Nourish with Karina

Fantastic experience: I loved the '5 days to healthier kids challenge', I cant believe it was free, Karina really knows her stuff and is passionate about children's nutrition which shows in her upbeat and enthusiastic presentations which kept me engaged. I really appreciated the videos being available after the 'live' time so I could watch when convenient to me. Karina also has a huge amount of resources on her website that I reference regularly. She has really help guide me in providing better snack options for my child and I am really appreciative.

Fantastic experience: The 5 day challenge was amazing. I loved how it was short and sharp with clean focuses to ensure it didn’t feel overwhelming. I learnt a lot in the 5 days and made some small changes that I know my family will continue with. Karina was amazing. So kind and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the session and know I’ll work with her at some point in time in the future. Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable and could tell she cares a lot about the people she works with and the impact she has!

Fantastic experience: I participated in the 5 days to healthier kids challenge and it was the best decision for my family. I learned so much in just 1 week about simple changes I could make to improve my kids diet and overall health. The education made all the difference for my family, understanding the importance of gut health and how to improve it allowed me to educate my 4 yr old on why we needed to eat healthy foods and avoid some of the processed sugary snacks he loves so much. It was like a switch clicked and now he is trying to make healthy choices, is eating dinner much better and not making a fuss about the healthier alternatives I am giving him. It was an amazing challenge and I would highly recommend Karina for anyone struggling with fussy eaters!

Fantastic experience: Karina is a very experienced dietitian. Her advice is very practical. I am very grateful to have her.

Fantastic experience: Karina has really nailed it with Nourishing Kids. She has developed a program that helps everyone, whatever stage you are at, and supports growth, from wherever you start.

Fantastic experience: As a very concerned mother, I was feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to manage my child's nutrition. The Karina provided exactly the guidance I needed. She took the time to understand our situation and created a clear, practical food plan that was easy to follow. Her approach was kind, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. I now feel so much more confident and empowered. I’m truly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to any parent in need!

Fantastic experience: Karina's session to discuss our 11 year old daughter's nutrition plan was outstanding! Our daughter must eat a gluten free diet, and also suffers frequent debilitating headaches (due to certain foods). Planning her strict diet and ensuring she had the essential nutrition intake was completely overwhelming until we sought guidance from Karina. Karina's suggested nutrition plan and resources including easy recipes, healthy snack ideas, supermarket food guides, and food additive guides have put us on a solid pathway to ensuring our daughter is well nourished going forward! I'd highly recommend her Nourish with Karina services.

Fantastic experience: Karina was lovely to talk to, understood my concerns around my sons ASD/ARFID and had great advice. I look forward to working with her as an ongoing support

Positive experience: Karina provided valuable guidance on my son's diet. I appreciate her inclusive approach—she encourages all foods while offering simple, practical ways to maximize nutrition. Her method of small, doable steps makes a big difference without feeling overwhelming. With Karina’s help, we made some great tweaks to my son’s diet, and I now feel much more confident about how to nourish him.

Fantastic experience: I have just completed the 5 Days to Healthier Kids Challenge with Karina and wow is all I can say! This is a FREE online program for 1 hour a day for 5 days with Karina- a highly qualified paediatric dietician. Karina generously shared and educated us all on a huge array of invaluable information from gut health, fussy eating, additives and preservatives, sugar intake and creating mindful eaters. There was zero judgement and Karina was very supportive of people’s current knowledge and situations. I would absolutely recommend this to ALL parents! Even if your not having any major feeding concerns as you will still learn so much to make more positive changes in this space. The biggest eye opener for me was that developing healthy eating habits is not just a childhood challenge but extends right through til teen years and beyond! I tend to just focus on the current season we are in (with a 4 year old) so it was a good reminder this will be a constant journey and potential issues to be aware of as my child gets older. TikTok trends included! Thank you Karina for opening my eyes and all of the helpful tips I feel much more equipped now

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. The information is incredible but second to none the support, guidance and non guilt way of providing life long skills for raising healthy humans . Extremely grateful. Have signed up to the complete program.

Fantastic experience: Karina has been an excellent source of information both on her podcast the easy feed and in her 5 days to healthier kids challenge with easy to listen to and easy to follow formats. Her knowledge has given me the tools to improve the health of the whole family. Her recipes are simple and delicious with easy to source ingredients.

