A 12-week feeding program developed by a Pediatric Occupational Therapist and Feeding Specialist with 27 years of experience.
Licensed in the state of California
This program is designed to help parents understand their child’s eating challenges and develop a tangible, realistic weekly plan to improve feeding skills. It is geared toward all ages, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of foods a child eats, improving nutrition and calorie intake when needed, and establishing a more peaceful mealtime routine for the whole family.
Each week, families receive a new module that includes strategies for feeding challenges, sensory approaches, and behavior techniques to help children make progress. Progress will be measured using three forms, and a weekly feeding plan will be provided for consistency among caregivers. Parents will also have access to group Q&A and problem-solving sessions for 13 weeks, with the option to continue support through a monthly membership after completing the course.
The real work happens at the table between the caregiver and the child. This program follows a slow, structured progression to ensure success, avoiding overwhelming changes that could cause children to shut down. It is designed to be practical and achievable for families, offering "bite-sized" strategies to encourage progress. However, success requires commitment and focused mealtimes.
This program is built on 27 years of experience working with families of children with feeding difficulties and is structured to ensure that parents see progress while using effective strategies. It can be used alongside feeding therapy to enhance results.

Common Questions
Q: What is the weekly time commitment?
A: The weekly education modules take about 20-45 minutes to watch and listen to. The weekly plan at the end of each module takes 10-15 minutes to fill out. The individual support is up to an hour weekly. But the real work is in deciding what to focus on for that week and committing to being consistent. So…. 1-2hours per week plus daily work with your child!
Q: Does this program work with children that don’t have autism but are highly sensitive, have other disabilities or are just challenging feeders?
A: Absolutely! this program is built out of my experience working with a wide variety of children. It is beneficial to children who have sensory strategies, developmental challenges, transitioning from g-tube and other disabilities. It can also be effective for beginning eaters or children that just have feeding challenges. It is very educational, and you will pick and choose, with guidance, which strategies to focus on for your child.
Q: How will I receive individualized support for my child?
A: You will choose what works best for you. Email throughout the week, weekly phone or weekly video call. This program is designed to work with varying lifestyles.
