Accredited Practising Dietitian
Alessandra Winfield is an Accredited Practising Dietitian (APD) with over 25 years of experience in a wide field of nutrition and health. Her extensive career has spanned hospital settings, community diabetes care, cancer care, and private practice, where she has specialised in pre- and post-natal nutrition, food intolerances, and diabetes management. Alessandra’s passion for understanding the intricate relationship between food and health has led her to constantly evolve and deepen her expertise.
Recently, Alessandra took an exciting step in her journey by joining the Kids Dig Food® team. This new chapter allows her to expand her learning and apply her interest in child nutrition and neurodiversity, a field she has increasingly found rewarding. Her interest in child nutrition stems from her personal experiences in addressing the challenges her own children (now teenager and young adult) have faced with selective eating and neurodivergence. These experiences have shaped her empathetic and nuanced approach to family nutrition, where she blends science with compassion.
In addition to her dietetic work, Alessandra has also made considerable contributions as a secondary teacher in the science and technology space. Her educational background enriches her ability to connect with families and empower them through understanding, guidance, and partnership.
Alessandra’s approach to nutrition and eating concerns is grounded in gentleness and collaboration. She believes every family is unique, and her goal is to empower both parents and children to make safe and informed choices that honour their needs and preferences. With compassion, she helps families build confidence and calmness as they navigate their challenges—no matter how long the journey may take.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Alessandra is a creative soul with hobbies that include photography, vintage op shopping, and sewing. Her interests reflect her love for capturing beauty in everyday moments and finding joy in small, thoughtful details.
