Reclaim the joy of eating! Next to breathing, feeding is the first an most important thing we have to do in life, connected to almost every other aspect of life and development, occuring multiple times a day, everyday, across the lifespan. No human behaviour has greater biological & social significance. We're available internationally for symptoms of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), paediatric feeding disorders (PFD), baby bottle or feeding tube dependence (tube weaning), food selectivity ('picky'/'fussy' eaters), mealtime behaviour, skills (utensils, cup drinking, chewing), medication refusal, and pica.
We provide in-home, efficient, tailored, intensive services and virtual/remote consultation using well-established empirically-supported treatments backed by 50 years of evidence.

Intervention is direct with and tailored to you/your child, with lots of successful gradual practice, skill teaching, & encouragement. Services may need to be intensive/multiple meals a day, but can work quickly, & are short-term with big achievements (green veg, cup drinking) & rippling positive changes. Caregivers receive lots of direct support to learn how to keep up the gains by themselves.
