Hey there!

My name is Leah, I’m a Pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist that is credentialed in the US and Canada. I am the owner of Leah Hackney Nutrition with a virtual private practice based in Canada. 

I work with families to provide nutrition guidance from baby’s first solids to raising body confident adolescents. From birth, many children have the natural ability to tune in to their hunger and fullness cues, and eat what their body needs. Through a mindful framework, I guide families to support their kids' natural ability to eat intuitively, and to start sustainable nutrition habits for their kids long-term wellbeing. 

Many parents are concerned about their child’s nutrition and growth. My framework transforms hesitant and picky eaters to adventurous eaters, so parents can relax knowing they are on the right track with their child’s nutrition. 

Modern families understand that our relationship to our bodies and food is important. So many parents have struggled with their relationship with food their whole lives, and they don’t want to pass that struggle on to their kids!

My goal, is for parents to help their kids preserve their intuitive eating skills, and support them in having a positive relationship with food for life.

We as adults know how to eat, but we weren't ever taught how to teach our kids. It's okay if this feels like uncharted territory, because it is! 

I work together with families to create a simple plan on how to help with:

-Baby’s first foods and Infant Nutrition

-Selective eating/Picky eating

-Raising body confident intuitive eaters

 Let's all raise confident curious eaters, who have a healthy relationship with all food!
