- Are you concerned with your child's growth? 
- Are you worried about their food intake and/or the lack of variety in the foods they eat? ( Learn more about our selective eating services)
- Is your child's weight a concern for you?

Let's talk about weight...

- Attempts to 'manage' childhood weight, even with the best-intentions, can send children and teens to eating extremes and damage their self-esteem.

​

- Parents: food policing doesn't work and it's no fun for anybody involved. We teach better ways of helping you guide your kids to eat well and self-regulate. We focus on long-term eating skills that empower kids and support self-esteem. We teach kids intuitive eating!

​

- We take weight neutral approach and never put kids on diets. If your child is having a difficult time knowing when they are truly hungry and when they are truly full, we can help figure out the root cause and, if needed, teach them skills to improve interoceptive awareness (our internal sense for hunger and fullness).

Is your child a picky eater?
