Lively Eaters Feeding Services Specialist family focused Centre providing Infant and Paediatric Feeding therapy Specialist Infant and Paediatric Feeding Service

31/03/2026

As the original Australian multi-disciplinary feeding centre, Lively Eaters Intensive residential family-centered feeding therapy programs have continued to support the most challenging of eaters and tube fed children.

Our care incorporates responsive feeding principles within sensory and emotionally regulated family mealtime environments to develop enjoyable and functional mealtime behaviours and engagement.

Therapy is designed for your family and for your reality rather than a one-size fits all approach and all members of the family are welcomed.

We acknowledge that “Feeding problems take months, sometimes years to evolve – they will not be ‘fixed’ in one session and are the responsibility of the whole family, not just the child” (Dr Emily Lively).

Talking about 💩 can feel uncomfortable, but not to a dietitian.

Poo gives us insight into what's going on inside your child's body - priceless!

Our paediatric dietitians can help you work out what is 'normal', what isn't, and help find the possible reasons why your child is struggling.

This Gut Health Month, if something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut and reach out to a dietitian.

There's no single 'ultimate gut health diet', but there is plenty of evidence about what works, and a dietitian can help you find sustainable, personalised, strategies that support long-term wellbeing.

✨️Our Therapy Assistants are the backbone of our clinics ✨️

Each week starts with a trip to the supermarket to collect the weekly shopping, but it doesn't stop there!

They ensure that each therapy room is sparkling between sessions, meal preparation and stock rotation are handled with ease, and these legends are the masters of the details - ensuring that each client (and family!) have their needs met, allergens and all!
🥛🍞🥚

They keep us moving and we couldn't do what we do without them! 💙

Next time you see one of our friendly TA's in the kitchen or hallway, be sure to say hello 👋

Our Story

“ One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.” Luciano Pavarotti

Lively Eaters is a family owned and operated centre, whose values and principles are grounded in providing evidence based functional and practical support and advice to families with children who have challenging eating. Our therapists have many years experience with child development, family dynamics, troubled/challenging eating as well as specific expertise in sensory processing, diet and nutrition, oral motor development, parent/child interaction and emotional communication development. All of these factors must be considered when working with feeding disorders - whether they be children who are tube fed, children who are ‘fussy’, children with lifelong genetic and medical conditions, children with neurological impairment, children with sensory processing challenges (such as Autism, Sensory processing disorder) or just children/babies who are not quite developing as you thought they might and need a little more guidance to work it out.

Lively Eaters has been providing quality support to families in Adelaide, South Australia and across Australia for the last 10 years. Our values of empathy, reliability, knowledge and flexibility allow families to develop at their own achievable pace.
