For those who Achieve their Required Food Intake Differently

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is a recognised feeding difficulty - not ‘picky eating’. I support the nutrition side of ARFID using a neuro-affirming approach, working alongside your other providers where needed.

For the parents who know this is more than ‘picky eating’

For every child who’s been called ‘fussy’ and finds eating challenging

I was the child who was called ‘fussy’, and food is still something I navigate myself

Now I’m a Certified Practicing Nutritionist (AARPN) supporting families through it

You don’t have to figure this out alone

For the parent who wants to support their child’s eating challenges without asking them to change who they are.
