Hi, I’m Rachel Surridge, founder of Busy Families Nutrition.
I believe good nutrition should support your life, not make it more complicated.
After more than 20 years working in IT, I followed my passion for health and nutrition and completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Clinical Nutrition).
Today, I help individuals, children and families make sense of nutrition advice and find practical ways to improve their eating habits, support their health and feel more confident around food.
As a parent myself, I understand that real life doesn’t always leave room for perfectly planned meals. My approach combines evidence-based nutrition advice with realistic strategies that fit around your needs, preferences and everyday routines.
I believe nutrition advice should be practical, personalised and grounded in evidence.
There’s no single way of eating that works for everyone. Your health, lifestyle, food preferences, family circumstances and goals all influence what makes sense for you.
Rather than focusing on restrictive rules or unrealistic expectations, I work with you to understand your individual needs and identify achievable changes that can make a meaningful difference.
Whether we’re addressing a specific health concern, supporting your child’s nutritional needs or making family mealtimes easier, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported and confident in your food choices.
As a parent, I know how challenging it can be to balance healthy eating with everything else family life throws at you.
Between school, work, activities, different food preferences and busy schedules, even something as simple as deciding what to cook for dinner can become another source of stress.
I started Busy Families Nutrition because I wanted to make nutrition support more accessible, practical and relevant to everyday life.
I also recognise that families come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re parenting together, managing shared care arrangements or juggling different nutritional needs within your household, finding an approach that works for everyone isn’t always easy.
My goal is to help take the pressure off food and give individuals and families the knowledge, tools and confidence to make positive changes without adding more stress to their lives.
Whether you’re looking for support with your own health, your child’s nutrition or making family meals easier, I’d love to help.
