It's Time To Banish Picky Eating Once And For All 

Yes! 

It's wonderful to hear that you're already actively engaged in addressing your child's needs. Our online course is designed to complement and enhance existing therapeutic interventions, providing you with additional tools and insights to navigate the parenting journey.

While the course covers a range of topics related to parenting and child development, we understand that feeding therapy is a specific area of focus for you. Rest assured that our content is designed to be flexible and applicable to various parenting situations.

We encourage you to join the course, as it may offer valuable insights, strategies, and a supportive community that can complement your current efforts. Additionally, we're open to any specific questions or concerns you may have about integrating the course content with your child's feeding therapy.

I want to assure you that our course is designed with flexibility and inclusivity in mind. We understand the importance of tailoring our approach to meet the diverse needs of all children, including those with autism. That's why we have several 1:1 calls, so that we can help troubleshoot along the way and tailor suggestions to the needs of each family. We don't treat diagnoses, we treat the symptoms- regardless of where they originated. So yes, a child with Autism is a perfect candidate for this program.

This course if for children who are eating solid foods, so no infants. This would be ideal for children over the age of 1 and up to teenagers. 

As a speech pathologist for over 12 years, I have seen and experienced so much in this field, but my most extensive continuing education has been in feeding courses. 

Feeding therapy is age specific and area specific, which means that each age group (birth-3, toddler, child, teen) comes with their own challenges and skill sets, as well as each area of feeding, (meaning gut, sensory, oral motor, nutrition), not to mention training in specific modalities and strategies (such as SOS, AEIOU). 

I have completed training across all age groups, and across all modalities, and across all areas. It cumulatively is over 30 courses in feeding. It earned me an award through ASHA for continuing education excellence for the signifiant extensive training I have completed.  

• Gut Testing with Jennifer: A Functional Medicine Approach

  Our Gut Testing goes beyond standard GI testing, offering an in-depth look at your microbiome with a functional medicine perspective. Partner with Jennifer, our NP, CHHC, and Detox Specialist, for a comprehensive process that includes an initial consultation, at-home gut test, and follow-up to review the results.

  Unlike traditional tests what a GI doctor can order, this analysis identifies over 120,000 microbes in your stool, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, archaea, and parasites, providing a detailed view of your gut's health. You’ll gain insights into the good and bad bacteria present and understand how they affect your overall well-being. The test reveals the functional capacity of your gut microbiome by showing which microbial genes are active and if their levels are balanced.

  This mess-free, simple process takes less than five minutes and is perfect for busy parents, especially those wanting to test their children. Though not covered by insurance, this functional medicine approach offers deeper insights into gut health without the focus on medication, helping you address the root causes of imbalances naturally.

  What you’ll learn:

  • Microbiome composition (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and more)
  • Gut health insights: What's normal, what isn't, and what can be improved
  • Your gut’s ability to digest fibers and produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
  • How your gut digests mucus, a key part of the gut barrier

  Take the first step towards healing your child's gut and ruling our gut issues as a reason for food refusal with personalized support and actionable insights!

Yes! The foundation of our therapy is the SOS approach to feeding, which has 130 studies that support the specific techniques and strategies we teach. Our extensive  oral motor training has over 50 studies backing up the techniques we are using. 

Absolutely. We will work with you to ensure we get you a time that works, no matter where you are in the world. 

Yes! 

ARFID is a diagnosis that explains the origins of where the issue with eating has come from, which is trauma. Our program has specific videos and strategies to help with food trauma. 

Yes! 

We treat the underlying causes for the symptoms of food refusal you are seeing. We give you the knowledge to understand the root cause and the tools to remediate it!

That is the best part, we wanted parents to be able to access the course when they can give it their full attention (think after the kids are in bed, or at school, when things are quiet). A new module will open each week, but you can complete the modules whenever you have the time. 

It depends on 3 factors: How quickly you are able to implement the strategies and how long and severe the feeding issues are when you begin! We cannot force you to watch the videos, schedule calls with us, or implement, so that is entirely up to you! For parents who do the work and implement strategies consistently, we expect to see significant mealtime improvements for parents who have followed the suggestions and been on the calls with us. The program is designed to get you to the next level so all the lessons you are learning and specific to the level your child is currently at.

Within the course, below each module, there is a space for parents to comment, ask questions, and respond to others. 

Absolutely!

This program is not really meant to "cure picky eating" In fact, we don't love using that term- it's just what parents associate with the problems they are seeing. Because you would be correct, "picky eating" refers to a developmentally appropriate period of a child's life. Even though I'm sure the advice in this program would work great for a developmentally appropriate 'picky eater' as well, this specific program is meant for children who: 1. Do not move past this phase (the typical ages are 2-3, 5-6, and 11-12 by the way!) and regain typical eating patterns, or 2. Who have had issues with feeding from birth, or 3. Eat an extremely limited diet, often eliminating entire food groups, that affects their nutritional health and overall well being (both child and parent) and 4. Become upset, stressed, and/or anxious during mealtimes. For more information on the differences, visit our blog post about it here

Absolutely!
