Nutrition Counseling for Children
Empowering Healthy Habits for a Lifetime
At My Fruitful Body Nutrition, we specialize in pediatric nutrition, recognizing the critical role that proper nutrition plays in a child’s health, growth, and development. Whether you’re navigating challenges like picky eating, food allergies, or concerns about overweight and obesity, our registered dietitians provide personalized support to help your child thrive. Through a combination of nutrition counseling, practical advice, and a compassionate approach, we work with families to establish healthy eating habits that will benefit your child in the long term.
Why Child Nutrition Matters
Nutrition is the foundation of a healthy childhood. Access to nutritious meals and snacks supports physical growth, brain development, and a positive relationship with food. At My Fruitful Body, we believe that food should be nourishing, fun, and stress-free—for both parents and kids. We help families focus on balanced eating patterns that include every food group while addressing individual needs like high-risk food allergies or specific health concerns.
Our services aim to:
Support healthy eating habits and create a positive food environment.
Address concerns like overweight and obesity in a compassionate, family-focused way.
Provide expert guidance on meal planning and nutrition and physical activity to encourage overall wellness.

Common Concerns We Address
Parents often approach us with concerns like:
“My child is so picky—they won’t eat anything healthy!”
“How do I safely plan meals with my child’s food allergies?”
“I’m worried about my child’s weight. How can I support them without creating bad habits?”
“How can I help my teenager make healthier choices while giving them independence?”
Our approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to supporting both kids and their parents with solutions that work for your family’s unique situation.

Encourage Exploration: Teach kids to try new foods without pressure, building confidence and curiosity at the table.

“Before meeting with Angela, I was so nervous about my daughter’s weight gain issues. However, Angela was amazing and so reassuring! She shared some tips with me for helping my daughter become a better eater and she also talked through lots of ideas for feeding her healthier foods to help with her weight gain needs.
