Lea works with children of all ages to help establish healthy eating patterns that promote growth and development. In most cases this process also benefits the whole family’s nutritional status through education.
Using individual assessments and computer analysis Lea will help parents to identify their child’s current food intake and prioritise areas for change.
Parents of over or under weight children often complain that their child is being teased at school. Using ‘Empowerment Coaching’ methods Lea will assist a child to ‘grow’ into a healthier body weight.
