  • "Gina, I wanted to take the time and express my gratitude for all that you've done for me. Mostly, thank you for being you! You created a welcoming 'I can be me' environment and I will always appreciate that you are real and genuine."

  • "Gina's time with our daughter and our family was invaluable. She helped us better understand the importance of a safe eating environment, which includes a supportive high chair with proper posture, calm parenting and confidence in the approach to allergens. Her thorough guidance on what to watch for when starting solids and liquids has set us up for success. We would recommend Gina to anyone!" - D & L

  • "Being a Speech Pathologist myself, I know what to look for.  I've been where Gina sits.  When my son needed help, I was picky!  Gina checked all the boxes.  She's incredibly knowledgeable, fun for my son, and was always cheerful and ready to help.  He doesn't warm up quickly, but showed clear love for Gina!  I appreciate her so very much; thank you Gina for helping my boy!"  ~Eleanor

  • "I contacted Gina following some concerns with my son’s growth, as we were finding the transition from milk to solids to be a challenge. Not only was she extremely helpful in helping us increase his solid intake, but she also acted as a sounding board for all of my first time mom worries surrounding toddler eating and drinking behaviors. Gina not only answered all of my questions, but was willing to do so no matter the time of day. She checked in regularly and showed genuine interest in his progress. Thanks to her help, my son has now upped his weight percentile and is now eating a whole range of solids with all the mealtime struggles. Thank you, Gina, for sharing your wealth of knowledge and being so empathetic to our situation!"

  • Working with Gina has been a lifesaver for our family. Before working with her every dinner time was an argument that would end with me making two separate dinners and my child eating the same food every night never trying new food. Gina helped us create better boundaries around meal times and offer new foods in ways that felt safe for my child. No more tantrums at meal time and no more making two dinners. It’s definitely a process but having a coach at every turn took so much frustration away. I would recommend Gina to anyone who is facing challenging meal times to turn your dinner table into a place the whole family can be happy.  -Kirsten, mom to a 4 year old and 1 year old
