About Dr Kyla and the Mealtimes membership
Hi, I'm Dr Kyla Paediatric dietitian, fussy eating specialist and the founder of Mealtimes
I’m a Perth-based paediatric dietitian with a passion for helping families to feed their children well, without the overwhelm. I have a PhD in childhood weight management and 19 years experience working with restrictive eaters in both my clinic and online programs. I’m also a mum of two, and I know the struggle today’s parents have with navigating limited time, information overwhelm, picky eaters and societal expectations.
I'm here to help you feel good about feeding your family.
Changing the way we feed this generation of children
From the moment you begin thinking about starting your baby on solids, parents are presented with so much information about the ‘right’ way to feed their children.
And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the toddler years come around and suddenly your happy-to-eat-anything baby becomes a fussy eater. Cue: beige meals and battles at the table.
Then they reach the school years and you add lunchboxes on top of your already busy schedule. It’s enough to make you want to toss them a snack and go hide in the pantry with a hot cross bun.
My mission is to empower you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support your babies, toddlers and school-aged kids to nurture a great relationship with food as they continue to grow.
My approach is built on evidence-based research into childhood nutrition, my experience working with thousands of families in my clinic and online, along with my own parenting journey.
I believe we can raise kids to respect their bodies, trust their hunger and feel confident around all kinds of food. Together, we can change the way we feed this generation of children.
I'd love to help you too. Come join me.

Dr Kyla's Chewsday Reviews
Every Tuesday, I review a common food found in Australian supermarkets. Free of judgement, misinformation or fearmongering, it’s simply a way to help you better understand what you’re buying for your family.
I’ll send you my weekly Chewsday Reviews along with information to help make feeding your kids a more stress-free experience.
