Kirsty worked with me to tailor a 3 week workshop on nutrition for a group of Mums and their toddlers. She created the sessions based around needs and interests of the group as well as adapting activities to suit the age of the children there. During the sessions, Kirsty provided information and advice to the mums through an informal, non-judgmental and welcoming manner, which helped to open up some great follow up conversations with the Mums around individual nutrition habits, fussy eating and family lifestyles around eating. As well as this, the practical 'play and explore' style of activities invited the toddlers to investigate new foods and create fun through touch, smell and taste, whilst giving families ideas around introducing new foods and tips for making snacks fun! Throughout the sessions, parents gained confidence in sharing with Kirsty about choices and habits they have or would like to improve around nutrition as well as learning some helpful tips and tricks to introducing new foods and helping navigate fussy eating with their little ones. A really enjoyable workshop with some lasting and practical tips for families to implement in the home.

Kirsty was excellent. She came up with lots of great ideas to help our daughter with her fussy eating. We've seen such an improvement since we started working with her. Kirsty is so friendly and helpful and really put us at ease during the sessions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I attended a Fussy Eating Workshop with Dr Kirsty. Such a fantastic workshop, full of inspiration and ideas. Dr Kirsty is so reassuring and the ideas are so helpful and realistic to try in a busy family home. I’m really looking forward to having a go at the ideas with my child. I recommend anyone with concerns about their child’s eating to get in touch with Dr Kirsty.

We have had issues with our daughter's eating habits for almost 3 years. Having exhausted our avenues within the NHS and getting nowhere, Dr Kirsty Porter was a very welcome source of positivity. We felt listened to and our issues were taken seriously. The help and guidance offered not only alleviated our own stress, but it more importantly has helped put actions in place for our daughter. It will be a long journey, but even in the past few weeks we have noticed small, positive changes. We would highly recommend Dr Kirsty Porter and are very thankful for her advice

Dr Kirsty did a talk for our mum's group within Energia Group and she was brilliant. We all took away Kirsty's important advice on how to go about weaning as well as how to support fussy eaters and it was great that we were able to ask our questions too. Thanks Dr Kirsty for helping us to navigate such an important topic.

Kirsty recently delivered workshops on fussy eating for parents through our service Parentline NI. These workshops were well attended and feedback from parents was overwhelmingly positive. Parents fed back that Kirsty's positive approach to the subject was supportive and informative and the sessions were packed with lots of practical advice to support them and their families. Kirsty has a professional approach and easy to work with, would highly recommend!

I did the webinar and it was so helpful and insightful. Before the session i was confused about how to manage my boy’s fussy eating and felt I wasn’t in control. Now i feel confident and relaxed with lots of new ideas to put into practice.

Dr Kirsty was exactly who I needed to meet before having my second child. Our son has severe food allergies and a lot of extreme fussy eating has stemmed from the allergy experiences he had. Truthfully I felt physically sick thinking about weaning our daughter after the traumatic experiences we had been through when weaning our son. Nutrition4Kids resources, webinars & 1-1 helped me to gain confidence in weaning. Our little girl doesn’t have the same challenges as our son. Thanks to Kirsty’s encouragement and professional advice I’ve managed to push past my fears as a mum and wean our daughter in a positive way that has actually encouraged her big brother to try new (safe) foods too. She LOVES food and eats pretty much anything. Kirsty has been the ultimate support and reassurance when nobody else really understood what we were going through. It helped me see new avenues for helping our son while forming positive relationships with food for both our kids 💕💙

Before attending I felt quite apprehensive about starting weaning. Kirsty’s webinair covered everything and more! It was so informative and Kirstys advice was so practical. Having the webinair split into two sessions a few weeks apart gave great opportunity for follow up too. I’ve referred back to the recordings too which has been so helpful. I would highly recommend this webinair- I now feel much more confident on our weaning journey- thanks Kirsty!

Before meeting Kirsty meal times were stressful and Kirsty has helped de-stress mealtimes with her techniques and advice. I have seen an improvement in my child from the start to end with Kirsty and I couldn’t have ask for a better dietician. Kirsty’s experience helped my child develop with eating and meal times aren’t as stressful and i’m glad to say that my child can spoon feed herself with assistance. Before meeting Kirsty my child couldn’t spoon feed herself. I would highly recommend Kirsty. Kirsty had directed myself to the correct OT specialist for my child’s sensory needs and now I know what is causing my child to not want to eat. With the tools and techniques I have learned from Kirsty I can bring these with me in the future and refer back to them if needed. Thank you for all your help. Catriona

Kirsty is an excellent source of information. She presented her information on weaning in a clear, practical and interesting way. We definitely feel a lot more prepared for our weaning journey and would totally recommend her live webinar.

I would highly recommend Kirsty’s Mastering Fussy Eating webinar. It is full of useful and practical advice for busy families. I left feeling much more positive and confident in moving forward with my fussy eater. Also brilliant to get a recording of the webinar to look back on. Thanks Kirsty!
