About Me

Hi, I’m Brenda Chilstrom, a pediatric occupational therapist and feeding specialist. My purpose is to guide families through feeding and sensory challenges with compassion, curiosity, and practical strategies that truly work.

“That makes sense!” isn’t just the name of my business; it’s that moment when everything clicks, and things finally make sense for you and your child.

I’m here to help you understand the “why” behind your child’s eating and sensory challenges—so you can stop the power struggles and create moments of connection and curiosity at mealtime.

“Our son was very restrictive with food choices. He is now eating a bigger variety of foods & more willing to try new foods. He is expanding his diet which makes dinner time easier & more enjoyable for our family.”

“Brenda understands the struggles of kids who struggle to eat like my son. The techniques I’ve learned have made a world of difference in our mealtimes. Now, my child is more willing to try new foods and our mealtimes are so much happier now.”

“My child is more adventurous, and our family meals are less stressful. We are so grateful to Brenda for teaching our child a positive approach to difficult foods.”
