“My child has tried more foods in the past 2 weeks than she has in the last 6 months!”
The other day she said, “I want to try celery!”
Get the tools to leave mealtime anxiety behind for good.
Ready for your extreme picky eater to try new foods, eat more variety, and have a better relationship with food?
Real talk…
Your child’s severely limited diet is a daily struggle.
You want them to eat new foods… but they’re too anxious or fearful to try (or even have them on their plate).
You heard they’d outgrow it… but they haven’t, and it’s only getting harder as they get older.
Maybe they refuse to eat foods because of texture…
Maybe they’ve even stopped eating their favorite foods…
Seriously, you’d LOVE for them to eat ‘real food’ (even ‘kid food’ like pizza would be AMAZING)…instead of snacks, snacks & more snacks!
You’ve tried everything (and I mean everything!)
Set meal times and grazing…
Eating as a family and eating alone…
Pressuring and not pressuring…
Bribing or hiding foods…
Having your child cook with you…
Nutritionists, online courses, feeding therapy…
You hoped it was a phase, but you’re still:
Stocking up on ‘their food’ (and hoping their brand is available)
Telling the other mom what your child eats when they go to a friend’s house
Packing your child’s safe foods to take to a birthday party
Cooking multiple meals so everyone in the family eats dinner
Sometimes you wonder, “how did it even get to this point??”
If so, you’re invited to

“This program is really, really good. I’m using it with both my kids and it works every time, it’s amazing.”
– Keara, mom of 6 and 3 year old
Let’s face it…
Picky eating affects SO much more than just meals.
When was the last time you went to a restaurant?
Sent your kids to camp or a friend’s house, without worrying about what your child will eat?
Took a vacation? (And didn’t pack a suitcase of ‘their food’ to take with you?)
Listen – you can get there.
Though it takes time to unravel a lifelong habit of picky eating, your child can make significant improvements in just a few months with the right training and support.

“Our daughter is now choosing to try new foods completely unprompted!”
“Working with Jenny has been so helpful to our family.
Our eight-year-old felt anxious about trying new foods. We were concerned that her list of foods was getting smaller, and that she wasn’t getting the nourishment she needed.
Jenny’s Eating with Ease program is thorough. The videos are short, which I find convenient as a busy parent.
The opportunity to talk to Jenny about our concerns and wins in a small group setting is helpful because I get suggestions that are relevant to my child and where she is now.
Being the parent of a selective eater has felt isolating at times. Hearing about other parents’ challenges and wins has been so encouraging and validating.
Our daughter is now choosing to try new foods completely unprompted.
I am deeply grateful to Jenny for her support in this journey.”
– Johanna, mom of an 8 year old
You get tons of support in Eating With Ease!

“As parents we often feel like I’m the only one going through this. No one else gets it.
It’s helpful to connect with others going through the same struggles and to know they understand. Other people don’t realize the extreme pickiness.
It’s great to share what’s happening with other parents who really get it. They understand and have helpful ideas.
It’s encouraging to see someone who has gone through what you’re dealing with, and now they’re on the other side of it.”

