No cook* meal prep 🥦

Technically I had to cook the rice, but when you use a rice cooker or microwave rice the cooking is negligible!

Rice, ready to eat protein (flavoured tofu here), frozen veg, soy sauce and sesame oil. Just microwave it when it’s time to eat. Would this taste better if I stir-fried it? Probably. Do I want to cook? No.

ADHD and vegan friendly!

Example of “just feed them what you’re eating”.
Meals for a 7m old and 3y old adapted by feeding skill/preference 🍚
Today we had leftover rice so I turned that into sushi bowls for lunch with some shredded chicken made in the Thermomix. My son prefers cucumber cut into sticks (he ate most of his while I was cutting it up 😆) and likes baby spinach but not the more bitter leafy greens. We follow baby led weaning and so for my daughter have cut the cucumber into the recommended shape to have with her rice and chicken (with a little chopped up greens mixed in).

Disclaimer that my kids have been raised by a feeding therapist and don’t have ARFID or other feeding differences so what they will eat might look different to what your child eats. Lunch is often 2 minute noodles or baked beans on toast here, today we are having a quiet day at home and so I had extra capacity for a more nutritious lunch.

What to expect in my clinic room at Parks Medical Centre.

I’ve recently introduced fidgets into the room for anyone to use (cleaned regularly). There is a seat for yourself and a support person, we can bring more chairs in if needed. If you can’t deal with fluorescent lights we can turn the big light off and use the lovely natural light from the window ☀️

I hope to put a few nice decorations and posters up to make the room a bit more inviting but my executive function is not letting me action that right now 😅 One day inspiration will strike (hopefully 🫣).

NDIS is making cuts everywhere, and Autistic people are being particularly impacted. At this stage dietitians are not listed as part of the “Thriving Kids” program despite the need. Dietitian’s Australia and individual dietitians are out there advocating for adequate dietetic support for people with disabilities in the future but what are your options now?

Several care plans are available through your GP depending on your concern. There are gap payments (sorry, I need to eat too 😅) for these services so I thought I would outline what that looks like for those looking for non NDIS options.

Of course there is also private health, but I rarely see a higher rebate than the Medicare one.

Hello! I’m officially back from parental leave! I have a couple appointments left in April and plenty in May. Looking forward to seeing you all 🧡

27/03/2026

My books are now open! I have contacted everyone on my waitlist so if you can’t find your email please check your spam and/or send me an email.

I will likely reach full capacity though a combination of previous and new clients fairly soon so if you need some motivation to actually book your initial appointment in there it is!
