Hello, thanks for dropping in. ... I’m Carine, a warm, friendly and experienced children's dietitian helping you and your family feel their best. With over 30 years of working with children, I know that every child is unique, each with their own gift! Food is so much more than just fuel! Our bodies are made from our food, and our food, as well as the nutrition it contains, is our medicine. That’s why I offer tailored functional nutrition guidance to families, addressing nutritional needs for each developmental stage in the feeding journey. Helping shape positive feeding experience, with real food, and address challenges and healing along the way. I bring a caring, child-centred and holistic approach, weaving in sensory learning, mindful tools, food play, recipe adaption and cooking. Appointments are available in-person or online from my child-friendly clinic at the Beechwood Complementary Medical Practice, Hills Road, Cambridge. I'd love to hear from you, go ahead and book your no-obligation free chat with me now ... I’d love to help!

We were unable to access a paediatric dietitian on the NHS or the eating disorder service and Carine was recommended by a friend. She was genuinely sensitive and helpful in her assessment and practical meal planning. Seeing Carine has made all the difference for my daughter, and the quick and easy access to her services made it all less stressful.
Carine is very approachable, responds quickly to queries and soon becomes a friend. She knows how teenagers tick and when to stop giving them advice. We were very lucky to meet Carine on our journey with disordered thoughts on eating and know she can help many others with all her sensible, practical advice.
You were incredibly supportive of us to as parents. It was so reassuring to talk to someone who was non-judgmental, understanding and really focused on our child. What I really liked was that you didn't just address the physical issues, but supported us fully on the psychological as well - you gave holistic, practical and helpful advice on our daughter’s constipation. I now feel like she is feeling empowered to go to the toilet on her own, and we are well on track and so thank you!
My baby had some allergic reactions after eating, and I was terrified to continue weaning. Carine investigated his history in depth and incorporated her extensive knowledge of child food allergies to make a plan with me and to provide helpful referrals and resources. Ever since making contact with her, I’ve felt completely supported. My son is doing great, and I’m immensely grateful for everything she’s done for us!
We've seen Carine on a regular basis to guide us through the weaning process and advise on infant nutrition. She's extremely knowledgeable, personable and offers very practical advice. With so much conflicting information about weaning and infant feeding, it's been really useful for us to receive expert and personalised advice when we've needed it.
You were the first person who listened and actually observed our son's feeding behaviour. You helped us with a swift diagnosis of delayed Cow's Milk Allergy and your logical approach put things in perspective for us at a time when we really needed it.
We booked an appointment with Carine when baby daughter refused to eat and started to lose weight. We were pretty anxious during our first visit but Carine immediately put us at ease. She was incredibly insightful and straightaway hit on what we now know to be the nub of the problem. Within a few days of our first appointment our daughter started to eat again and now, several months down the line, has a much better relationship with food. Carine is incredibly knowledgeable, practical and clearly loves her job. We can’t recommend her enough!
Looking back at our first appointment with Carine, it's clear that this was the turning point in resolving our son's feeding difficulties and her advice has shaped the care he then received from our local NHS services. For this we will always be so grateful.
