Hi! I'm Kristy Jordan, an Accredited Practising Dietitian on the Sunshine Coast.

My ‘Grate Adventure’ into becoming a feeding therapist began while I was studying a Bachelor of Dietetics (Honours) at the University of the Sunshine Coast. During this time I was encountering many children in my personal life who were struggling to enjoy a wide enough variety of foods, and experienced a lot of anxiety around eating. This led to me cooking with them a lot in my own kitchen, becoming a support worker, and learning how to use feeding therapy to help the kids I was working with to enjoy foods that would typically be very challenging for them.

After graduating in 2022, my business journey began, and Grate Adventures was established in 2024.

Now I provide personalised support as a Dietitian, Feeding Therapist, and Support Worker, along with a small team of student Dietitians. I specialise in helping children, adolescents, parents, and individuals in overcoming their eating difficulties and support them to develop a healthier relationship with food.

Our approach is interactive and fun, featuring hands-on activities, cooking sessions, and nutrition consultations. Drawing from my own personal experiences as a neurodivergent person, I tailor my services to your unique needs.

Feeding therapy helps your child receive the right nutrition, supports their growth and development, and improves both oral and fine motor skills. It encourages them to try new foods, reduces mealtime stress, and leads to better overall health. Additionally, it enhances social skills and promotes greater independence at the table.

As a caregiver, feeding therapy alleviates your concerns by providing effective strategies for managing feeding challenges and educating you about your child’s eating difficulties. It improves mealtime dynamics and equips you with skills to support your child’s progress, fosters positive food experiences, and offers regular updates on their development.

Benefits of feeding therapy:

• For Children
