Louise Slope Nourished Nest

Hello!

I’m Louise Slope

Nutritionally supporting You Through Every Stage of Parenthood

As a BANT-registered Nutritional Therapist, I specialise in maternal and child nutrition, helping parents confidently nourish their little ones from pregnancy through early childhood.

I understand how frustrating and overwhelming mealtime struggles can be, because I’ve been there. Whether you’re navigating pregnancy nutrition, introducing solids, managing picky eating, or supporting a neurodiverse child, I’m here to provide gentle, personalised guidance that fits into your family’s life, without added stress.

Why I Do This

My journey into child nutrition wasn’t just professional, it was personal. When my son developed extreme picky eating habits, I was told to "he will grow out of it" or that "he’ll eat when he’s hungry." But mealtimes became a daily battle, and I knew there had to be a better way.

Through my training, I discovered that eating challenges often stem from gut health, sensory sensitivities, food anxiety, or allergies, not just a child being "fussy." By understanding these deeper causes and making small, manageable changes, we are transforming his relationship with food.

Now, I help other families do the same, so you can stop feeling stuck and start seeing progress.

Why Work With Me?

Food & Nutrition Expertise – I hold a Food Science degree and spent over a decade developing recipes for supermarkets, so I know how to make nutritious food practical, affordable, and family-friendly.

Personal Experience & Empathy – I understand the stress and worry of feeding struggles because I’ve lived it. My approach is always judgment-free, supportive, and tailored to your family's needs.

Specialist Training in Child Nutrition & Neurodiversity – I’ve completed additional training in extreme picky eating, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia, helping children with sensory food challenges feel safe exploring new foods.

How Nutritional Therapy Supports Your Child’s Eating Habits

As parents, we all want our children to have a healthy relationship with food. However, there isn’t a quick fix or a magic pill to change eating habits, especially when it comes to picky eating. Nutritional therapy is about guiding you with practical, manageable steps to help your child become a confident and happy eater.

My Role as Your Child’s Nutritionist

I’m here to support, educate, and guide you through this journey. I will provide personalised recommendations, share strategies, and offer practical tips to help your child develop better eating habits. However, the real progress happens at home. While I can guide you, I cannot do the work for you.

Together, we will:
✅ Set realistic and achievable goals tailored to your child’s needs
✅ Implement small, simple changes that fit into your family’s routine
✅ Have regular check-ins (every 2 weeks and 4-6 weeks) to keep you accountable

Overcoming Common Barriers

We all fall into certain food habits due to time, energy, and daily routines. Changing these habits takes effort, but my approach is designed to be manageable. Sharing practical adjustments that won’t overwhelm your family. If a recommendation isn’t working, we’ll tweak it or set it aside until the time is right.

No Quick Fix, Just Steady Progress

Supporting your child’s eating habits is a journey, not an overnight transformation. It requires consistency, patience, and a willingness to try new strategies. There will be challenges along the way, but with regular check-ins, encouragement, and adjustments, we’ll keep moving forward.

This process isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. With my guidance and your commitment, we’ll work together to help your child develop a lifelong positive relationship with food.

Let’s take this journey one step at a time, together.

Parent Feedback

  • 9 year-old boy, with digestive problems

    “I'm so grateful for the help that Louise gave my son with his digestive problems and anxiety. She was so knowledgeable and had obviously done a lot of work into his case and how to help him. I felt we were in really safe hands. She was also very non-judgemental and understands the real life struggles of getting our kids to eat healthy food and take supplements. She was full of helpful tips and adaptations to support him - and these have rippled through the family to help my other children too. My son's digestive symptoms are much improved and the range of foods he eats is much wider.”

  • 11 year-old girl, hormone support

    “Louise is just simply amazing. She took the time to understand the situation, and was able to simplify the issues, suggest what could be the cause and how to approach fixing it. She was extremely knowledgeable but didn't swamp us with too much information. Rather it was explained in layman's terms and clear. I felt totally reassured that she could help and whilst we are still on the journey, we are making progress and her support and counsel had been invaluable.”

  • Pregnant, Gut Support

    “I had 5 session with Louise and her advice has made such a big difference to my health. I had struggled for years with IBS and was on a cocktail of medication but I felt it wasn’t getting any better. i felt she really listened to my history and made a personalised plan for me and my lifestyle that I could manage and actually stick to. Now with a better understanding of what my gut needs I can manage my symptoms purely with diet. I felt her background and training was of a really high standard and I felt really confident with her advice and supported all the way through. Louise explained the science behind gut health so clearly and how this relates to my personal symptoms which really helped my understand my situation better. Her recipes were easy to follow and most importantly delicious.”

  • Postnatal Support

    “Louise was so informative throughout our work together, providing really helpful information in diagrams and written information both during our sessions and afterwards for me to use to help inform my choices. I always felt like the information given was a choice and there were so many options for incorporating positive changes into my diet. I felt very held and supported by Louise who has excellent listening skills and was so compassionate throughout our time working together. It has helped me make lasting changes to our family diet and I am seeing the health benefits as a result. “

  • Update on my “Picky Eater”

    My daughter has been doing brilliantly. She's trying new things. She's less scared of mixed foods.

    I'm doing a chicken curry tonight for example and I'm sure she'll eat some of it. maybe not wolf it down but try it and eat enough.

    The final frontier is vegetables. they can go down when cut into something but directly eating a fruit or veg we are not there yet.