Most families see an improvement from the very first lesson!
Thing is, extreme picky eating is often rooted in food anxiety or fear.
That’s why most traditional picky eating advice doesn’t work – because it doesn’t get to the root cause. Picky eaters face invisible barriers that “normal eating adults” simply don’t see.
Eating With Ease addresses your child’s picky eating at the source, and helps your child overcome food anxiety step-by-step.
This approach is so different that many families notice a positive shift right from the very first lesson. Your child will become so comfortable with food, they’ll surprise you by trying things – even foods you never thought they would eat!
Eating With Ease has helped families:
- Finally take their dream vacation in Disney World
- Leave the house without bringing ‘their’ food
- Go out for dinner where their child ate real food!
Every parent says “I wish I’d joined sooner!”
Parents often ask things like, “I tried feeding therapy but it didn’t work. What makes this different?”
See, eating happens in your home – not in a therapist’s office. The things covered during sessions often don’t translate to real life. (As you might’ve already experienced 😉 )
Eating With Ease gives you the tools to help your child eat in your own home.
You’ll create an ‘eating environment’ where your child feels safe to try new food.
Not only do you get every extreme picky eating strategy, you also get personalized advice that will specifically help your child.
“The impact on day-to-day living has been profound.”
Before we joined Eating With Ease we were at a crossroads. I’d read every book on extreme picky eating that has ever been written.
I tried so many things over the years. We’d seen a lot of therapists and specialists.
But they never even scratched the surface.
What’s different about Eating with Ease is the personal connection and accountability.
Jenny has treated kids with these issues. She KNOWS these kids.
Eating with Ease is based on experience, success, and reality – and it’s really great. The impact on day-to-day living has been profound.”
– Victoria, mom of a 5, 8, and 11 year old
Questions parents ask before joining Eating With Ease
I've tried everything. How is Eating with Ease different from the other picky eating programs and courses out there?
The Eating with Ease Program is designed for parents of very selective eaters on the severe or extreme end of the picky eating spectrum. You might describe them as a problem eater, food phobic, fearful, anxious, avoidant, or averse.
Unlike many other picky eating programs, Eating with Ease uses a responsive child-led approach to address your child’s barriers to trying new foods. The approach considers the root cause of eating struggles and respects a child’s comfort level while helping them to move forward at their own pace. Eating with Ease also includes expertise from other eating professionals.
And unlike many other programs, Eating with Ease also focuses on you, the parent. The program helps you learn to accept your child’s struggles and sets you up to make progress in a realistic and manageable way.
What age is Eating with Ease for?
It’s never too early or too late for a child to learn to feel more comfortable eating. This program is designed for kids ages 5-12 .
If you are looking for support for a toddler, check out the program for Toddlers & little Kids.
If your child is older, please email hello@feedingpickyeaters.com.
Am I a good fit for Eating with Ease?
Parents who have the most success in the program:
- Believe their child can get past picky eating
- Celebrate small wins
- Willingly try new things (and retry things you’ve done before)
- Have realistic expectations and aren’t looking for a quick fix
- Put in the work and stick with it
- Can laugh at the journey “Yaaay my child just ate a bite of COOKIE!” 🍪😂🎉

Is Eating with Ease appropriate for children with a diagnosis of autism or sensory processing difficulties?
Eating with Ease addresses extreme food aversions. While not designed specifically for these populations, the approach is appropriate for the eating struggles that kids with autism or sensory processing disorders experience. Please note that children with special needs often need professional assessment and support. The Eating with Ease Program can be a great addition to support from individual therapists. The program is designed for children who have verbal skills.
How many foods will my child be eating with Eating with Ease is over?
Your child’s progress in Eating with Ease will depend on a number of factors – where they are starting from, how much time you are able to commit to the program and recommended activities, and the severity of their eating aversions are just a few.
While we cannot guarantee that your child will eat a certain number of foods or any specific foods, we can guarantee that you will learn the necessary strategies to help them feel more comfortable eating and trying new foods and that you will feel completely supported throughout your time in the program.
My child has a diagnosis of ARFID. Is this program right for me?
Yes! This course will be great for you. You will want to make sure you are also working with a personal medical team if your child is underweight, nutrients, tube fed, or has any other medical diagnosis or issue.
When are the live coaching calls?
Calls are at 12pm eastern time on Thursdays. We will be meeting from February 2 to March 9.
We also have a Welcome Call on Monday January 30 at 12 pm eastern.
How does this all work?
Every week for six weeks, you’ll gain access to a new step in the Eating with Ease framework. These are short videos that you can watch or listen to on your own schedule.
Each week comes with its own set of supportive done-for-you resources and you’ll also have immediate access to your trusty guidebook.
We have live coaching meetings every week where you can ask your coaches for personalized feedback.
The weekly time investment is a minimum of 30 minutes. All live meetings are recorded if you miss them or want to rewatch.
You want to…
Send your child to birthday parties, sleepaway camp & friends’ houses – without food getting in the way
Look forward to family dinners, instead of feeling like they’re always a battle.
Cook 1 meal everyone in the family will eat.
Stop feeling embarrassed or guilty when your child eats with other people.
