Testimonials
You are the BEST
“To call our 3-year-old son a picky eater is an understatement. We faced many challenges when it came time to transition him from bottle feeding to solid food. Any food with textures and not a puree caused him to gag and throw up since he could not seem to grasp the concept of biting and chewing. We were at a loss until we found Kelly. She is kind, patient and truly amazing. Her feeding therapy worked wonders for my son, who went from rejecting food, throwing food to the ground, to happily putting food in his mouth and biting different types of food. Then he started to get excited when he saw food on the table. Thank you, Kelly! You are the BEST!”
