Speaking & Media

I speak from both sides of the table: as a Certified Practicing Nutritionist (AARPN), and as someone who lived with undiagnosed ARFID for over 30 years before recognising it in myself. This combination of nutritionist knowledge, clinical experience and lived experience is what I bring to every talk.

Past presentations on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland

I’ve presented to parents and health professionals on ARFID and selective eating from a lived-experience and clinical nutritionist perspective.

October 2025: Presented ‘Unpacking ARFID - Lived Experience Perspective with Nutritionist Kate’ to parents and allied health professionals

March 2026: Presented ‘ARFID from all angles - Through the lens of lived experience, supporting loved ones with selective eating, and supporting families of selective eaters as a nutritionist’ to allied health professionals

Topics I speak on

  • ARFID and selective eating: what it is, and why ‘picky eating’ advice fails the families I work with

  • Lived experience of ARFID, autism and ADHD

  • The multi-disciplinary and holistic approach needed to support children with ARFID

  • Neuro-affirming approaches to nutrition and feeding for health professionals and families
