“I’m so happy to be able to enjoy mealtime again. Working with Kristen is easy and judgement-free.”

Kristen has completely changed how my son and our family view and approach mealtime. My son has gone from underweight to a healthy weight and our mealtime anxiety/pressure is gone. I’m so happy to be able to enjoy mealtime again. Working with Kristen is easy and judgement-free. She is always accessible, which has been an amazing plus for me. I’m able to message her about specific situations in between sessions which is incredibly helpful. I am also always impressed with the wealth of knowledge Kristen has about pediatric nutrition, I’ve learned so much from her and continue to learn. I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone struggling with pediatric nutrition.
