Private Consultation Package
I offer private consultations that are tailored to your family’s specific needs and circumstances, so that you receive bespoke and individualised nutrition advice to meet your child’s unique nutritional requirements. I offer all my consultations online so that you can speak to me in the comfort of your own home at a time convenient to you.
How I can help you and your plant-based family:
- Breastfeeding and formula feeding advice
- Introducing solids to your baby
- Specific nutrients (eg. calcium, iron, vitamin B12, iodine)
- Growth concerns
- Fussy eating
- Meal planning
- Supplements – what your child might need and specific brands/dosages
Perhaps you have been feeling:
- Confused, overwhelmed or anxious about raising a plant-based eater?
- Worried they may not be “getting enough” of certain nutrients?
- Unsure if or what supplements your plant-based eater may need?
- Stressed out about the thought of relentless meal planning?
I get it, I’ve been there!
Four years ago, at the age 10, my youngest daughter Maddie came to me and said she’d like to be vegetarian. Of course I supported her, but I also secretly felt anxious and unsure about it, despite being a children’s dietitian with 20 years experience at the time!
I started reading and researching all that I could about plant-based nutrition for children and discovered that there really wasn’t much in the way of practical support and advice available for families. I decided then and there that I was going to make it my mission to change that and Plant Based Kids was born.
I’m Paula, children’s dietitian, mum to two girls, author and plant based nutrition expert. I have 25 years experience as a children’s dietitian, working in the NHS for 18 years in a variety of roles, food allergy research, consulting to charities and providing expert nutrition advice to baby food brands.
I am here to provide bespoke and individualised nutrition advice and support to your plant powered family… book a FREE 15 minute call with me today to learn how I can help you and your family.
About the consultations
- What is included in the consultation package and how much does it cost?
The one-to-one consultation package includes a 60 minute initial online consultation (assessment, advice and written report/plan), 2 weeks email support and a 30 minute follow up online consultation. It costs £225. - What happens before a consultation?
Before the consultation, I will ask you to complete a few forms for me so that I can obtain all the relevant background/medical information about your child as well as their current growth (weight/height) and previous growth trend (growth chart). I will also ask you to complete a food diary, detailing all the foods and drinks that your baby/child currently consumes as well as details such as vitamin / mineral supplements. - What happens during a consultation?
During the consultation we will talk about your baby/child, so that I can clarify and confirm details about their medical history and growth in order to complete an accurate nutritional assessment. I will offer you advice about your child’s current nutritional intake and growth and how to optimise their nutritional intake for their health and wellbeing, taking into account any family circumstances, such as food preferences or food allergies for example. - What happens after the consultation?
After our consultation, I will provide a detailed written nutrition report about your child summarising the consultation and including a nutrition plan for implementing the advice provided and moving forwards. 2 follow up emails are also included in the initial consultation.
Here’s what other parents have said about me:
My experience with Paula has been incredible! She not only helped our baby girl, she has helped me be calm, understand how to navigate potential allergies when weaning and to feel empowered. Her gentle approach, understanding nature and helpful guidance is genuine, and exactly what’s needed if you are worried about your child. If you need help with anything related to your child’s nutritional needs, she’s the professional to help you!
I originally met with Paula when my son was diagnosed with multiple allergies. She was so helpful with helping me understand how to meet his nutritional needs and how to ensure the right balance of vitamins etc. I loved Paula’s warm manner with which she carries out her appointments that I went straight back to her when I needed some guidance for my daughter a couple of years later. Having children with allergies, regardless of how severe, can be quite daunting and I couldn’t recommended Paula in helping to ease this and give enough tools to set me on my way!
Paula is a great help with my plant based baby’s nutrition. She has so much knowledge and shares it generously. I can’t recommend her enough!
Paula is very friendly, has lots of practical advice that you can use straight away and has a wealth of knowledge. After our chat with Paula I changed the milk alternative products I was using for my baby and now have a long term plan of how I can keep his calcium (and iodine) levels up once I wean him off breast milk and formula. I am now much more confident that although my baby can’t have certain foods he is not missing out nutritionally
I cannot recommend Paula highly enough. Her expertise and personalized care made a real difference for me and my family. I reached out to her regarding my one-year-old, who follows a vegan diet and can be quite a fussy eater at times. Initially, I was worried if he was getting all the necessary nutrients he needs, but Paula's expertise and guidance have given me the confidence. She is extremely knowledgeable, super friendly, and easy to talk to. I had a one-on-one session with her and also participated in her course. I can absolutely recommend both and will definitely seek her advice again in the future.
