Say Farewell to Chaos and Experience Joyful Meals!

Giving you easy-to-implement strategies to confidently navigate mealtimes with fewer meltdowns and more smiles.

When every bite feels like a struggle…

Are endless negotiations at the dinner table leaving you feeling drained and disconnected?

Do you dread mealtimes, bracing yourself for frustration, tears, or outright refusal?

When every bite feels like a battle, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless.

You don’t have to keep struggling. It doesn’t have to feel this hard.

Imagine…

creating a safe, supportive space where mealtimes feel calm and enjoyable — for everyone at the table.

Picture your child exploring new foods with confidence instead of fear.

Imagine laughter replacing tears and your family sharing meals filled with connection, trust, and curiosity.

Let’s create harmony at your table.

A nurturing relationship-centered feeding approach is the most effective way to transform mealtimes into peaceful, joyful moments—free from the pressure, power struggles, and shame that disrupt your family's harmony.

Hi, I’m Brenda, a pediatric occupational therapist and feeding specialist.

I help families like yours find confidence, connection, and curiosity at the table—so eating feels safe, not stressful.

My journey began in early intervention, where I saw how small, nurturing shifts—like improving positioning or letting go of pressure—could open the door to trust and curiosity. Now, I guide families in creating sensory-friendly mealtimes rooted in relationship, where kids feel safe enough to explore—and where progress doesn’t come from force, but from connection.

If your child cries at mealtimes, gags at new textures, or only eats a handful of foods, I want you to know this: You haven’t failed.
This struggle is real—and it’s not your fault. You’ve been working so hard for so long—and it’s okay to want support.

Because when we nourish with love, trust follows. And that’s when true growth begins.

Let’s build safety, trust, and joy at the table—and watch your child’s curiosity (and appetite) bloom.

Curiosity opens the door to joyful eating — even for selective eaters.

Download my free guide and in just minutes you’ll be learning the simple, step-by-step process to unlock your child’s curiosity so you can create mealtimes full of connection.

Your Child Can Build Skills & Confidence…One Bite at a Time

Trying new foods can be tricky, but look what happens when kids get the support they need! With every little bite, they’re discovering, practicing, and figuring things out—on their own terms. Every small win adds up to something big—confidence, independence, and joyful mealtimes.

I believe that your child can have this confidence too!

Are you ready for your child to be this confident around food?

When power struggles leave you drained, I help you build a safe, supportive space where mealtimes feel easier — for all of you.

When trust grows in your relationship, curiosity follows. Let’s nurture both.

“Mealtime used to be a struggle with our son’s restrictive food choices, but now he’s eating a wider variety and is more open to trying new foods. Watching his diet expand has not only made dinner time easier but has also brought more enjoyment to our family meals.”

Hope B.

Why I do what I do…

The truth is, feeding is never just about food.

It’s about nervous systems, relationships, sensory experiences, motor skills, timing, and trust—all working behind the scenes and making feeding way more complicated than it looks on the surface.

I’m an occupational therapist, but more than that, I’m a professional observer of the tiny details that matter: how your child sits, breathes, moves, and connects with you at the table.
Because feeding isn’t just a task—it’s a whole-body, whole-brain, whole-family experience.

I’m here because I believe those moments matter more than reward charts, rigid routines, or getting your child to take “just one more bite.” I’ve seen how much changes when a child feels safe, when a parent feels seen, and when both can finally exhale—together.

Whether I’m sitting beside you in person, guiding you through The Eating with EASE Academy, or supporting you virtually—I’m not here to “fix” your child. I’m here to walk with you as you learn a new way—a way that prioritizes curiosity over compliance, connection over control, and nourishment in every sense of the word.

If no one’s told you lately, I see you doing your best. You’re doing more right than you know.

It’s time for a new approach—one that feels right for you and your child.

Let’s explore what works for your family.
