I’m not just a pediatric dietitian. I’m also a mom who has lived through the real-life challenges of feeding kids.
Like many parents, I’ve faced picky eating, changing appetites, busy schedules, and the pressure to “get it right.” Over time, I realized something important:
Nutrition knowledge is powerful but how we feed our kids matters just as much as what we feed them.
That realization shaped my work for more than 34 years.
Today, I help parents move away from stress, confusion, and rigid food rules, and toward a calmer, more confident way of raising healthy eaters.
A Whole-Child Approach to Nutrition
At The Nourished Child®, we don’t separate food, feeding, and child development.
We integrate them.
Because raising a healthy eater isn’t just about nutrients. It’s about:
- how your child grows
- how they relate to food
- and how your family experiences mealtime
That’s why my work focuses on three key areas:
- Food (what your child eats)
- Feeding (how you guide eating)
- Child Development (who your child is and how they grow)
What I Believe
- All bodies are worthy of respect and care
- Healthy eating doesn’t require perfection or restriction
- Children thrive when they feel safe, not pressured, around food
- Parents are the most important influence on their child’s relationship with food
- Nutrition should support both physical health and emotional well-being
