Paediatric nutrition

Supporting healthy growth, development and positive relationships with food.

Every child is different, and so are their nutritional needs. Whether your child is a fussy eater, has a medical condition affecting their nutrition, or you're simply looking for guidance to support healthy growth and development, we're here to help.

At Ace Health & Performance, we work alongside children, parents and caregivers to provide practical, evidence-based nutrition advice that fits into everyday family life. Our goal is to make mealtimes less stressful while helping children develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime.

Children's nutrition isn't about creating the "perfect" diet—it's about supporting healthy growth, development and positive eating experiences.

We provide practical advice to help families:
  • Reduce mealtime stress
  • Improve food variety
  • Support healthy growth and development
  • Meet nutritional requirements
  • Build confidence around feeding
  • Establish positive eating habits
  • Navigate food allergies and intolerances
  • Fuel sport and physical activity

Every recommendation is tailored to your child's age, development and individual needs.

How can a dietitian help?

Our paediatric nutrition service supports infants, children and adolescents with a range of nutrition concerns, including:

  • Fussy eating
  • Poor growth or weight gain
  • Overweight and obesity
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Iron deficiency
  • Food allergies and intolerances
  • Coeliac disease
  • Gastrointestinal concerns
  • Constipation
  • Sports nutrition for young athletes
  • Healthy eating education

We also support parents who simply want reassurance that their child is meeting their nutritional needs.

Who can benefit?

Why Choose us?

We understand that every child is unique.

Our Accredited Practising Dietitian works collaboratively with parents, caregivers and other healthcare professionals to provide personalised nutrition support tailored to your child's needs.

Where appropriate, we also work alongside our physiotherapists and exercise physiologists to support children with developmental concerns, chronic health conditions or sporting goals through coordinated, multidisciplinary care.

MEET iresh ramlochun.

I have a strong interest in Combat Sports and Strength & Conditioning, which drives me to help people move efficiently and optimise their recovery through sports massage, effective stretching, and joint mobilisation techniques. Having worked with AFL athletes (NBFC) over the course of my Diploma, I pride myself on my ability to adapt to different sports and provide a tailored approach.

I am particularly fascinated by pain neuroscience and the treatment of chronic pain conditions. Inspired by chronic pain sufferers in my life, I am dedicated to continually further my knowledge in this area. I believe the best way to treat chronic pain is to thoroughly understand someone’s condition and the unique story it tells.
