Your child is a whole person with a history, a home, a lunchbox, a nervous system, and a parent who already knows a lot about their child.
That's where we start.
At Juni, we practise functional and integrative nutrition and feeding therapy, which is a fancy way of saying we ask why, not just what. We dig into the cause behind the symptoms. The gut-brain connection, the nutrient gaps, the sensory sensitivities, the sleep-behaviour-food feedback loop that nobody else has connected the dots on yet.
Then we translate all of that into something you can actually do. Not a 47-page PDF you'll never open. A real plan, built around your real family.
Science guides every recommendation. Practicality makes it stick. And we never forget that you're the one doing the school run.
No fear-mongering. No fads. No "just eat more vegetables."
Juni is primarily a telehealth practice, which means expert paediatric nutrition support, wherever you are. But we do offer some face to face appointments and home visits in Brisbane if you’re lucky enough to live in this beautiful part of the world.
No waiting rooms. No navigating school pickup around appointment times. Just focused, one-on-one consultations from wherever your family feels most at ease, and that matters more than you might think.
Children do better when they feel safe. When they're in their own space, surrounded by their own things, there's no performance anxiety, no unfamiliar environment to navigate before we've even begun. We get to see them as they actually are, not a version of themselves quietly holding it together in a stranger's office. That realness changes what's possible in a session.
We also get a window into your world: the kitchen, the routines, the snack drawer, the chaos of an actual Tuesday. That context helps us build recommendations that work in your life, not just in theory.
We work with families across Australia and internationally, because good paediatric nutrition support shouldn't depend on your postcode.
Court Garfoot | Paediatric Clinical Nutritionist & Feeding Therapist
Juni has been more than a decade in the making.
Court's drive to work in paediatrics started before she began her nutrition degree, and it never wavered. Since 2008, she's been working with children across a range of contexts, including neurodiverse children and their families, building the kind of clinical depth and real-world wisdom that only comes from years of actually being with kids.
She's a paediatric clinical nutritionist, a feeding therapist, and a mum. As someone with ADHD and her own experience navigating chronic illness, she built Juni for families who deserve better than generic care.
Juni is the practice she always knew she'd build. And she built it for families like yours.
In ancient Roman mythology, Juno was queen of the gods. Not a figurehead, but a force. She held immense power and used it in service of others: protectress of women through every age and stage of life, guardian of childbirth, champion of the family. She illuminated the tenderness and the weight of raising children. She stood for the depth and importance of this work at a time when the world was quick to overlook it.
That felt right to us.
Because what parents do, the watching, the worrying, the relentless advocating for a child who can't yet advocate for themselves, is profound work. It deserves to be met with equal seriousness. Juni exists to do exactly that. To champion families, to bring real knowledge to the table, and to make sure no parent leaves a conversation feeling dismissed, confused, or alone.
There's also a quiet nod to Junior, because everything we do is built around the small people. The ones still becoming themselves. The ones whose foundations are still being laid.
And yes, there's a soft spot for the movie, Juno. The sharp wit, the killer soundtrack. We see the parallels.
