Eating with Ease
a life-changing program to help your child try new foods and eat more variety
You’re a parent of a child with a severely limited diet.
Dinnertime is the LEAST favorite part of your day.
Getting your child to eat anything beyond their five preferred foods is a battle.
You're tired of the food struggles and desperate for a change. But you're stuck.
You've bought a dozen picky eating books, tried cute plates and toothpicks with animal faces, and have even invested in an online program before.
Nothing you've tried has worked.
And you don’t know where to go from here.

FAQ
-
I’ve tried everything. How is this different from the other picky eating programs and courses out there?
Eating with Ease is designed for very selective eaters on the severe or extreme end of the picky eating spectrum. It is not your average picky eating course for traditional picky eaters.
If you’ve unsuccessfully tried using cute toothpicks and cutting food in fun shapes, you’re in the right place. Eating with Ease is for you if your child has an extremely limited diet and has strong aversions to trying new foods. 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 child-led and fun sensory-based approach to address your child’s barriers to trying new foods. -
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. Eating with Ease can be a great addition to that but cannot replace it. The program is designed for children who have verbal skills.
-
Is my child too old or too young?
Eating with Ease is designed for children ages ~2-10. The principles you will learn apply to anyone who struggles to eat and will be relevant to parents of twelve and thirteen year olds, too. Because older teens and young teens have more independence with eating, the principles we cover are less relevant to them.
-
How many foods will my child be eating when 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. 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.
"What’s different [about Eating with Ease] is the personal connection, other families, and the accountability. You want the person who is giving the advice to have treated kids with these issues. Jenny has met these kids. She knows these kids. [Eating with Ease] is based on experience, success, and reality. The impact on day to day living has been really profound."
