SalaryAbout Lively Eaters Feeding Therapy
Lively Eaters is a private multi-disciplinary Allied Health practice that prides itself on providing quality family-focused therapy for a range of childhood feeding and mealtime disorders. We have Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Dietitians, Infant and Paediatric Mental Health specialists and a Paediatrician who work together striving for the best outcomes for children and their families.
Lively Eaters is based in Kensington and Littlehampton and also provides services state-wide and nationally via telehealth facilities.
