Hi everyone!
My name is Ann Westerhaus, I am a pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with Pediatric Nutrition Therapy (PNT). I am so excited to announce that Pediatric Nutrition Therapy will be partnering with Capernaum’s Feeding Clinic to provide nutritional expertise for children to help promote growth, development, healing, and health!
Throughout my career as a dietitian, I have witnessed the incredible healing power of nutrition, particularly when utilized as part of a child's plan of care. Our goal is to partner with families and health care professionals in the community, to develop nutrition treatment plans that are individually tailored to address the specific needs of each child. From failure to thrive infants to tube feeding regimens and blenderized feeding plans, to severe allergies that inhibiting growth and quality of life, we are here to address your child’s nutrition needs.
Enjoy the kid-friendly, yummy fall recipe below. I look forward to getting to know all of you and working with your children to ensure they live a nutritious, healthy, and happy life regardless of age, medical diagnosis or feeding ability!
Kind Regards,
Ann Westerhaus, RDN, LD