Fantastic experience: We had a fantastic experience with Karina! She is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and reassuring. She took the time to understand our family's needs and provided practical, realistic options that we can confidently implement. Her approach made us feel supported rather than overwhelmed, and we left the appointment feeling empowered and hopeful. I would highly recommend Karina to any family looking for a compassionate and skilled paediatric dietitian.

Fantastic experience: Excellence in paediatric dietary information for babies and children. My partner and I feel confident starting solids thanks to Karina.

Fantastic experience: As a first-time mum, I wanted guidance on the best way to start solids to ensure my son has good gut health, builds a healthy relationship with food and a reduced chance of developing food allergies. He is also only on the 3rd weight percentile and has had some gas, so we wanted tailored advice on helping him with these issues as well. Karina has been great. She gave us numerous tips on how to set him up for success and we feel much more confident going into this new journey. We are also going through her course content which will be great as we embark on each step (especially since it’s hard to remember things as a new mum).

Fantastic experience: I did the 5week free challenge with Karina, it was an easy decision to sign up to her membership. As a mum of 3 boys under 7 Karina made it simple and achievable to make changes around the long term health and wellbeing of our whole family. Iv really enjoyed making her recipes, my kids have definitely enjoyed eating them.. as well as the product reviews making those small changes to my shopping list that make all the difference in the health of my family.

Fantastic experience: Karina is always answering all of my questions straight away, she also takes the time to explain everything in detail with a big smile Also all her emails I receive are packed with great information and motivation, I am learning so much from her!

Fantastic experience: Joining Nourishing Kids membership program has been one of the best decisions I've made for my daughter's health and wellbeing. The resources on the portal are packed with practical, evidence-based information that's easy to understand and implement, and the variery of recipes is impressive! What really sets this program apart is the support from Karina. She is incredibly knowledgeable with so much experience (both on a personal and professional level), empathetic, and she truly cares about each member's journey. Whether I’ve had questions about picky eating, specific ingredients, navigating food allergies, or just general tips for balanced healthy meals, Karina has always provided guidance that is personalised and never judgmental. Her encouragement through fortnightly zoom calls has really helped me to stay motivated, consistent and less stressed. I always come away with wonderful new ideas and feeling like I'm doing a great job. ❤️ Having access to a private Facebook community of like-minded parents has been an added bonus. We’re able to learn from each other as we share our experiences, wins and challenges. Not only has my toddler become more open to trying some new foods (yes, it does take time and lots of patience!), but I also feel more confident in making healthy choices in general. This program has transformed my approach to family nutrition and mealtimes in such a positive way, and I'm so grateful that I decided to join. I can’t recommend Karina enough to any parent who wants to feel supported and empowered in making the best choices for their child's nutritional needs. If you're thinking of joining... just do it!!!

Fantastic experience: Reflecting on the progress we've made since joining nourishing kids tonight and I'm so thankful it's got us back to basics, sitting down to eat together as much as possible. 4weeks ago we would have had a tantrum if we suggested tacos for dinner or anything other than 'noodles, no sauce'... Now here we are, eating all of the components + helping us to make ours too.. We're even eating noodles with hidden veg sauce now!! Moving our conversations away from food, offering safe foods, recognising sensory preferences and doing pop quiz have definitely been essential in the process! Thanks for your continued motivation, advice, wisdom and support over the last few years during our allergy & feeding journey Karina, I could not be more grateful ❤️

Fantastic experience: Karina is a passionate Paediatric Dietitian with spectacular presenting skills. She makes complex nutritional concepts easy to understand in a welcoming and judgement free manner. Karina’s enthusiasm for her work is infectious, and it's clear that she is dedicated to making a positive impact on the health of children. I wholeheartedly recommend Karina to anyone seeking expert dietary advice paired with compassion and support.

Fantastic experience: I love Karina's Nourishing Kids Membership. There's no judgement, just loads of really good tips to help your child to eat better. I haven't used all the resources yet but I am already implementing small changes in feeding my kids which I know will pay off in the long run.

