Meet Kristen Smaldone
Hi! I’m Kristen. Certified Integrative Pediatric Dietitian and mom of two kids with feeding challenges.
As both a full-time mom and a full-time dietitian, trust me when I say I get it! I’ve been in the trenches, feeding two young boys and planning daily meals while working and doing all the mom things.
I want to help make this part of your day easier. With more than 11 years of clinical experience and plenty of personal experience, I’ll work with your child and adapt tools and strategies to meet their needs.
Just as importantly, I’ll work with you. Together, we’ll find practical strategies your whole family can get on board with—and actually has time for.
Instagram Tips:
“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.
