Emma Robinson

With over 10 years experience in dietetics, and over 8 years in paediatrics, Emma has worked in various areas of dietetics, eventually finding her passion and niche in the area of paediatrics. Specifically, Emma is a strong advocate for enhancing early nutrition experiences, which is underpinned by a passion for nutrition in the first 1000 days of life. Emma likes to work in a family centred manner, and includes both the client and their family in individualised goals, focusing on the environment in which food is presented, just as much as the food itself. Trained in both Ellyn Satter feeding principles, and SOS feeding therapy, Emma uses a responsive feeding philosophy when helping clients and their families maximise nutritional intake, and develop a healthy, positive relationship with food from early childhood. Emma is a credentialed eating disorder dietitian, preferring to work in this space with clients who experience ARFID, and paediatric feeding disorders.
