CONFIDENTLY FEED YOUR TODDLER, MANAGE PICKY EATING AND RAISE A HEALTHY, ADVENTUROUS EATER
[without the agitating mealtime battles, stress over what they're eating, or confusion around all those "what-do-I-do-when?" scenarios]
If you’re the parent/caregiver of a toddler, soon-to-be toddler or even of a school aged child who's looking to achieve stress-free, healthy mealtimes while squashing picky eating in its tracks, then you already know that you need a step-by-step plan.
You already know that one-off-tips from a blog or Instagram page just isn't going to cut it anymore.
And I know there's no need to ramble on about how working with an expert and mom who's "been there, done that" will give you the know-how to turn your toddler into an adventurous eater.
In fact, you probably have already been telling those close to you that you just want answers and you don't want to wait to see "if this is just a phase..."
HERE'S WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW
Even if you've been lucky enough to have a few tips and tricks work for a few meals (THANK GOD)...having a holistic, step-by-step approach that helps you see the whole picture can:
-
Give you the confidence of being your own feeding expert
No more second guessing yourself. With expert strategies and a plan, you will know what and how to best feed your toddler without any of the mom guilt, constant questioning and feelings of regret. -
Consistently allow for stress-free meals
You can actually look forward to coming to the table with your child. Mealtimes will be happy times where you can bond together and focus on enjoying each other's company instead of focusing on what is/isn't being eaten!). Those happy family moments don't just exist on TV! -
Reverse picky eating and achieve peace of mind
Seeing the whole picture and tackling picky eating at the source, from many angles, means you can actually reverse picky eating instead of hoping for one good meal here and there. You can finally rest assured your child is in good health, knows their body and is getting all they need to grow well! -
Lead to having an adventurous eater for life
Sitting down to one meal for the whole family (that you actually enjoy too!) will be a thing. Going to cool, new restaurants with your toddler and not having to rely on a kids' menu will also be a thing! You can finally rest assured that your toddler will have the foundation to grow into a competent eater, even into adulthood!
Even though the motivation to instill healthy eating habits and manage your toddler's picky eating is clear, the path to actually doing so is anything but.
Raise a happy, healthy eater? Great!
Now how on earth do I start?
Maybe you've already been actively trying to set up or change the way your toddler eats and have found yourself resorting to catering to your toddler, begging, pleading or heck...even bribing them to eat differently!
You've tried making food look fun, offering them treats to eat something, or ipads to stay at the table, and exposed them to a food for what seems like the hundredth time! You search for ways to get veggies or protein into favourite foods and are downright fed up with cooking healthy meals only to have them refused (or thrown) in a matter of seconds.
Perhaps you even know some of the "should's and shouldn'ts" around feeding, implemented tips from experts on Instagram and despite your best efforts, still aren't sure of where you're going wrong.
And you swear...if you hear them begging for a snack after a meal one more time...arghhh!!
Here's why most great parents find this process to be so stressful and out of their hands:
Without one person (an actual expert with experience) to lay out the WHOLE picture of what and how to feed your toddler, it's all just a bunch of random things you're trying. There's nothing that helps you connect the dots. Nothing that sticks. And God knows...one thing you're doing in one place may be completely counteracting what you're doing in another...and you wouldn't even know it!
Here's how this can make things harder:
The more stressed you are as a parent around meals, the more your toddler feels it and puts up a fight around food. The less confidence you feel around how you feed, the less confident your toddler will feel around how they eat.
The good news...change is 100% possible and it starts with you!
Finding the missing piece to what you've already tried is usually quite clear once you have the whole picture. Then stress levels can go down, confidence can go up and change can start to happen little by little (even when you think it's too late)!

"I feel like we have done a complete 180 in such a good way! She has eaten so well this week, trying new foods, not throwing food and gobbling everything we gave her up! Even at daycare it was the first week she ate really good every day! The tips in this program really helped and I couldn't believe the immediate results!"

Frequently Asked Questions
Because this is an online course, you set the pace for how long you would like to spend on the material. There are 6 1/2 hours worth of material in the entire course, broken down into 10-20 minute lessons for easy learning whenever you want!
I recommend watching 1-2 lessons per week, and implementing the action steps at the end of each lesson intentionally. Then, jump into the clients only support group, share your experiences, ask your questions, and then move onto another couple lessons the week after! Over the course of 4-8 weeks, you can have completely transformative mealtimes and the most solid foundation set when it's all done step by step.
You have lifetime access to the entire course! If you ever need to brush up on material or would like to retake it at any point in the future, you can! I am always updating the course with new material, lessons, resources and extra support in the client support group. You get ALL these updates for life and can use the information for any new siblings to come!
I’m a registered pediatric dietitian and feeding expert who has been practicing in the field for over 11 years. I graduated from a 4 year science degree at Dalhousie University with a major in Neuroscience, and then went on to complete 5 years of Applied Nutrition and Dietetics including a one year internship from Mount Saint Vincent University.
I’m also a mom of two boys and have gone through the process of feeding fussy toddlers myself. I have felt the stress and worry over how to handle this phase, and was able to overcome it and raise two very adventurous and pleasant eaters who LOVE mealtimes and a great variety of food. Combined with the hundreds of clients I’ve worked with through private practice, I know the ins and outs, tips & tricks, plus ALL the latest evidence based research and professional feeding strategies to allow me to teach this information with you with full confidence!
This entire course is offered for the price of less than ONE private session with a dietitian. The amount of info and the level of care put into this course equates $1800 worth of counselling and resources. Because my goal is to get this into the hands of as many parents who need my help as possible, I'm making this extremely affordable for everyone.
Not only the monetary value, but the value of sitting down to stress free meals with your toddler, knowing you will enjoy them wherever you go, can eat all the same foods, and that you are confidently feeding and raising them in a healthy way is invaluable.
As one mom who recently took the course put it..."Can I say...this is the best money I have ever spent?! This toddler feeding class is worth its weight in gold! Thank you so much - I have already seen improvement in just ONE day!"
Because I’m a mom too and want you to walk away feeling satisfied with the content in this course, I offer a 100% money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the content of this course. I am able to see that you watched the videos and if you can show me that you put in the work to use the resources and implement the tips, I will gladly grant you a full refund. All you need to do is let me know within 60 days of purchasing and show me why you felt the content was not complete.
This course isn't for someone who isn't ready at this time to put in 15-30 minutes a week to watching a couple lessons, challenge themselves to try new things, or who isn't coming with an open mindset. The majority of work with feeding picky toddlers (or preventing picky eating) actually comes from the parents believe it or not! It takes some persistence, a willingness to go through each lesson step by step and implement action as you go. That is....if you want to see some real and lasting change and find the joy in eating with your toddler!
The course is called "Feeding toddlers" (technically ages 1-3), however, the content and strategies work for kids up to age 7 or 8! So much so that I included some information where relevant to use for older kids as well! I use these strategies still with my boys and they work like a charm ;)
For setting a solid foundation and preventing picky eating, I recommend parents take the course right around 10-12 months of age, and implement the strategies right away or as soon as the first signs of pickiness start to appear. You'll know how to handle every situation like a pro, right from the start. And remember, course access never expires so if you get it to prepare yourself, you can always go back and revisit it anytime you need a refresher!
"This course is EVERYTHING! At first I kept thinking this was all just a phase that would pass, but as things got worse I decided to take this course to see what I could tweak. Turns out there was so much I didn't realize I could be doing (and not doing!) that made an immediate difference in how my boy experienced mealtimes! Everyone says how he is such a good eater now and as a family we can finally enjoy mealtimes in peace!"
