Feeding and raising your kids is stressful, especially in today’s world where there are so many opinions and pressures placed on parents. Hello parent guilt! With mixed messages at every turn, it is hard to know what to do and who to trust with your child's best interest at heart. Things become even more complicated if you struggle with your relationship with food. It's hard to know how to proceed.

I know you want to do all the right things to ensure your kids are healthy and to set them up for success. As a parent, you want them to live a meaningful and creative life full of possibilities.

Feeding your child and teaching them how to nourish their bodies is an important life skill that sets the stage for every eating experience. It is something we do a minimum of 3-6+ times a day for the rest of our lives. Feeling confident in your feeding approach is essential. Let's work together to simplify and bring direction to your family's feeding practices and body talk. Individual family nutrition counselling can guide and enhance your feeding confidence. Let's face it: we were not taught how to raise confident intuitive eaters. 

As a mom of three, I get how frustrating and rewarding it can be to feed and nurture your children. We may not always get it right every time, but we must remember we are the biggest influencer in their lives. I will work alongside you and give you the most up-to-date, practical and evidence-based recommendations. You will learn how to foster the intuitive eater within, raising a child who has a positive relationship with food and their body.