Fantastic experience: We had the benefit of tapping into the knowledge & expertise of Karina via a dedicated lunch & learn session which was set up for busy parents. A session to navigate the fussy eating stage of young children, thinking through nutritious options and providing tips to support healthy choices for lunch boxes. Karina is an incredible speaker - engaging, passionate & empathetic. She is a wealth of knowledge & has an innate way of making the complex simple and reinforcing to parents that we're all doing our best. I look forward to utilising Karina again for future talks (and even some 1:1 advice). Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Karina has transformed my approach when feeding my child with food intolerance, reflux and constipation. Her online consultations and resources provided through the Nourishing Kids membership have been invaluable and equipped me with the confidence and skills on what my child is eating. We also use Karinas recipe book daily and my children now enjoy a wide variety of foods and are happy and healthy! I could not recommend Karina enough.

Fantastic experience: We are so grateful to have Karina share her knowledge with us. She has brought us incredible comfort when it comes to feeding our son who has FPIES. We went from not knowing anything, to having a son who eats so well! We struggled initially with formula, and Karina's suggestions all worked wonders (the only that worked). We've learnt a lot about food allergies too and her recipe ideas are the best!

Fantastic experience: I was a member of Karina's Nourishing Kids membership group for 8 months and it was a great experience. Her 3 week feeding reset includes so much information (recipes, fussy eater tips, etc.). Beyond that, Karina herself is very accessible via the private facebook community, a monthly zoom call, and weekly summary emails of everything that has been covered. It's like having an expert at your fingertips! I would highly recommend the program for anyone struggling with feeding kids.

Fantastic experience: Eating predominantly plant based foods, we waned to make sure we were getting all the nutrients we needed so we sought out Karina's help. The individual consultations have been so helpful and the information in the membership is priceless! The fussy eaters course was brilliant and in only one week our 3 year old went from eating nothing at dinner time to 3 bowls of minestrone soup one night! Thank you Karina!

Fantastic experience: Karina is a well spoken, professional wealth of knowledge about all things nutrition. As a parent I didn’t feel judged about my child’s eating struggles in fact, I left out meeting feeling empowered and affirmed. I would highly recommend Karina for any childhood nutrition issues or concerns.

Fantastic experience: Karina’s advice was excellent, easy to follow, practical. An invaluable experience!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely highly recommend Karina. She has been amazing with helping us through the stages of getting our 12 month old Son diagnosed with Coeliac, as well as giving us as much information as possible to educate us on the start of our Coeliac journey. Thanks so much Karina x

Fantastic experience: I had my first session with Karina today and I can say I am feeling motivated and confident to make changes. Karina was very professional but also made me feel really comfortable. I have signed up to the membership program and can’t wait to start working through the modules, I feel like change is actually possible this time!

Fantastic experience: Karina is a wealth of knowledge! She instantly knew what I was talking about! Karina is so supportive, encouraging & ACTUALLY has a plan! I hadn’t had any success previously with anyone & kept being told “my baby would just grow out of things”.. However my mothers instinct knew there could be an improvement & I finally found the guidance we needed. Highly recommend Karina!

Fantastic experience: Karina was easy to talk to, thorough and highly knowledgeable. She gave practical advice for navigating dietary challenges amongst busy family life. I felt listened to and left the consult with a clear plan.

Fantastic experience: Not only was Karina a wealth of knowledge and expertise, but she was also warm, compassionate and understanding. In an hour long consult I learnt so much. I am excited to now be a member of her online group and have already seen so many great resources which I look forward to putting to the test with my three children. Thank you so much Karina - I look forward to working with you again soon. :)

Positive experience: Karina Savage is a wonderful Dietician. She guided me the right way of giving proper nutricious and healthy diet for my daughter.

Fantastic experience: After just one phone call, we felt relieved and supported on our journey to improve the feeding experience of our child. It is also amazing to have access to the online resources, especially the recipes. Definitely looking forward to seeing whether we can improve the snacking options each day. Thanks Karina, can highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: So helpful for the whole family.

Fantastic experience: Karina has provided me with a wealth of knowledge regarding my child’s diet and tricky eating patterns. She took the time to listen and as a result, I now have clear and positive management systems moving forward.

Fantastic experience: I was very happy with my consultation with Karina. She is personable and easy to talk to and her advice for my daughter's diet was simple and will hopefully be easy to follow and implement. I especially appreciated the summary, extra resources, and optional extra support that Karina provided after the online consultation.

Fantastic experience: Karina gave us great advice and a comprehensive plan for helping our toddler who loves food to eat a more healthy diet. She's now on track for a balanced relationship with food going forward. Some great recipes too. Thanks Karina!

