Little People Eat accepts referrals via ERMS from your child\u2019s GP or Allied Health Professional, Paediatrician letter, as well as self-referrals. It can be really helpful to bring or send through any medical records or letters that relate to your child\u2019s health, including your child\u2019s growth records found in their Well Child Tamariki Ora book (if aged 5 or under).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I hold a weekly Friday morning clinic at St Martins Medical Practice (79 Wilsons Rd), or if you prefer, you can book a phone or video consultation in one of my online clinics. If you choose \u00a0an online appointment, I will email a link that brings you straight into the virtual waiting room \u2013 no apps or downloads required.\u00a0 Please phone or email to discuss a home visit if this is what you require.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Many health insurance companies do reimburse some or all of the appointment cost for seeing a Registered Dietitian. Little People Eat can provide an invoice for you to send to your insurer to claim reimbursement. Some levels of cover require a Specialist referral.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I\u2019m a New Zealand Registered Dietitian with current annual practicing certificate, endorsed with Dietitian prescribing rights.\u00a0 I participate in the New Zealand Dietitians Board Continuing Competency Programme, which ensures that dietetic practice is sound and follows current evidenced based practice. This is achieved by participating in continuing education events, having regular peer review, and being involved in other professional development activities.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

New Zealand Registered Dietitians are not permitted by law to use testimonials.\u00a0 You can be confident of my skills and experience, having provided advice and support to thousands of parents to improve their little person\u2019s nutrition during 10 years as Canterbury\u2019s Community Paediatric Dietitian.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, I am an endorsed prescriber with the Dietitians Board of New Zealand, which allows prescription of a specific list of nutritional products. I can write prescriptions for your child if I have provided their initial prescription or have seen them in person.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
