Hi, am Alicia Du Preez

If you’re here, chances are you’ve got a little one who’s giving you a bit of a nutrition-related headache—whether it’s picky eating, growth concerns, allergies, or just general “I-don’t-want-to-eat-that” chaos. I see you, and I’ve got you!

I’m a Registered Dietitian, proudly registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the British Dietetic Association (BDA). I hold a BSc Honours in Dietetics from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and I’m an active member of a paediatric workgroup dedicated to keeping up with the latest evidence-based practices (because trust me, nutrition science never sits still!).

Why I Do What I Do

Watching your child struggle with food—whether it’s faltering growth, allergies, fussy eating, or body confidence issues—can feel overwhelming. And with a million conflicting opinions online, it’s no wonder parents feel stuck. That’s where I step in!
I take a holistic, no-judgment, and totally tailored approach to every child. No cookie-cutter plans here—just practical, evidence-based strategies that work for YOUR child, YOUR family, and YOUR lifestyle. My goal? To help you feel empowered, confident, and stress-free when it comes to your child’s nutrition.

What Working With Me Looks Like

Think of our sessions as deep-dive chats (but with science-backed strategies, not just a justified mommy vent!). We’ll go through your child’s health, medical history, and eating habits, pinpoint what’s really going on, and craft a realistic action plan. You’ll walk away with clarity, a strategy, and the confidence to handle whatever food curveballs come your way. Oh, and I’m all about making nutrition practical, doable, and (dare I say) fun! Because no one needs more stress at mealtimes, right?

Qualifications (a.k.a. The Credentials That Back Up The Chat)

• BSc Honours in Dietetics
• BDA Module: Nutrition & Dietetics in Common Paediatric Disorders
• Certified in Breastfeeding & Lactation Support

Let’s make mealtimes a little less stressful and a lot more nourishing—for your child and for YOU. I can’t wait to support your family!
