FAQs

The timeline for receiving your roadmap depends on how quickly you complete the required forms (such as sensory profiles, food inventory, and case history) and schedule your meeting. Parents who are prompt in submitting the information can usually expect to receive their roadmap within a week or two following our initial meeting. Once we have everything, we’ll move forward with the review and schedule a follow-up meeting to go over the results and answer any questions you may have.

The oral motor assessment can take around 20-30 minutes during your meeting if your child can participate. If your child cannot participate, we’ll gather important insights through video submissions of eating and photos of the mouth and oral structure. This step allows us to assess your child’s oral motor function even without direct participation.

• Yes! If your child is younger or non-verbal and cannot participate in the oral motor exam directly, we can use video submissions to assess their eating and oral structure. This allows us to make informed conclusions and create a personalized plan for moving forward.

After you receive your Personalized Mealtime Roadmap, we will schedule a follow-up meeting to review the report and answer any questions you may have. At that point, you’ll also be given a clear, actionable plan to help your child begin to make progress toward more positive mealtimes. Many parents choose to move forward and get more support from us.

Your child’s involvement depends on their age and ability to follow directions. For the oral motor exam, if your child can participate, we’ll complete it during our meeting. If not, we’ll gather essential information through video and photos to assess their eating and oral structure.

Yes! After receiving your roadmap and complete the 8 implementation sessions, ongoing support is available, and expected. We meet twice a month to ensure that your child is progressing and adjusting the plan as needed. We focus on what’s working and what might need tweaking to keep moving forward. This is $400 per month and you can cancel anytime you feel your child has met their goals... it can take as little as 2 months or as long as 1 year it all depends on how many things we need to address and how much time you put into this process each week. 

We get this question a lot — and the honest answer is: not as much as you think.

What it does take is consistency.

Here’s what we ask of you:

• ⏱️ At least 5 minutes each day to intentionally support your child’s eating — through play, practice, or small exposures

• 🍽️ At least 1 shared meal per week where your child isn’t eating alone

• 🎥 Time to watch short training videos — most are just 3 to 15 minutes, and can be watched on-the-go using our app (car rides, dishes, school pickup... we’ve made it easy)

• 🔁 Biweekly meetings with your feeding coach for 30 minutes.

This isn’t a full-time job — but it does require your focus.

If you’re ready to be intentional, we’ll guide you the rest of the way.

No — because your Roadmap is built from your child’s full picture, including gut testing and sensitivity results.
We want to begin coaching with all the data so we can create the fastest, most accurate progress possible.

No.
The food sensitivity test is a quick finger prick, and the gut health test is a standard at-home stool sample.
Both are parent-led, straightforward, and come with clear instructions.

Maybe — it depends on what tests you had done and when.
If your testing was completed through the exact same labs we use, within the last 6 months, then yes — we can use those results.
You would not need to repeat them.

If your testing was done elsewhere, we still need to complete our specific panels.
Different labs use different markers, methods, ranges, and technology — and the reports are not interchangeable.
Our entire Roadmap is built around the consistent data from the labs we partner with.
This ensures your plan is accurate and nothing gets missed.

If your labs are older than 6 months, we also need updated data because the gut and immune system can change significantly over time — especially with picky eaters, food restrictions, illness, stress, constipation, or recent antibiotics.

For those reasons, the testing is included for every child, and we’re not able to discount the Roadmap by removing them.
It’s a required (and critical) part of understanding the full picture.
