Is your child a 'picky eater'?
We help you to remediate your child's reluctance towards new food in a gentle way that works through supporting and empowering you, the parent, through an incredible and unique combination of Mealtime Mindset shifts, sensory problem solving, and oral motor work.

​We give you permission to take control over your child's destructive mealtime habits and achieve ease, joyful mealtimes, and a love of food that can be sustained for a lifetime.

You're a passionate parent that wants the best for your child. 

Maybe you are just realizing there is a problem, or maybe you have tried therapy in the past without success.
​ 
Wherever you are in the journey, I bet YOU ARE READY TO BREAKTHROUGH FEELING...

.....And you already know you should take off the pressure
...you already know to play with food
...you already know how critical is is for kids to eat healthy foods 
....you already know that saying "take a bite" isn't going to work
Despite these facts, you still find it hard to know exactly what to say, how to say it, how to make them see food differently or to not be afraid to try. You still get frustrated as you watch yourself do things you know you shouldn't do and say because you are just so frustrated. 

Which isn't your fault, by the way- 
There is not a lot of help or guidance, even by the people you think should know about these things, like your pediatrician, but they just don't get the struggle

Please don't lose hope though!
Imagine what kind of progress can be made if you had someone guiding you as you step into the driver's seat and take control of your child's mealtimes. 

hey there!

In speaking to several hundreds of families with feeding challenges, these are the 5 most common beliefs that have kept families from seeing progress...
Belief 1

​"I'm not the professional"

While this may be true, you are the parent who feeds the child all the time. 

But the truth is you don't have to be an expert in feeding to implement the strategies! You just need the knowledge and background about what to do and why and take action on that. 
Belief 2

"I don't know where to start- there's so many different opinions"

​There are so many well-meaning people on facebook groups and instagram that give poor advice or advice that isn't right for your child and their unique makeup. 

The problem usually is that there is a focus on WHAT to do- what they have tried- but not WHY. 

When you know the why, you can determine if that would benefit your child or not. 
Belief 3

"I don't have time"

You are a parent, which means you're crazy busy already. Add on top of that a child who is struggling with something and whatever free time you had just evaporated. A struggling child sucks your energy, your time, and your resources. 

It's easy to feel like other things are more important, there's always a small fire to put out- but heres the thing- if your child is an anxious mess around food, it's actually making your days harder than they have to be. 

Having a happy mealtime can actually give you some more headspace, less stress, and in the long run lead to a healthier child. 

​
Belief 4

"I have tried feeding therapy and it didn't work"

As a parent, it's on YOU to find a way to learn and understand what the real issues your child is having are and learning how to help remediate them. When you know the root cause and the why behind what feeding therapists are doing, you accelerate progress and you start to see real meaningful changes in your life.  

No one cares or knows your child as well as YOU do! Having a system that works for your family that you can implement at home means you can better make decisions about what is working and what isn't.

Some therapists are well meaning, but they may not have the extensive training it takes to tease out the real issues, or they may be providing a method that just isn't appropriate for your child. When you take charge and own the knowledge yourself, you can know with confidence "this isn't what my child needs right now" or "this is exactly what they need" so you don't waste time and money on therapy that goes no where. 
Belief 5

"My child won't do it for me, it needs to come from someone else to work"

​While this may seem true, it's not always the case. That is more of a confidence issue parents face of not being 'good enough', but the truth is, you are just as capable of helping your child as anyone. Parents have fed kids for generations without the help of professionals. 

The issue that becomes most important to remediate this is learning what and why therapists do what we do. Implementing the strategies in a way that work for your family is really key and our mindset work is a HUGE part of making this shift from therapist to parent. 

The bottom line is the therapist isn't living with you and you have to implement the strategies at home if you want long term success. "he eats with the therapist" doesn't do you any good but make you feel a little bit better for a brief moment in time that your child ate A FOOD. 

but the #1 issue we see as professionals that hold kids back from seeing progress.....



When the family doesn't know exactly why their child is picky in the first place! They think or have been told its "behavioral" but as you can see, feeding is SUPER complex! Behavior is one small piece of it and it's not one of the main causes like people think! That's right! Your child is NOT doing this on purpose- there's more going on! 

That's where we come in! We can identify the cause of their difficulty for you, so you know where to start and how to go about remediating it! You can't fix what you don't understand! 

but it's not about just making your life easier and happier... 

It's about investing in your child's health and future!

 healthy mind

In a study of 120 children and adolescents, consuming fast food, sugar and soft drinks was associated with a higher prevalence of diagnosed attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Pediatrics, Vol. 139, No. 2, 2017). Maria Izquierdo-Pulido, PharmD, PhD, of the University of Barcelona's department of nutrition, food science and gastronomy, found that children who ate fewer vegetables, fruit, fatty fish and other foods associated with the Mediterranean diet were more likely to have ADHD symptoms. Studies have compared "traditional" diets, like the Mediterranean diet and the traditional Japanese diet, to a typical "Western" diet and have shown that the risk of depression is 25% to 35% lower in those who eat a traditional diet. Scientists account for this difference because these traditional diets tend to be high in vegetables, fruits, unprocessed grains, and fish and seafood, and to contain only modest amounts of lean meats and dairy.

Healthy body     

Poor nutrition and processed foods bothers our tissues. It bothers our arteries, our brains, our pancreas, our liver and our lungs.  That all leads to diseases. It could be in the brain with Alzheimer's, the heart with coronary artery disease, or cancers in other parts of the body.

Children who eat poorly also may become overweight. Complications of being overweight include:
​Gahagan S (2011). Overweight and obesity. In RM Kliegman et al., eds., Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, 19th ed., pp. 179–188. Philadelphia: Saunders Elsevier.

healthy Heart

You have probably heard of a heart healthy diet? That's not just a catchy phrase! There are foods that literally make your heart healthier and foods that make your heart weaker. 

The best diet for preventing heart disease is one that is full of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, fish, poultry, and vegetable oils; infrequent red and processed meats, refined carbohydrates, foods and beverages with added sugar, sodium, and foods with trans fat.

People with diets consistent with this dietary pattern had a 31% lower risk of heart disease, a 33% lower risk of diabetes, and a 20% lower risk of stroke.

The good news is it's never too late to change your eating habits, and no change is too small.

What's Included

what you will learn

I see you

Being a parent is not easy...especially when it feels like your child is struggling and it's out of your control. 

I know it feels like you have been living inside of a stressful circus for far too long. 

You've had to put aside your own well being, your physical and mental health have suffered, and likely your relationships have suffered as well. 

At some point though, regardless of what is going on around us, we have to make a determination that we are going to take back control.

Many of you have told me that the pandemic highlighted how deeply your child is struggling with food because you were around it 24/7. That you need to get a handle on your child's eating issues once and for all, which is a topic i'm super passionate about and I want to help you do just that! I want you to have peace at your kitchen table and enjoyable nights out to eat at restaurants. I know how life changing it is from the countless families we have helped. 

I want you to have peace of mind that you are treating your child's actual issues, not just the issue the therapist you took them to knows how to treat. 

I truly believe that you will see a great transformation and will see this as a worthwhile investment in your child's life and health if you take the leap and commit to this program. I believe in its power to change families and change minds.  

So whether this is the right time or not, I want you to know i'm here for you and cheering for you! 

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your journey!
