With more than 10 years of clinical experience, Symone has worked with a range of ages and health conditions, and has a special interest in the needs and development from pre-conception, through pregnancy and into early childhood. Her passion is to provide family-centered support to make realistic and sustainable changes.

Symone is a qualified SOS feeding consultant (‘Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to Feeding’) which is a feeding therapy for fussy eaters & problem feeders. Working with Symone you can expect to increase the range of food which your child’s accepts from touch, taste, try and in turn lead to increased variety and volume of foods.
