Tired of all the Mealtime MELTDOWNS?!
And the sleepLESS nights, spent worrying about whether your child consumed enough calories or got the nutrition they needed during the day…
Not to mention all the fun social events you’ve skipped because you knew it would simply be too overwhelming for your child.
Are you worn down by the constant, ill-informed, outdated and often judgmental advice from friends and family about your child’s eating and what you should be doing differently?
Do you feel like you have tried it all, but the strategies that seem to work for other parents, just don’t work for your child?
Is getting them to touch, let alone try new foods like going into battle, every, single day?
If you're exhausted from negotiating every bite...
Have NO Fear!
You're in the RIGHT PLACE!
Where expert research-driven guidance meets a supportive community, walking the journey with you towards CALMER, more PREDICTABLE MEALTIMES.

A personalised programme based around your child’s individual strengths, challenges and needs.
This could include equipment suggestions, activity ideas, sensory diets, or mealtime strategies, alongside tailored guidance to help you put the strategies into practice at home.

Hi, I'm Shelly.
You do not need another expert telling you what you should be doing.
You need someone who understands how hard this can feel and knows how to support you without judgement.
I am an occupational therapist with 15 years of experience supporting children and families. Much of my work has focused on picky eating, sensory differences, and regulation, especially for neurodivergent children.
I work with parents who are:
- Doing their best.
- Trying everything they can.
- Still feeling stuck and worried around food.
My approach is calm, practical, and realistic.
- No forcing bites.
- No pressure.
-No blame.
I focus on helping you understand why food feels hard for your child, and how small changes in routine, environment, and connection can make a real difference over time.
This Support is RIGHT for You If...
Your CHILD:
- Is a PICKY EATER, whether neurotypical or neurodiverse.
- Eats a very limited range of foods, avoids food groups, or finds eating stressful
- Experiences anxiety, overwhelm, sensory differences or strong reactions around food
- Finds mealtimes emotional, difficult or unpredictable.
- Is between 1.5 and 10 years old
YOU:
- Worry about nutrition, health, stress, or social situations involving food and your child
- Feel exhausted by pressure, power struggles or conflicting advice around feeding
- Want practical, realistic and evidence-informed strategies that are easy to use at home
- Would value support, reassurance and being part of a community of parents who understand
You. We. Picky Eating is designed to gently support parents in reducing stress and pressure around meals while helping children build safer, more positive relationships with food over time.
It is educational, supportive and parent-focused in nature, rather than intensive 1:1 feeding therapy.
This Support May Not Be the Right Fit If...
Your CHILD:
-
Has swallowing safety concerns that require specialist dysphagia management, e.g. children with Cerebral Palsy
-
Requires urgent medical intervention related to feeding safety or hydration
-
Is medically unstable or awaiting urgent medical assessment related to feeding
- Your child is under 1.5 years old.
Please note:
This support does not replace medical, dietetic or specialist feeding intervention.
Children with medical histories or early feeding difficulties, will still benefit, alongside ongoing support from their medical or feeding team.
YOU:
-
Are not open to being actively involved in the process or trying the strategies discussed within the programme
-
Are looking for intensive individual feeding therapy, rather than parent-focused education and support
-
Like any support programme, what you put in is often what you get out.