Fantastic experience: Have been seeing Karina for a few months now and she has been absolutely beautiful with our daughter who is such a fussy eater and trying new foods has been an uphill battle for me as her mother! With Karinas help, patience and understanding and guidance I feel we are over the Hill. It will be an ongoing process but I know that Karina will be there for us at any stage! Can’t thank her enough!

Fantastic experience: I sought dietetic assistance for my 2 year old son after he was diagnosed with a genetic condition that impacts his digestion. Karina is so knowledgeable. She ran a Well paced session with Loads of practical tips. The Collaborative approach was hugely appreciated! I felt very seen and heard.

Fantastic experience: I spent an hour online with Karina today discussing meal options around weight gain and growth for my food daughter (special needs and puree fed) considering her food allergies and feeding concerns (dysphagia). Karina made excellent use of time during the consult and I felt I learnt exactly what I needed today. Karina was reassuring around my concerns and gave me strategies that I can easily fit into our routine.

Fantastic experience: Having a vegan teenager on our hands caused us concerns regarding the impact on his brain, bone, muscle and general development. Karina not only gave us a concrete, manageable eating plan, but the reassurance that our son could follow his chosen vegan life without missing out on all the nutrients etc a growing boy needs.

Fantastic experience: Karina is wonderful at what she does and very informative and supportive

Fantastic experience: Karina was very good at relating to my daughter (who has mild intellectual disability). She was able to form a connection with her and give her some very useful information so that she can feel like she making some healthy food choices.

Fantastic experience: Karina was such a fantastic help to us! We sought her guidance when my son was 8 months old as he was diagnosed with food allergies. We needed help with ensuring his nutrition needs were met in foods that didn’t contain these allergens. With Karina’s great meal idea recommendations and clear advice, our son had a growth spurt and showed an increased interest in eating solids. He suddenly seemed to enjoy eating so much more and we know this is due to Karina’s help. Starting solids is already challenging enough and having to navigate through food allergies can be daunting. We were amazed with the personalised advice we received that catered to our son’s specific needs and it put our minds at ease. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Overall very friendly and helpful advice

Fantastic experience: Super helpful and practical advice for my 6 year old. I feel like I have a solid plan after speaking to Karina that I will be able to immediately implement.

Fantastic experience: Karina has been a wonderful help in improving my sons digestive issues. Her diagnoses was spot on and immediately improved the situation. Thank you Karina! I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Having battled with my fussy eater for years, I finally reached out to Karina for assistance. Karina was so easy to work with and guided me in finding balance at meal times and tricks to assist our daughter to eat breakfast and find healthy 'sweet' treats. I am looking forward to trying out some of her recipes and find enjoyment again in meal times (I promise to clear off our dining table & start connecting with our children during dinnertime). Thanks again Karina.

Fantastic experience: Karina was very helpful in assisting me in getting my weight under control. I went from 110kg to 96kg in a short reasonable time through change of diet and exercise suggested by her. Her manner is professional and friendly. I highly recommend Karina’s services.

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a big thank you to Karina, who helped us with our little one and her fussy eating. Karina responded to us so quickly and was able to fit us in for a consult very quickly. During the consult Karina was so lovely and put my mind at ease with regards to worries I had about our little one. We now have a clear and easy to follow plan to get our little one back on track with eating a wide range of foods. The consultation and the fussy eating program and resources are wonderful and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I was so pleased to have been referred to Karina at Tricky Little Tummies. She was so helpful, supportive and kind. I went away feeling more confident and empowered as a Mother in taking care of my daughter as I help her negotiate being Coeliac and a Type 1 Diabetic.

Fantastic experience: Karina was amazing since day one, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. She helped my baby's food introduction with such care and patience considering his allergies and guiding us through the best way possible. We are very thankful for having her in this journey. :)

Fantastic experience: Karina was fabulous, she was understanding, extremely knowledgeable and so easy going. She totally got it.

Fantastic experience: Karina’s approachable manner helped my daughter feel at ease. She was able to share knowledge and advice that was achievable and realistic for a 16 year old. I would recommend Karina.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Karina Savage as a paediatric dietitian. Her thorough understanding of diet and health-related issues, empathy, support, and approachability were just what our daughter and family really needed. I really can’t recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Karina is very knowledgeable with a warm and friendly nature. After one consultation I felt I had the tools and confidence to make positive food changes for my son which would also benefit my other son and our family as a whole. I would definitely recommend Karina especially if you have a fussy eater in your family.

