When families and couples want professional support to make mealtimes more calm, and to learn about health and nutrition from a non-diet perspective, they seek out a non-diet dietitian! 

 

Family nutrition education and coaching sessions take each person into account and work with your family's preferences and routine to create a plan that works for you. We will focus on a sustainable way to choose what to eat without rules, food fights, or the 'clean plate club'. We lead with compassion, empathy, and an open mind to find an eating pattern that is practical for your family. Building a sustainable lifestyle takes a village, and it's so much easier when you have support. 

 

Nutrition education is much more understandable when you aren't searching for a needle in a haystack on the internet! Through the support of our Registered Dietitians, family nutrition education and coaching will be tailored to your family's needs. Our team has over a decade of experience working with families and couples to navigate their nutrition, and we'll happily bring our years of expertise of building peaceful and intuitive mealtimes to your family table. The Intuitive Eating framework will be sprinkled into sessions, and it will be based on the family unit vs. the individual. 

​​

This would be a good fit for families and couples who desire to make mealtimes less chaotic and more productive. Yourself and your loved ones would be able to work through challenges and work toward success together.​​​

​

Family sessions take the whole crew's preferences into consideration, but education is primarily with the adults. Sessions can include, but are not limited to:​

• Safe baby-led weaning for infants starting solids

• Independent eating for babies, toddlers, and kids

• Navigating selective and picky eating for all ages

• Sustainable meal planning for families and couples 

• Kitchen inventory, meal planning, and cooking skills sessions

• Working with neurodivergent folks and a flexible or structured routine

• Eating disorder recovery parent/caregiver sessions
