As an intuitive eating counsellor, I’m all about equipping parents to raise peaceful, intuitive eaters with a balanced approach to food. I support families in nurturing healthy food relationships and addressing various eating concerns, such as fussy eating, sweet food preoccupations and emotional eating. Through tailored strategies, I help parents create stress-free mealtimes that encourage open communication, collaboration, and exploration of food. I empower families to cultivate a nurturing environment that promotes a lifelong peaceful food relationship.
As a body image coach, I work alongside parents in promoting body positive homes, and teach strategies to model body acceptance and confidence. I help parents to navigate ways to improve their child’s poor body image, and provide personalised support, education, cognitive behavioural therapy practices, and goal setting strategies.
This stuff is my jam, and I can equip you to provide your child with the help they need to move forward in their food or body image relationship.

Working with Alyssa
“I highly recommend Alyssa when seeking personalised advice and support for childhood food-based concerns. Alyssa ensured that I felt comfortable to share my situation and concerns and patiently made sure that I felt heard. She was very knowledgeable and provided realistic and achievable strategies and goals based on research and evidence.
"Even after one session, I feel like I've got strategies to put in place for myself and my kids. I appreciated your authenticity and how you really seemed to 'get it'. I feel empowered. Thank you."

‘Hi Alyssa, Thank you very much for your insight into how to support my children with their nutrition and intuitive eating. I’ve already started to make changes in the way we do dinners, and I’m being more relaxed in my approach to their fussiness. I feel like I have some helpful tools thanks to you. I hope to hear you speak again sometime!’
“Thank you again for Friday’s workshop, it was really helpful and exciting to feel like I have a better grasp on what I can be doing to support my kids.”
“I used to think mainly of food as fuel for my kids, but thanks to your authentic, personal and relevant insights, I can see that it’s so much more than that!”
“I highly recommend Redwood Wellbeing’ Intuitive Eating presentation for all parents. Alyssa’s evidence-based presentation was interesting and informative, shared in a down to earth way that was supportive and encouraging. The strategies shared were practical and specific to the situations of those participating. I feel equipped to implement the suggested strategies for my family and would encourage any parent to attend the presentation if they want support with their child’s positive eating habits. Thank you Alyssa!”
"Alyssa is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. Her knowledge and understanding is incredible. Her service is unique and gives you the tools you need to change for the rest of your life."
