When Your Child's Eating Feels Tricky

Gentle, practical support around food, eating and body image — for children, teens, and the families who love them.

Hi, I am Karlien Duvenage (she/her), a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist (with an MSc in Psychology) based in Singapore.

I offer personalised one-on-one nutrition counselling and group workshops for parents and caregivers of infants, children, and teenagers.

​

Together, we create practical strategies to support your child and family while navigating a wide range of nutrition-related challenges, including

  • Fuelling for youth athletes with high or changing energy demands

  • Sensory-based eating differences ("picky eating")

  • ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)

  • Paediatric medical needs and developmental differences

  • Body image concerns and eating disorder recovery

  • Tailored nutrition support for neurodivergent children and teens

  • Menu planning for diverse family needs​

My work is grounded in a weight-inclusive, neurodiversity-affirming, and trauma-informed approach, recognising that children grow, eat, and develop in different ways. This means respecting your child’s sensory experiences, emotional safety, and individual growth patterns. My focus is on supporting nourishment and wellbeing — without diet culture or using weight as the sole measure of health. Care is inclusive and affirming of all identities, including LGBTQ+ children, teens, and families. 

​

As a dietitian and nutritionist with over twenty years of experience, I have worked with many diverse families, including neurodivergent children and teens (such as autistic children and ADHDers), as well as those with disabilities or chronic health conditions. My approach is to make nutrition accessible, respectful, and responsive to each child’s individual needs, sensory experiences, and developmental pace.

SERVICES

Thoughtful, Compassionate Nutrition Support

Like most parents, I know you are doing your best. Feeding challenges are often more complex than they first appear, and you deserve support that takes your experience seriously and works alongside you.

​

Karlien Dietitian was created as a place where you can come as you are, share your story, and receive practical, respectful nutrition support. I offer individualised nutrition counselling and group-based educational options that can be tailored to best meet your needs.

 

With the right guidance, feeding can begin to feel clearer, more manageable, and less overwhelming. Get in touch and learn more about how we could work together.​
