See how we’ve helped families overcome feeding challenges and create joyful mealtimes.
“Jean was instrumental in helping my son overcome his extreme oral aversion… Her confidence and vibrant personality was a breath of fresh air… I really appreciated how easy she was to get in touch with any time I had a new feeding concern.“
“My special needs daughter was diagnosed with an unsafe swallow... We worked with Jean… for bottle feeding and then for introducing solids. My daughter is now two and can eat any texture, and we have no swallowing or choking concerns.”
“Jean was amazing with my 3-month-old in diagnosing her with bottle aversion and coaching us through the tough process of overcoming it… Highly recommend.“
The Struggle
Mealtime Meltdowns & Picky Eaters
Feeding difficulties can turn mealtimes into battlegrounds, causing stress, frustration, and worry for both children and parents. Inadequate nutrition, growth concerns, and the emotional toll of constant struggles can be overwhelming.
Many parents find themselves trapped in a cycle of ineffective solutions, feeling isolated and unsure of where to turn.
Feeding Difficulties
Your child struggles with swallowing, chewing, or transitioning to textures, impacting their ability to eat safely and enjoy mealtimes.
Difficulties with swallowing or chewing can create choking hazards and increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia, posing serious health risks.
Feeding struggles can lead to frustration, anxiety, and a negative association with food, hindering your child’s social and emotional development.
Oral Aversion or Sensory Sensitivities
Mealtimes are met with resistance or distress due to your child’s sensitivities to certain textures, tastes, or smells.
Extreme food selectivity and sensory sensitivities can severely limit nutritional intake, potentially impacting growth and development.
Mealtime battles and anxiety surrounding food can create a stressful environment for the whole family, affecting overall quality of life.
Picky Eating
Your child refuses most foods, leading to mealtime battles and worries about nutrition.
Limited food choices can lead to nutritional deficiencies, affecting your child’s growth, energy levels, and overall health.
Picky eating can limit your child’s growth, development, and social interactions, causing stress and anxiety for the whole family.

Case Study
From Picky Eater to Adventurous Foodie
The Challenge:
Sarah, a 4-year-old girl, was an extremely picky eater, consuming only a handful of foods and refusing to try anything new. Mealtimes were a constant battle, filled with tears and frustration for both Sarah and her parents.

The Approach:
Jean implemented a personalized, play-based therapy plan that focused on:
- Sensory exploration: Introducing new foods through play and sensory activities, making mealtimes fun and engaging.
- Positive reinforcement: Celebrating Sarah’s successes and building her confidence around trying new foods.
- Parent education and support: Equipping Sarah’s parents with strategies to create positive mealtime routines at home.
