OHbaby! is pleased to welcome her as our Expert Nutritionist.

While Leanne has been in health and education for many years, it was the birth of her first son, Zach, that sparked an even deeper interest in childhood nutrition. Five years on, Leanne now finds her skills and experience in this area very sought after.
