
You won’t be left to figure everything out on your own after our consultation. The level of ongoing support depends on the package you choose and may include follow-up appointments/email or messaging support and resources.
How is 1:1 support different from the fussy eating advice I can find online?
There’s lots of fussy eating advice online, but it can be difficult to know what’s right for your child.
My 1:1 support looks at the whole picture – including what your child eats, their feeding history, sensory preferences, eating skills, mealtime environment and any nutritional concerns. This helps us understand what may be behind their eating rather than simply giving you another list of strategies to try.
I then give you practical, personalised steps for your family, using responsive feeding and SOS-informed principles.
What results can I expect, and how long might it take?
Every child is different, so there isn’t a set timeframe or a guarantee that a child will eat particular foods.
Some families notice changes around mealtimes quite quickly, while children with a very limited range of foods, sensory differences or a longer history of feeding difficulties may need more time.
Progress isn’t only about eating new foods. It might start with becoming more comfortable around food, tolerating an unfamiliar food nearby, interacting with it or gradually taking steps towards tasting it. The aim is steady, pressure-free progress at your child’s pace.
What age children do you work with?
I work with children from 6 mths, tailoring my approach to their age, stage of development and individual feeding needs.
How do I know which package is right for my family?
You don’t need to work this out before getting in touch.
During your free clarity call, we can briefly discuss what’s happening with your child, what you’d like support with and how much input you’re likely to need. I can then recommend the most appropriate option for your family.
There’s no obligation to book after the call.
