Meet Rosanne

I still find it quite comical that I ended up specializing in pediatric nutrition.

I can vividly remember training for my first full-time position in the neurology department at McMaster Children’s Hospital when I found out that the role included caring for infants, not just older children as I had expected. “I don’t do babies” is what I said to the dietitian. She laughed at me, “you’re in for a long year” she said.

Long story short, those little ones grew on me and I ended up having two of my own.
But having babies wasn’t as blissful as the Pampers commercials make it out to be. I didn’t find myself in mum and baby yoga or stroller fit. I found myself at home with a great deal of exhaustion, anxiety and depression, which I have shared about here before.

Becoming a parent is life changing; it’s the toughest job I have ever landed. It’s the only place where mind-blowing love and endless joy for a little human being exist simultaneously with utter exhaustion and frustration.

One of the places of exasperation for parents may be around eating. What is made out to be a natural and intuitive process for all children can be anything but. I think it’s a blessing in disguise that I have both an adventurous eater and “learning eater” at home. I can truly relate on both levels!

My greatest joy comes from working alongside parents, to support them in all areas related to feeding their children. I love to take the evidence on a topic and distill it into easy to understand bite-sized pieces, then provide concrete, realistic and sustainable strategies to create a happier mealtime environment. The ultimate goal? To decrease the stress level in the home. Because who needs more stress?!

Most importantly, I promise to see your child for who they are, not labelled by their condition or struggles with food. I promise to celebrate the tiny successes along the way, because finding glimmers of hope IN the journey is where the true joy is found.

We’ve got this together!
