Helping children build a positive relationship with food can transform their well-being. My one-on-one food therapy sessions are designed to support children with restricted diets, ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), or significant food aversions, creating a safe and supportive environment for them to explore new foods at their own pace in a relaxed kitchen setting.
How Food Therapy Can Help
For children with food challenges, eating can be stressful—for both them and their families. Food therapy provides a relaxed and practical space where your child can:
- Explore new foods in a low-pressure kitchen setting.
- Build curiosity and confidence around food through hands-on, guided activities.
- Gradually expand the variety of foods they are comfortable with.
- Reduce stress and negative associations with eating.
By focusing on exploration and creating positive experiences with food, food therapy helps your child feel more confident in eating a wider range of foods.

Why Choose Food Therapy?
Eating is a fundamental part of life, but for some children, it can be a source of stress and struggle. My goal is to create a supportive space where your child can:

I believe every child deserves to feel safe and empowered when it comes to food. By working together with parents, I help families turn mealtimes into less stressful, more enjoyable parts of their day.
