Rachael Wilson
Paediatric and Eating Disorder Dietitian &
Family Feeding Specialist
Rachael is a UK-trained, New Zealand Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of clinical experience. She specialises in paediatric feeding difficulties, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), eating disorders and neurodivergent feeding experiences, supporting children, adolescents, adults and their families.
Her professional background includes extensive specialist training in paediatric feeding and eating disorders, including Responsive Feeding Therapy, the SOS Approach to Feeding, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders and Family-Based Treatment for Anorexia. She is also an Ellyn Satter Institute Affiliate Child Feeding Affiliate with additional training in trauma-informed care, neurodiversity-affirming feeding practices and mindfulness for children.
Drawing on her extensive clinical experience and understanding of nutrition, feeding development, neurodivergence and emotional wellbeing, Rachael developed the ARFID Empowerment Model™ (AEM).
The model integrates evidence-informed approaches within a practical, neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed framework, helping clinicians look beyond food intake to understand the underlying factors influencing feeding and eating difficulties.

Here's what other parents are saying about The Food Tree approach
Isabelle Vincent
“The AEM is hands down the most comprehensive course currently available to professionals in the feeding space. The content is varied, with lecture-style presentations, videos and a membership hub where learning can take place at your own pace.
Rachael’s immense expertise and holistic philosophy are beautifully woven throughout the course. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”
Speech and Language Therapist NZ
“This course takes you on a journey to look at the big picture and explore the deeper questions behind why a child does not eat. It considers questions around identity, belonging, feeling safe and capacity for change.
The course provides a place to explore and challenge assumptions about feeding that can be embedded in professional practice, bringing those working in this field to a fresh understanding of what is needed to effect change.”
“I found the AEM approach open, inspiring and liberating. It creates space to wonder, explore and challenge established ways of thinking. It’s already making me rethink how I interview and work with families.”
