Food Ease

A trip down memory lane 🥹🥹

I love the work I get to do and I’m on a mission to help people learn more about feeding therapy!

Not only is it the work I love most as an SLT, but so few people know it exists which means families don’t get the help they need and people who would love to do this work don’t know it’s an option!

This is where I came from and why I do what I do. This is me - a little bit older than I was when I decided on the career, but just as eager to make a difference! 🥰

I am so thrilled to announce the launch of our Food Ease: Food Explorer Cards Game!! 🥹

A fun, easy game which helps picky eaters make real progress!
🍓 over 50 food exploration cards
🍏 3 levels so you can meet your food explorer where they’re at and build from there!
🍒 multi-level cards so the whole family can play
🍊 sensory cards so you can help your food explorer dive into the textures, smells, tastes, sights and sounds of new foods

This game has been a labour of love and an idea I’ve wanted to bring to fruition for YEARS! An affordable, user friendly way for families to get real, evidence-based feeding strategies right in the palm of their hands! 🤩

🩷 easy to use (we’ve taken all the thinking out of it so you can just grab and go)
🩵 digital download available now and (I can’t believe I’m saying this) physical decks on pre-order for shipping mid-October
💛 ideal for families, teachers, other speech-language therapists who need some fresh ideas in their therapy room!

For anyone out there who needs to know they’re not alone 🩷 I hope u know ur doing a great job no matter how hard things might feel rn 🫶

Everyone has their own flavour of working as a feeding therapist. Mine is ALWAYS going to be grounded in empathy, connection, evidence, and bringing back joy! 🥰☀️💛 when I was initially learning about adult coaching, I sometimes questioned whether I needed to be firmer from an accountability perspective in order to help my families make progress. But the more experience I gain the more my empathy first approach is affirmed as the right way of practicing for me ❤️ and in so many ways it helps us make better progress due to preserving the therapeutic relationship and the way a relationship first approach eases anxieties which can often be an exacerbating factor in using less optimal feeding practices during mealtimes! That’s a win win baby 🏆

Teddy Bear’s Picnic 🧸🧺🤎🍩 meat and veggies are tough textures for our picky eaters. If it feels like it’s just u struggling with this, I promise it’s not 🫶 keep on keepin’ on, ur doing better than u think 🥰

Yay!!!! I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time but it’s always ended up in the too hard basket 🧺 please share around to any of ur Queenstown friends who are finding feeding tricky 💚 (the age range is just a guide - if we have enough kids in a variety of ages and stages I’ll organise multiple groups accordingly)

Hope this gives u a giggle 🤪 if ur in the trenches feeding ur little one, just know it doesn’t last forever 💚 sending love!

A little example of food chaining using veggie straws as our jumping off point 💌🌟

Food chaining is a really helpful technique where we offer new foods which have at least one shared characteristic with an already accepted food (e.g. same shape, same texture, same colour) 🤓

Hope this provides some fresh ideas for the upcoming grocery shop hehe

P.S Ur doing better than u think u are! ❤️

A fun challenge to try over silly season - let ur picky eater coach u thru eating one of the foods u don’t like!! 🫣😬

This role reversal can be super helpful and also serve as a nice reminder that although picky eater’s might have a very restricted diet, we all have our own preferences and quirks! And we often don’t like pushing our boundaries much either hahaha

Good luck out there 💚🎄

I finally got around to putting our Sensory Food Mat on our website for purchase (linked in bio)! I also had a lot of fun marketing a kids’ sensory food mat as if we are some kind of beauty brand hahaha ✨💛⭐️

My next post will be a video tutorial showing how u can use the mat to have conversations about food that help picky eaters 🥰

The sensory mat is $5, digital download, ez pz lemon sqz 🍋🍋🍋

If ur wanting an easy tool to help ur picky eater approach foods w curiosity and neutrality then this is it!

If ur introducing ur toddler to new foods and want to encourage their openness and exploration then this is it too!

If ur gunna have a kids table at Xmas and have no idea how to keep them occupied - honestly putting this on the table might be it ? (not legally binding advice xo)

Keep on keepin on, hopefully this is a cheap and cheerful little helper for silly season 😙🤪🐥