Fantastic experience: We are so happy with Karina and her advice and would happily recommend her. We had a heap of questions and all were answered easily and with patience. It's also very reassuring that Karina's advice is based on our child specifically. She has taken the time to get to know her situation and delve into her specifics. So often we are just shared the info for an "average child at this age" - which is not helpful unless your child is on the 50th percentile. Hopefully the advice and care we have received means we will not require additional sessions - but will happily reach out to Karina again if needed.

Fantastic experience: Karina has a wealth of knowledge and her advice has helped us greatly to understand our son's dietary needs. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Karina was extremely helpful and addressed my daughter’s needs by offering advice, practical suggestions and ongoing support. Her kind and compassionate nature helped my daughter to feel comfortable in our sessions so that she could get the most out of them.

Fantastic experience: Our son was diagnosed as a Coeliac this year, aged 8. Although I am also a Coeliac we learnt so much more about how to adjust our son and family diet through Karina. Her advise snd sessions made the transition so easy for all of us.

Fantastic experience: Karina was super helpful and non judgemental. She gave me loads of great ideas to increase the nutritional value of the meals I give to my toddler, as well as how to encourage my picky little eater to try new foods. After the consultation Karina was super responsive and happy to answer any further questions I had. I paid extra for access to her program, which has allowed me to keep referring to information and given me access to amazing recipes as needed. I am Melbourne based, thanks to Telehealth, I was able to connect with Karina based in Sydney.

Fantastic experience: It's not often that you find a health practitioner who understands your needs so completely and resolves all your concerns with ease. Karina has helped me to become a confident new mum and for that I'm forever grateful. Introducing solids to my six-month-old son was very overwhelming and stressful, but now I'm totally smashing it! I highly recommend Karina to any mum ( or dad, new and experienced) who wants to introduce solids better with gut health in mind.

Fantastic experience: Karina has a huge amount of knowledge, is kind, friendly and very reassuring which is a lovely combination of exactly what I needed. My daughter has a soy and dairy intolerance and she has helped guide me through each stage. I’ve felt very supported and confident with the help of Karina. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Karina was enormously helpful! She took the time to understand our particular circumstances and gave us lots of advice and guidance. My husband and I left the appointment feeling confident and excited to start our new food journey with our little boy!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Karina. She gives excellent advice on how to get nutrients into extremely picky eaters - and great recipes to help with that. She also has a great meal plan which I've found much better than any other meal plan from picky-eater professionals. It is easy and achievable and caters to most tastes. The food reviews on her Instagram account are great - they are honest about the limitations we face as busy mums and she doesn't make me feel bad about the "quick" options I sometimes give to my kids! Karina has a really fabulous way of making me feel like I'm doing a good job, which I love. And, she is just a really lovely person and easy to chat to, which helps if you have a private session with her!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for making our son's transition to gluten free products a lot easier. Having you there to help us definitely made it a lot less stressful

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Karina from Smartbite Nutrition. Our 10 year old was a fussy eater and would often skip meals, which affected his energy levels and moods. We were lucky to find Karina, and found her to be very knowledgeable and engaging with our son. She talked about food positively and explained the importance of healthy eating in a fun way that was on his level. Karina then helped our son by writing a weekly menu based on foods that he liked and wanted to eat, as well as suggesting new foods. Our son really connected with her and to the new way of eating. Her refers to her menu regularly when choosing what to eat and has said he feels much better within himself and has more energy. Karina is professional and listens very well to children and I can’t thank her enough for the positive change she has made for our son and our family.

Fantastic experience: We had a zoom consultation with Karina to establish a healthy nutrition plan for our two year old daughter. Karina has a fantastic manner, in-depth knowledge of the field and and most importantly a wealth of practical suggestions on how to implement an healthy diet for a two year old! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Karina has a warm and friendly approach which is great for kids and adults. She was incredibly knowledgeable about all things FODMAP and gut related. She gave us a clear and simple plan and plenty of food ideas which was a massive help. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Any parent who has a child with multiple food allergies, eczema and asthma knows how challenging this can be! Since engaging Karina to help improve my 8yo’s skin and gut health, our family has been thriving! We have his skin issues under control, we are making better choices as a family and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you Karina for always being so engaging and informative while we navigate this part of our lives. We would absolutely recommend you to anyone seeking guidance for their child/children!

