Your child isn't being difficult. Something is getting in the way.

The Nourished Pathway is a 3-month program for kids with picky eating, constipation, and growth concerns.

We look at the whole picture - not just what's on the plate, but what's happening inside their body - so they can Eat, Grow, and Thrive™.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

You might be here if…

🤍 Your child eats a very limited number of foods (sometimes fewer than 10)

🤍 Fills up on snacks, won't touch dinner

🤍 Constipation keeps coming back and you're tired of Miralax being the only answer

🤍 You've tried every trick, tip, and strategy - and you're running out of ideas

🤍 You're noticing mood swings, low energy, and poor sleep - and wondering if what they're eating has something to do with it

🤍 You’ve been told it’s “normal,” but your gut says something is not right

ONE CONNECTED PLAN

The Nourished Pathway: 3 months. One connected plan. Real progress.

Your roadmap to helping your child Eat, Grow, Thrive

Most families come to me bouncing between specialists — a feeding therapist here, a pediatrician there, a GI doctor when things get bad enough. Everyone's looking at one piece. Nobody's looking at all of them.

The Nourished Pathway is built around one idea: eating, digestion, and growth aren't separate problems. They're connected.

  • Picky Eating/Selective Eating icon

    Eat

    Picky eating · Feeding difficulties (PFD/ARFID) · Tube feeding

    Your child eats the same handful of foods (and it's been this way for a while). Whether they're picky eaters, avoiding whole food groups, anxiety around trying new foods, or dealing with something more complex like ARFID or PFD, we figure out why eating feels hard and create a plan that increases variety. We include what's happening in the gut, the nervous/sensory system, and the body - not just at the table. No pressure, no bribing, no more mealtime battles.

  • Weight concerns icon

    Grow

    Underweight · Poor growth · Failure to thrive · Low appetite

    Whether your child has low appetite, keeps falling off the growth curve, or just isn't gaining the way they should — we look at the full picture to understand what's actually getting in the way. Then we create a personalized plan to support healthy weight gain and better nutrition (even when labs look "normal" and you've been told to wait and see).

  • Functional Nutrition/Testing

    Thrive

    Digestion · Constipation · Energy · Overall health

    When a child is truly thriving, you feel it - in their energy, their mood, their focus, and how they move through the day. Constipation, anxiety, SIBO, brain fog, poor sleep - these aren't separate problems. They're usually connected. We get to the root of what's going on so your child feels better from the inside out. When deeper answers are needed, we use stool and micronutrient testing to guide what's next.

What this can look like for your family...

✨ Mealtimes feel calmer. Not perfect — calmer. Enough to change the whole evening.

✨You stop dreading dinner before it even starts

✨ Your child tries new foods, at their own pace, without the meltdowns

✨ Regular bowel movements, naturally, without relying on daily medication

✨ You finally understand what's been going on inside their body — and why

✨ You stop second-guessing every meal and bite

✨ Your child has more consistent energy throughout the day

✨ You feel confident making decisions about your child's nutrition, because now you have a real picture

FAQ

  • Most nutrition support focuses on what your child is eating. I look at why eating feels hard in the first place. My background spans both feeding therapy (the how of building skills and comfort with food) and functional nutrition (the why behind GI issues, nutrient deficiencies, and growth concerns), which means I'm connecting dots that often get missed when families are bouncing between specialists.

    But honestly, the biggest difference is the relationship. Over three months, I get to know your family, routines, mealtimes, and what actually feels realistic for you & your life. I'm not handing you a plan and sending you on your way. I'm here to figure out what's actually going on, stay in your corner, and help you build a path forward that works for your specific kid. That relationship and continuity is what makes this work when everything else hasn't.

  • We are not directly contracted with any insurance companies; however, we can provide you with a Superbill to get your sessions reimbursed directly. You can call your insurance company ahead of time to find out if, and how much, will be covered. The codes that would be billed are:

    Diagnosis Code:

    • Z71.3 Dietary Counseling and Surveillance

    CPT Code(s):

    • 97802 - Medical nutrition therapy; initial assessment and intervention, individual, face-to-face with the patient, each 15 minutes

    • 97803 - Medical nutrition therapy; re-assessment and intervention, individual, face to face with the patient each 15 minutes

    Testing is not reimbursable by insurance.

  • Yes, absolutely! You can use the credit card information on your HSA or FSA in place of a credit card payment to cover the cost of nutrition counseling and testing.

  • For motivated older kids (12+), I love involving them directly.

    For kids who aren't ready or don't think anything is wrong, we work with parents on the mealtime environment, hunger cues, and optimizing nutrition and gut health strategies you can implement to support them while we wait for readiness.

    Any parent or guardian who is involved in feeding their child is welcome and encouraged to be present during the sessions.

  • Most likely, yes.

    Over the course of my career, I've worked with 1200+ families navigating everything from picky eating and selective eating disorders (PFD and ARFID), tube feeding and tube weaning, chronic constipation and GI concerns, poor growth and failure to thrive, nutrient deficiencies, and neurodivergent and neurotypical kids alike who need a different approach to food.

    I also support medically complex kids who need help with tube feeding, blended tube feeding, and weaning — and kids who've been in feeding therapy for months or years and still aren't where they need to be. If there's no diagnosis yet but something clearly isn't right, that counts too.

    If your child is struggling with food in any way, chances are it's something I've seen before.
