Ways I can support you
About Me – Dr Kirsty Porter
I’m a Paediatric Dietitian with over 16 years of NHS and research experience — but also a farm-girl who learned early that food is about connection, not perfection.
This year, I was honoured to receive seven awards including two CN Awards — Clinical Nutrition Professional of the Year and Social Media Nutrition Professional of the Year — and was named Paediatric Dietitian of the Year (UK & Ireland).
Drawing on both my clinical background and my own experience as a former fussy eater, I combine professional expertise with genuine understanding of what families are going through.
My approach is warm, realistic, and focused on helping families find joy (and calm!) in feeding again.
