April is Occupational Therapy month! What a career it’s been the last 10 years 😅

FROM:
-wanting to be a doctor since I was young
-being “weeded out” by organic chemistry
-not getting into OT grad school the first year due to classes not transferring correctly
-not getting a pediatric fieldwork placement in grad school

TO:
-being the senior OT at a pediatric outpatient clinic
-becoming a feeding specialist
-starting my own mobile business
-making true meaningful differences in the lives of babies, toddlers, kids, & families

The road was bumpy, but worth it ♥️

🥦 Does your child have aversions to certain foods? 🫑🥒🥝

Make it fun! Repeated exposure with positive experiences is key. Use fun themes like holidays to create with no pressure to eat.

What is tube feeding?

“Feeding tubes are simply an alternate way of receiving nutrition for children or adults who are unable to eat by mouth, or who are unable to receive enough nutrition from oral eating.” From: https://www.feedingtubeawarenessweek.org

It is frequently a life saving intervention. Many babies & kids I treat have feeding tubes- this comes with added difficulties and stigmas.

💘 Exploring foods outside of meal times is a great intervention for picky eaters- using holidays as a theme makes it even more fun! 💕

Do you have a picky eater at home? Have help come to you! Message me to set up a free consult call to see if it’s a good fit.
