FAMILY NUTRITION COUNSELING
As a parent, I know that meal times can be STRESSFUL!
Everyone has their own preferences, allergies and picky eaters can make meals difficult to manage.
One of the most common situations I see are family and cultural beliefs around food
These can create unhealthy habits and behaviors that can be hard to unlearn.
Let's find a way to break those unhealthy cycles and set ourselves AND our children up for a lifetime of good healthy habits.
Include the whole family in exploring your barriers to better nutrition and developing meal and snack-time strategies to make sure your family is eating right!
Home visits are also available for a 10% additional charge.
