Dr Melissa Bujtor is a Registered Nutritionist (RNutr) with postgraduate qualifications (Masters) in Human Nutrition and Psychology. Her clinical interests span early years nutrition, women’s health, family feeding and eating dynamics, nutrition across key life stages (including adolescence, adulthood, and midlife), as well as the intersection between nutrition, mental health, and behaviour. She has particular expertise in supporting individuals and families to navigate complex or conflicting advice and to develop a more confident, sustainable relationship with food.

Dr Bujtor is a specialist in paediatric nutrition, feeding, and eating. She works with children and young people experiencing a range of nutritional concerns including dietary difficulties, disordered eating, growth concerns, and eating-related challenges. She uses developmentally appropriate, evidence-based approaches, and is trained in the Sequential-Oral-Sensory (SOS) Approach to Feeding, among other modalities. She is also a certified Master Practitioner in Eating Disorders and Obesity.

Alongside her paediatric work, she has a particular interest in women’s health. Dr Bujtor brings a deep understanding of the biological, psychological and social factors that shape health for women across generations. She recognises the complex realities modern women face in balancing personal wellbeing with professional responsibilities, caregiving roles and other competing demands.

Dr Bujtor is also an active researcher, and published scientist, who holds a PhD in exercise and nutrition science, completed jointly at King’s College London and Deakin University, Australia. Her doctoral research examined the relationship between modifiable lifestyle behaviours, including dietary intake, and mental health and wellbeing in children and adolescents.