Fantastic experience: Karina is an amazing dietician with extensive knowledge and experience that enables her to offer personalised care and advice that can actually be applied and is very practical. Karina has guided me with my daughter who suffers reflux and helped me understand how to make sound food judgements to ensure positive growth and eating habits are instilled in my daughter.

Fantastic experience: My oldest boy was extremely fussy when he started solids (and still is at 3 years old!) Karina was a huge support to me and gave me lots of tips and also reassurance that he is normal. She also helped me with my own gut issues and guided me through a Low Fodmap diet, which has been life changing. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Karina! She provided very practical and balanced advice that we’ll easily be able to build into our day to day lives.

Fantastic experience: I visited Karina at The Mosman Practice just before my son started solids. Being a new Mum can be stressful and overwhelming with the amount of input from social media outlets and different options from family, healthcare professionals and friends. Visiting Karina was the best thing I could have done. She provided me with simple yet extensive advice, not only on how to introduce solids but when and some examples. Anything that can make parenting in those early days a little bit simpler are a bonus. We also have a little boy who is now great at eating and trying new foods. Thank you Karina for providing us with the tools and confidence in that particular part of our parenting journey.

Fantastic experience: We had a great Skype consultation with Karina regarding starting our son on solids, following a vegan diet and ensuring he still gets all the essential nutrients he needs, and introducing potential allergens. Karina was lovely to talk to, answered all of our questions and followed up by sending through valuable information for us to refer back to.

Fantastic experience: I saw Karina for my 4 year old daughter who is a fussy eater. Karina is caring and understanding and very thorough. She provided me with strategies to try at home which were easy to implement. Her calm demeanor put me to rest and she was great with my daughter. I would highly recommend seeing Karina.

Fantastic experience: Karina was always on time to our Skype sessions, quick to reply to correspondence and very warm & understanding. Would recommend if you’re an anxious first-time mum and need help with your diet for your little one... I know I was one!

Fantastic experience: Karina helped me to manage my 10 years olds chronic severe reflux by suggesting and guiding me through the FODMAP diet. She broke it all down into simple steps making it less overwhelming for myself and my son. Karina also gave me easy recipe and meal ideas. Now after just 4 consultations my son has minimal reflux and I feel less overwhelmed and more in control of his dietary needs. Karina is knowledgeable, approachable, professional and practical. Thank you Karina!

Fantastic experience: Karina has been such a great help with figuring out how different foods affect our little girls tummy and intestines. Our daughter has Hirschsprung's disease and Karina's experience of working with children with the same condition has been invaluable.

Fantastic experience: Karina talked to my husband and I over Skype so we could both be part of the discussion after-hours. She was fabulous and provided a delicious nutritional plan to care for the differing needs of children - one with a chronic disease - within our family. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Karina was knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a bunch of good ideas to try out with our 15 month old fussy eater.

Fantastic experience: Karina has been so great at helping us get to the bottom of intolerances for my 6mo, she always puts everything discussed down in an email at the end of our session so I don’t forget anything, and the Skype consults are SO convenient as a mum of three!

Fantastic experience: I recently met with Karina for a second time as I wanted to refine my pre-race diet prior to participating in the Sydney Blackmores Half Marathon. I was quickly reminded of Karina’s extensive knowledge, enthusiasm and sunny manner as she put together a sensible eating plan to support my training and goal in achieving a PB. I was not disappointed! I wholeheartedly recommend Karina’s services as an expert dietician!

Fantastic experience: Karina is simply the best. I contacted her when desperately trying to turn my son's stomach health around and Karina navigated me through the confusing and overwhelming world of nutrition the very same day via Skype! She was kind and not judgmental and very supporting of breastfeeding, I felt so happy with how she treated me. I was able to resolve my son's issues just through her gentle guidance. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Karina has been a great help with my little one. In the short time I spent with Karina, she helped put a plan together to work out our little one's tummy issues and gut health. I am very grateful for all the help and advise. I would highly recommend Karina.

Fantastic experience: Karina was wonderful helping us address my four year old's tummy issues. She was very attentive and responsive listening to us explain her history and our concerns, and gave us a clear and logical plan to get to the bottom of things. Our daughter's issues now seem to have resolved, and we are armed with a greater understanding and depth of knowledge regarding the impact of different food groups in her diet and potential sensitivities. Karina was lovely to work with, and even provided some extra advice which has helped my husband. Thank you Karina!

