  • And much more!

     

    About Deb Blakley:

     

    Deb is an Accredited Practising Dietitian & Accredited Nutritionist, recognised by the Dietitians Association of Australia. She is particularly passionate about supporting grown-ups (parents, carers & early childhood educators) to positively & joyfully connect or reconnect with food & eating and share this with the children in their care.

    Deb believes that ALL bodies are amazing, and she applies a weight-neutral, non-diet approach in supporting kids to grow into the bodies that are right for them. Her approach supports parents, carers, families & educators to make decisions about nutrition and health from a place of care & consideration rather than control.

    Deb says:

    I believe in the right of every person to EAT HAPPY!

    I believe that every child & every grown-up has the right to feel good about the body they live in, ALWAYS. Without question or condition.

    I believe that every child is capable of growing up to be a competent and confident eater no matter what the nutrition challenge is.

    I believe that every grown-up is capable of healing their relationship with food too!

    I delight in helping families put the joy back into eating together.
