Consider scheduling a discovery call if you or your child experience the following:

• you feel stress around mealtimes or feeding your child solid food

• your child is starting solid foods and you are unsure of where to begin

• your child is having a difficult time transitioning to solid foods and/or drinking from a cup

• your child is unable to chew age appropriate foods and/or drink from a cup 

• your child is not able to feed themselves

• your child has been described as a picky eater

• your child is an extremely picky eater, eating less than twenty different foods

• your child gags at the sight or smell of food or during meals when eating

• your child cries, tantrums or melts down before or during meals

• your child refuses to explore new foods or refuses to eat when new foods are present

• your child requires screens, toys or other distractions to eat or come to the table

If any of these scenarios describe your child or family, discuss your concerns with your pediatrician and whether feeding therapy may be able to help.  (click here to schedule a free discovery call)

I use a responsive approach to feeding therapy. While I am trained in a variety of feeding therapy techniques, programs, and philosophies, I believe that a responsive feeding approach most fully aligns with my professional values, most respects the caregiver-child relationship and lived experiences and ultimately promotes a positive, long lasting change. Responsiveness in general can best be described as following a child's cues and responding in a nurturing and supportive way. For feeding therapy, that means observing and responding to a child's verbal and non-verbal cues (behaviors are viewed as communication) and guiding the child to a "just-right" challenge during structured activities and learning opportunities. While the initial sessions will focus on "why" your child is having a difficult time with feeding and eating, during follow-up sessions you will learn how to create learning opportunities, cultivate a sense of curiosity around food and ultimately support your child's internal motivation to make change and progress within a supportive environment.
