It’s about time your child starts feeling good about eating. Really good.
Why is picky eating the one thing you can’t figure out?
You’ve been told “it’s no big deal,” that your child is growing fine so don’t worry. They’ll outgrow it eventually, they said.
Well, time has passed and things aren’t getting any better. They might even be worse.
Your child is 7, 10, 14 years old now—still eating the same handful of foods they’ve eaten for years. And that list keeps shrinking, not expanding.
Your child:
- Eats fewer than 20 foods (sometimes as few as 5-10) and continues dropping foods from their diet
- Has significant anxiety, fear, or even panic around trying new foods
- Has worked with professionals (therapists, doctors, feeding specialists) with little to no progress
- Avoids entire food groups or textures – no vegetables, meat, nothing “wet,” nothing mixed together
- Shows signs of ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) or has been diagnosed with it
You:
- Dread mealtimes—they’re the worst part of every single day
- Worry constantly about nutrition, growth, and your child’s emotional and physical health
- Fear your child will be left out or feel embarrassed in social situations
- Plan your entire life around their eating– every vacation and outing revolves around whether your child will be able to eat
- Feel completely alone because no one else seems to understand how serious this actually is
The truth is:
This is not your fault. And change is very possible for you and your child.
Even if you think you’ve tried everything (and you probably have!) there is still hope for you and your picky eater.
Empowered Eater is a specialized coaching program designed for children ages 5-18 who have struggled with extreme picky eating or ARFID for years, and for parents like you who have worked hard to help but don’t know what to do next.
It’s for families who are ready to get relief from the food fears and restrictions that have been holding you back for so long.
Here’s are some of the things Empowered Eater has helped families and kids do:
- Comfortably go to restaurants, parties, school trips, sleepovers, and playdates without food being a barrier
- Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
- Add 20+ new foods to their diet
- Participate in family meals without separate dishes or meltdowns
- Reduce mealtime anxiety and food-related stress
- Order takeout as a family—no special orders required
- Go on overnight school trips and sports tournaments without packing “their food”
- Attend sleepover camp without anxiety
- Take dream family vacations without packing their safe foods

We are at a point now where we can manage indefinitely. My daughter can eat at restaurants, eat at friends’ houses, and she has a variety of foods to eat.
Before Jenny, I felt blocked and powerless. My daughter was telling me ‘I don’t like this’ and I felt like I was hitting a wall.
Now I feel more relaxed and empowered because I have strategies and answers for the challenges.

Hi, I’m Jenny!
I’m a pediatric registered dietitian and ARFID specialist who works exclusively with children with extreme picky eating and feeding disorders.
I’ve worked with hundreds of families to ease their child’s eating struggles, helping kids become more confident and comfortable in their relationship with food.
So I know your child can learn to eat a greater variety of food.
And I know you can start to feel better—even good—about your child’s eating.
I created Empowered Eater because I know that what works for typical picky eating doesn’t work for extreme cases. The standard tips and tricks just aren’t going to cut it for kids with significant fear and aversion to food.
I also know that a custom plan to address your family’s specific needs is what it takes to see real and lasting results.
Your child’s feeding challenges require expertise in ARFID, food anxiety, and evidence-based feeding interventions. That’s exactly what you’ll get in this program.

Stuff that I’ve gotten from Jenny is different from anyone else. She gets these kids and has figured out how to talk to them.
Katie, mom to 7 year old
For years, Rory would only eat pasta, fries, or pizza when we went out, and I could see how awkward she felt in social situations around food. Jenny’s workbook and coaching gave Rory language to understand her food anxiety, and suddenly everything clicked.
After Rory’s first meeting with Jenny, she ordered chicken and rice at a sushi restaurant, and when it arrived in a sushi boat, she tried everything—no meltdowns, no drama. She told me she felt proud of herself, and we’ve been building on that momentum ever since, trying new foods at home every week.

