Hi, I’m Brenda — pediatric OT, feeding specialist, and your guide to calmer, more connected mealtimes.
What if food felt like fun instead of a fight?
I’ve spent years in the trenches with families just like yours. I’ve seen the worry in parents’ eyes when their child refuses food for the hundredth time. I’ve heard the frustration, the guilt, the desperation of trying everything and feeling like nothing works. And I want you to know — you haven’t failed, and you’re not alone.
When children feel safe and free to explore food without pressure, their natural curiosity comes alive. Curiosity opens the door to variety—building confidence and, eventually, the volume they need to grow.
Through playful, no-pressure exploration, I help families create safe, sensory-friendly opportunities where curiosity leads the way—and eating naturally follows.
Let’s build safety, trust, and joy at the table—and watch your child’s curiosity (and appetite) bloom.
You Have the POWER to Help Your Family Flourish— Here’s How:
Your child has strengths! Let’s use what they’re already great at to support the areas where they need a little extra help.
Every child loves to play! Let’s build confidence and new skills through joyful, low-pressure play.
Compassion first, always. Your family’s challenges deserve understanding, not judgment — together, we’ll create a safe, supportive path forward.

"The twins both had multiple feeding and sensory issues.
As a mother, I now know exactly what sensory activities will help to regulate each of them, since they respond to sensory input differently.
Both twins have expanded their diets and no longer gag at every meal.
Brenda has a huge knowledge base and is skilled at what she does. She gave me hope, and she gave my twins a future."
