Nurturing Confident Eaters, One Bite at a Time
I offer comprehensive feeding therapy that addresses the whole child—from sensory sensitivities to oral motor skills—helping families transform mealtime challenges into joyful experiences.
Understanding Feeding Challenges
Feeding difficulties affect more families than you might think. Whether your child is a picky eater, struggles with textures, has difficulty chewing or swallowing, or shows aversion to certain foods, these challenges often stem from underlying oral motor, sensory, or developmental factors that can be addressed through targeted therapy.
Our Holistic Feeding Approach
At Mini & Myo Mouthz, feeding therapy goes beyond "just eat more vegetables." We examine the complete picture: oral motor strength and coordination, sensory processing, breathing patterns, tongue posture, and even family mealtime dynamics. This comprehensive approach ensures lasting progress that supports your child's overall development.
Signs Your Child May Benefit from Feeding Therapy
Extreme selectivity with foods (eating fewer than 20 foods)
Gagging, choking, or vomiting during meals
Difficulty transitioning to new textures or age-appropriate foods
Taking longer than 30 minutes to complete meals
Avoiding entire food groups or textures
Loss of previously accepted foods
Failure to gain weight appropriately
What to expect from feeding therapy
Our mobile concierge service brings therapy directly to where your child feels most comfortable. Sessions include comprehensive oral motor assessments, sensory exploration activities, graduated exposure techniques, and parent coaching to ensure strategies work seamlessly into your daily routine.
Parent Partnership & Education
Successful feeding therapy requires partnership between therapist and family. You'll receive practical strategies, meal planning guidance, and ongoing support to build your confidence as you help your child develop a healthy relationship with food.
