Meet Your Nutritionist
Hi, I’m Verena.
I’m a Registered Nutritionist specialising in paediatric nutrition, supporting families in Harpenden and St Albans who want to lay strong foundations for lifelong health.
With over a decade of experience in nutrition and public health, I help parents navigate children’s nutrition with clarity and confidence—cutting through conflicting advice to focus on balanced eating, healthy growth, and sustainable habits. My work is grounded in evidence-based nutrition and an understanding of how environment, routine, and family life shape eating behaviours from an early age.
I specialise in practical, realistic approaches to feeding children—supporting healthy development while reducing mealtime stress and unnecessary food rules.
I’m registered with the Association for Nutrition, ensuring my work meets accredited, science-led professional standards.
