When I started to focus on early nutrition, and became a mother myself, I was struck by how much gold we hold in our hands as parents to shape our children's health and future eating habits. And yet, nobody tells us. Instead, parents are left alone, navigating a sea of conflicting information, weighed down by the fear of getting it wrong and the pressure of getting it right.

And that's just when it comes to feeding a healthy child. When feeding difficulties enter the picture, parents too often hear "they'll grow out of it", or find advice online that doesn't match what they live at every single meal. They're left feeling unheard, and the struggle at the table only grows.

That's why I created Petit Gourmet Academy: evidence-based support, deep listening and practical tools, tailored to your child, your family and your background. The brain of a professional and the empathy of a mother.

I'm a paediatric dietitian, trained and certified in France, with over 13 years of clinical experience in nutrition. I support families from pregnancy and the first 1,000 days, through starting solids, picky eating and more complex feeding challenges.

Because children's eating habits are shaped far beyond the family home, I also work alongside daycares, family restaurants and children's food brands, helping them create food offers where nourishment and pleasure finally meet. Over the years, I've trained more than 200 professionals and supported over 20 kitchens in transforming what they serve to children.

French, mother and expat in the Netherlands, I navigate two very different food cultures myself, and know firsthand how deeply recommendations are shaped by culture, as much as by science. I work in English and French.

My mission is for every parent, and every professional I work with, to leave feeling empowered, confident and truly supported. Because mealtimes shouldn't be a source of stress: they can be a source of connection and joy, at home and beyond.