Fantastic experience: Great amount of knowledge and easy to talk.

Fantastic experience: We recently met with Karina over a Skype consultation to work out a plan for my 4.5 month old baby to start solid foods. After a few rocky early months with a gastro bug and secondary lactose intolerance, I was nervous to start our baby on solids. However, Karina helped us put together a plan and so far we haven't had any tummy issues. Karina is knowledgeable, kind and it was super easy to chat over Skype (especially with a little baby in tow). I'd highly recommend Karina to help with baby gut problems and look forward to meeting with her again.

Fantastic experience: Our son was born small and went through a stage of not wanting to eat his meals. This was especially stressful as we needed him to catch up in weight. We'd been seeking advice from the web and our GPs but nothing was working for us and there is a lot of conflicting advice out there. But Karina was incredible, she was able to speak with us via Skype, late one night (so you don't need to be in Sydney) and gave us so many incredible tips. I thought we'd slowly see results, but it was an instant turn around, which blew my husband and I away. Meal time had been a frustrating time before but now it is SO much more enjoyable! I have recommended Karina to friends in a similar situation since.

Fantastic experience: We saw Karina with our tween girl and older teen boy who were both recently diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. She was equally fabulous with both (and me too!). Karina was engaging, supportive, highly knowledgeable and very easily able to tailor her suggestions to the different “audiences” within the room including our older previously active son with a strong desire to rebuild his recently depleted body (and have an energised mind for his upcoming HSC) and our youngest daughter who is just heading off to high school and particularly needed strategies to help her cope with sourcing a nutritious and sustaining GF afternoon tea before her long afternoons at ballet. Karina was able to devise realistic plans that worked around our son’s concomitant kidney disease, the budget and logistics of a large family and my distrust of the highly processed foods dominating the “gluten free” aisle of the local supermarket :) We couldn’t recommend Karina more highly!

Fantastic experience: Karina helped my 12 year old son work through his chronic gut pain. After many years he is now pain free. I would absolutely recommend Karina to anyone with gut issues. Thanks heaps Karina, Fintan is looking forward to Christmas without pain.

Fantastic experience: I see Karina for my 2.5 yr old and 4 month old both with intolerance issues. She gave us a a great action plan to follow, everything made sense and easy to do. Full of knowledge, very personable and great communication to follow up with. Would recommend highly.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Dr Karina Savage for your child’s dietary needs. As our son is on a vegetarian diet, it was great to get Karina’s advice on balancing his diet with meat substitutes. She was friendly and full of insight. Great to speak to her for peace of mind that you’re hearing from a real expert. She has kids too so it’s great to hear of her own experiences.

Fantastic experience: Karina has helped us so much through managing my daughters CMPI. We felt a little lost on what she could or couldn't eat and how to ensure she was getting enough nutrition. Karina is so personable, helpful and realistic in what is achievable which as a new Mum, was very reassuring because at times I just felt a bit lost. Karina always responded to my emails quickly so I always felt supported. Karina also allowed me the opportunity to continue breastfeeding when other doctors has advised that I stop and I cannot thank her enough for guiding me through how we could continue breastfeeding without flaring up our baby's intolerance. I cannot recommend Karina and Smartbite enough, expert advise and an amazing and supportive service, Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Katrina was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when discussing my baby son's vegetarian / vegan diet options. She provided a lot of useful information on what proteins and sources of iron we should consider to ensure our son gets the nutrients he needs. I would totally recommend Katrina when searching for dietary advice for vegan or vegetarian families.

Fantastic experience: Karina was fantastic in helping me provide healthier options for my children. She really helped my fussy 8 year old make better choices and try a broader variety of food. I would definitely recommend Karina and Smartbite Nutrition to other families.

Fantastic experience: Very informative, my son felt very at ease with Karina. Great first meeting!

Fantastic experience: Karina helped my son with IBS related to a chronic genetic condition and FODMAP issues. Over 5 sessions in 6 months we were looked after with lots of patience, good humour and reassurance and we’ve figured out all the triggers and are back to living a pain-free life. From regular emergency department visits to occasional tummy grumbles and a plan to deal with them = winning for our little family.
