Paediatric dietitian

About Lucy Neary

Lucy has a BSc honours degree from King’s College London with additional postgraduate learning through the British Dietetic Association in common paediatric disorders. Lucy is trained to work with children with feeding difficulties in both the Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to Feeding (the SOS Approach) and Emotionally Aware Feeding Responsive Feeding Approach. She has been working as a registered dietitian for 11 years both within the NHS and the private sector.

Lucy is on a mission to eliminate outdated generational feeding myths to help parents to work with, not against, the individualism of their child. By creating connections that prioritise both nurture and nutrition, parents and children can enjoy healthier relationships with each other, and their food.

As a neurodivergent single parent to 2 young children Lucy understands the difficulties that can arise from parenting children with emotional and sensory difficulties. This fuels her determination to assist parents struggling with feeding difficulties, striving to alleviate their stress whilst creating an environment where children can build their confidence around foods whilst feeling truly understood as an individual.
