Bailey Kuran
RD. Registered Dietitian
Hi, I'm Bailey. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 10 years experience focused on Pediatric, Maternal and Family Nutrition. I'm the Mom of an energetic, sweet little man who helps me learn the practical side of feeding a family. After having my son, I quickly realized how easily you can be bombarded with information about how to parent. As a nutrition professional, my goal is to provide reliable nutrition information so parents can feel empowered feeding their families. I also recognize the importance of taking care of yourself. I have experience in adult care, ranging from maternal health to chronic disease management. I look forward to working with you!
About Bailey
I am a Registered Dietitian/ Nutritionist with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science with honours from the University of Alberta. I completed a one year dietetic internship in the Calgary zone. I have a diverse background including hospital, clinic, and community practice, working with both adult and pediatric patients. This includes areas such as General Pediatric Nutrition, Neonatal Intensive Care, Feeding Therapy, Allergies, Neurodivergence, Gastrointestinal Concerns including Gluten Related Disorders, Breastfeeding and Maternal Health, Disordered Eating, and Chronic Disease Management. I am committed to providing reliable nutrition guidance by staying informed on current scientific research and literature. I practice in a manner that is compassionate, empathetic and client-centered. My skillset has continued to grow through lived experiences with my own family. In the first 6 months of my son's life, we struggled with reflux and feeding difficulties, giving me authentic experience of the stress a parent feels when a child does not want to eat. In addition, my spouse requires a gluten free diet, so I am highly knowledgable on this topic. I have tried and tested many recipes, and promise only to share the winners!
