Raising Empowered Eaters

Service Description

As an intuitive eating counselor, I offer specialized services to parents seeking guidance on how to approach mealtimes and reduce power struggles during feeding. I understand that feeding children can be a challenging task, often accompanied by resistance, picky eating, and battles for control. Through compassionate and evidence-based counseling, I provide parents with practical strategies and support to create a positive and nurturing feeding environment. During our sessions, we will explore the principles of intuitive eating and how they can be applied to the unique needs of children. I will help you understand the importance of honoring your child's hunger and fullness cues, fostering a healthy relationship with food, and promoting autonomy in their eating choices. I will guide you in developing effective communication techniques to encourage open dialogue and understanding between you and your child during mealtimes. We will address common feeding challenges, such as introducing new foods, dealing with food aversions, and navigating the role of sweets and treats in a balanced diet. We will also discuss our expectations as parents and what would be a realistic approach to help meet everyone's needs (our need to nurture them and their need to assert their autonomy). Through a collaborative approach, we'll work together to identify any underlying dynamics or power struggles that may be contributing to feeding difficulties. I will provide you with practical tools to establish structure and routines around mealtimes while allowing your child to have a sense of autonomy and ownership over their eating experience. My goal is to empower you as a parent to trust your child's innate ability to regulate their own food intake, promoting a healthy relationship with food and fostering a positive body image from an early age. By incorporating the principles of intuitive eating into your parenting approach, we can reduce mealtime stress, strengthen family bonds, and create a nurturing environment where children can develop a lifelong love for nourishing their bodies. Please note that my services as an intuitive eating counselor for parents are not a substitute for medical or psychological advice. If your child has specific dietary or medical concerns, it is important to consult with appropriate healthcare professionals alongside our counseling sessions. *Price includes 3 group sessions of 1.5 hrs long each.
