Munchkin Nutrition and Dietetics

Munchkin Nutrition and Dietetics is the second child of Erin Gillard and Rebecca Emmett.

As dietitians graduating together with first class honours from the University of Wollongong, Erin and Rebecca understand in detail the intricate link between diet and holistic health and wellbeing.

Their experience as mothers to three beautiful children has given them first hand knowledge of the joys and struggles of pregnancy, breastfeeding, newborn babies, infancy and young children.

Together they were motivated to establish a practice which supports women and their families through the nutrition hurdles that accompany conception, pregnancy and parenthood. To ease the stress, calm the confusion and offer solutions to the problems associated with these times. Whether you are a couple trying to conceive, a pregnant woman confused about what you should or shouldn't eat, a new mother concerned about your babies milk intake or a parent of a very fussy eater, we can help you through this journey.

We offer a range of services which include workshops, in home and phone consultations, shopping tours and public speaking.
