Feeding therapy helps infants and children build the skills, confidence, and comfort needed to make mealtimes easier and more enjoyable. We support toddlers who are starting solids, children with picky eating or limited diets, and kids who struggle with textures, chewing, gagging, food refusal, or anxiety around eating.

Using a play-based, child-led approach, we focus on helping children feel safe exploring new foods while building the oral motor, sensory, and developmental skills needed for successful eating. Our goal is not just to increase the number of foods your child eats, but to reduce stress around mealtimes and help your family feel more confident and supported along the way.

Helping kids feel confident, comfortable, and curious around food.

Your Questions, Answered

  • Feeding therapy helps children who are struggling with eating, starting solids, picky eating, food refusal, oral motor skills, or sensory challenges around food. Our goal is to make mealtimes feel less stressful while helping your child build confidence and comfort with eating.

  • We work with infants, toddlers, children, and teens depending on their feeding needs. Many families come to us during the transition to purees or table foods, while others seek support for long-term picky eating or limited diets.

  • We commonly support children with:

    • Picky or selective eating

    • Difficulty transitioning to solids

    • Gagging or vomiting with foods

    • Sensitivity to textures

    • Limited variety of foods

    • Food refusal or mealtime anxiety

    • Difficulty chewing or oral motor delays

    • Trouble sitting or participating during meals

    • Sensory-related feeding challenges

  • Sessions are play-based, child-led, and designed to help your child feel safe and successful around food. Depending on your child’s needs, therapy may include sensory exploration, oral motor activities, food play, positioning, and parent coaching.

  • Yes! Parents are an important part of the process. We want you to feel supported and confident carrying strategies over into everyday meals at home.

  • Never. We do not use force, pressure, or punishment around food. Our approach focuses on building trust, reducing anxiety, and helping children feel comfortable exploring foods at their own pace.

  • Every child is different. Some children need short-term support during transitions, while others benefit from longer-term therapy depending on the complexity of their feeding challenges.

  • Some picky eating is developmentally normal, especially in toddlerhood. However, therapy can be helpful when mealtimes become stressful, food variety becomes very limited, growth or nutrition is impacted, or eating challenges interfere with daily life.

  • Absolutely. Every session includes practical, realistic strategies you can use at home to support progress between visits.

  • We take a whole-child approach that looks beyond just the food itself. We consider sensory processing, oral motor skills, nervous system regulation, development, posture, and family dynamics to understand the “why” behind your child’s feeding challenges.

  • Mealtimes went from stressful to enjoyable again. Our son is trying new foods, sitting at the table longer, and feels so much more confident around eating.

    -T.L

  • We felt supported from day one. The strategies were realistic, gentle, and actually worked for our picky eater without pressure or tears.

    -C.W

  • Our daughter used to gag and refuse most foods, and now she’s exploring textures and asking to try new things. We’re so grateful for the care and encouragement we received.
