Pediatric & Family Nutrition Counseling
FOR INFANTS, KIDS, & TEENS

We're passionate about helping children to grow up with a good relationship to food and body, and helping parents support their children to be healthy, adventurous, intuitive eaters. We help with the often challenging aspects of feeding the whole family while meeting everyone's individual nutrition needs. Our approach is informed by Ellyn Satter's Division of Responsibility in Feeding which helps children be in-tune with internal appetite cues and achieve health from the inside out. 

​Some of the nutrition topics we work with include:​

• Selective (picky) eating & other feeding difficulties
• Food sensitivities & allergies
• Eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating, orthorexia, & more)
• Breast/formula feeding, weaning & transition to solids
• Weight & growth concerns
• Plant-based diets (vegetarian, vegan, whole food plant based, etc.)
• Special food needs related to neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, etc.)

Please schedule appointments under the child's name and we will factor in the food/nutrition needs of other family members into our recommendations. If those family members have specific questions about their own nutrition, they should also schedule an appointment in their name.

Marlene was so easy to talk to, I was able to open up to her right away. She helped me find solutions for family meal dramas that have been going on for years and years, using practical solutions and also provided two great books to read. I am so happy we found her, it has been life changing for our family!

For a child with special healthcare needs, we need providers who are flexible and can work with and around each other's recommendations as well as understand the complexity of our daily lives. Marlene has been that for us. I have a clear picture of what Mason's nutritional needs are as he advances through different stages within his eating development, as well as how to achieve them. Marlene gives you concrete information that you can take home and apply conveniently throughout the day, which makes life a lot easier. She brings up options for meals, which is extremely helpful. We have been with Marlene for 2 years and have stayed off the g-tube because of her help

​I'm very happy I found Marlene. My 4 year old is such a picky eater by nature and refused to even try anything other than 3 different foods... With only a few sessions, Marlene was able to equip me with great exercises, best practices and habits to get my daughter to try new foods in a fun way without pressure and stress. She was so into it, that she started ASKING me to try new foods!!! Amazing!!! Thank you Marlene. :-)

Marlene was very caring and knowledgeable and I'm very glad I went to see her with my 6 year old daughter. She had great insight into overall diet for my daughter. Thank you so much Marlene.