Jenny is always so positive. She always looked for the good things to draw out. Even on the weeks there it was hard to find things to compliment my daughter on, Jenny was still always positive and tried to find the good as much as she could.

- Tools and resources that are designed for stereotypical eating challenges, not ARFID and extreme picky eating
- A coach who isn’t available when you hit a roadblock or need reassurance because things feel tough
- A quick fix – this work can feel hard and there’s no magic wand, but a comprehensive plan will get you on the path to lasting change
- Judgment about how you got here
All Your Questions Answered
When is the right time for me to sign up?
Probably last year! I’m joking, but the truth is: most parents tell me they wish they got help sooner.
Jokes aside, you are ready if you:
- Have the time and capacity to meet with an expert 2-4 times a month
- Are open to working and making changes to see real progress
- Know your child is ready
- Believe with the right support that change is possible for your child
What age kids do you help in Empowered Eater?
While I have worked with children of all ages, kids 5-18 see the best results. Children 9- and older see the most progress.
Younger children might be a good fit for Eating with Ease.
Does my child have to attend the coaching calls?
No! Each family finds their unique groove when it comes to who attends coaching calls and each family has unique needs. Depending on your child and their needs, personality and age, I may recommend they attend at least some of the calls. Some families prefer that I work exclusively with the adults and that can be totally okay. Your child’s involvement is something we can discuss together in your Curiosity Call.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! Of course. You can either pay with a single payment of $5995 or submit an initial payment of $1995 plus five remaining monthly payments of $800. The investment is the same no matter which option you choose.
Is Empowered Eater for kids with ARFID?
Yes! This program was designed for kids on the extreme end of the picky eating spectrum, which may mean an ARFID diagnosis or symptoms like: eating very few foods, restricting entire food groups, and eating challenges interfering with your child’s daily and social life. An ARFID diagnosis is not required, but your child is a great fit if they have ARFID-like symptoms.
Do you work with kids who have ADD/ADHD and/or autism?
Yes! I actually got my start working with kids who have autism, so it’s totally within my comfort zone. My coaching approach is completely tailored to you/your child and your specific needs.
How is Empowered Eater different from Eating with Ease?
Empowered Eater is your chance for you and your child to work directly with an expert to create an eating improvement plan that is unique to your child and family. It’s designed for the kids who never outgrew their eating struggles and don’t want food fears to hold them back from living their life. If your child has food fears and is open to working with a (totally fun approachable) professional to have an easier time with their eating, Empowered Eater is the right program for you.
Eating with Ease is a great fit for families of kids seven-years-old and younger who are at the beginning stages of eating interventions for their child. While it does include one coaching session for kids, it is primarily a program for parents of picky eaters. It gives parents the tools and plan to work on their child’s eating on their own.
What if I don’t see any results or want a refund?
Progress looks different for every family so my number one priority is that you feel supported during our time together and gain the tools you need to make changes and feel better about your child’s eating.
I do not offer refunds.

When we started it felt like we were heading down a really scary path and now we’re safe again. It was a low spot of desperation.
And now she’s more open to being around other food. She takes tastes of things all the time and is more interested in foods.Diana, mom to 8-year-old
Here’s How It Works
Let’s Connect
This is a commitment, and we both want to make sure it’s the right fit. If yes, I’ll ask for your autograph, we’ll book your Kickoff Call, and you can get started on the intake forms.
Get Started
We’ll design your initial plan and I’ll introduce you to all the tools and resources you’ll need to see success during our time together.
We Meet
Ideally every week or every other week for 45 minutes. During these calls we see what’s working and where things are feeling sticky, and we adjust as needed. I’m always thinking about the future, and how we can advance and solidify your child’s new skills into meaningful change.
Celebrate
Good things are coming and as they do we’ll be ready to celebrate all the wins, big and small!

My daughter is not nearly as anxious about eating food. She isn’t as stressed about eating new things. She is confident that she can try a new food if she wants to.
Jenny helped her understand that she can eat foods even if she doesn’t love love love them.
