Pediatric Nutritionist in New Jersey

Nutrition

Your child's everyday diet plays an important role in brain function. At NJPNI, our pediatric nutritionist can help craft a diet that maximizes brain function. Individualized diet plans that are backed by evidence-based research may also help to alleviate symptoms of ADHD, headaches, autism, and a number of other neurological conditions in many patients.

Why see our Pediatric Nutritionist?

A Pediatric Dietitian, also called a Pediatric Nutritionist, offers a child-centered approach specializing in dietary needs of growing infants and children. Heather will perform comprehensive assessments about your child's health and growth, and use that information to create a customized plan to support your child's nutrition and development.

Helping your child every step of the way

Heather will share meal plans and recipes, give you tips and techniques; and help your child thrive through the transformative power of food and nutrition. Heather works with families to set realistic goals that fit into each unique family dynamic. Each session builds upon previous sessions at a pace that is comfortable for both caregivers and children alike.  Heather specializes in picky eaters and food aversions, neurological conditions, and gastroenterology.
