Feeding Therapy

I value a neurodiversity-affirming approach to the child and food relationship. This means not stigmatizing nor pathologizing how a neurodivergent or disabled person finds nourishment. 

​

Our relationship with food can be affected by oral-motor skills, sensory processing, interoceptive abilities, executive functions, the state of the nervous system, fears and phobias, and early childhood experiences (including ACEs and trauma). 

​

I approach any difficulties with a bottom-up approach by addressing any individual differences that may be impacting the relationship. I also provide developmentally-appropriate education free from shame or judgment. Most importantly, I lead with acceptance and understanding, accommodating and advocating for the nourishment needs of my client.

Food & Friends

Developmental, Relationship-Based, Child-Led Food Exploration Group

Food & Friends Group is great for children who love to explore in a group of like-minded peers. I also provide 1:1 individualized feeding therapy for those who are not a candidate for a group format.
