Our Secret Ingredients
Our approach to food hesitancy is informed by research and influenced by Polyvagal Theory. We support your child’s ability to create safety in their body as they interact with challenging foods. This safety is the foundation to curiosity and playful exploration, which leads to increased acceptance!
-
Creating safety at mealtimes, with family members and with foods, is the essential first step in reducing food hesitancy.
-
With safety established, we use strategies that support your child with developing intrinsic curiosity about foods.
-
And curiosity is the launching pad for exploration. With this approach we help the child find their own motivation for exploring foods. And repeated exploration and interaction is proven to increase acceptance.
Support your child’s enjoyment of a variety of foods, within the comfort of your home.
What Sets Flourish Apart
-
Wellness- Centered
We cater to health-conscious families who would love their child to enjoy a wider variety of wholesome foods.
-
Natural Environments
We support your child where your meals happen, in your home or community. This supports your child’s ability to carryover progress from our sessions into their daily life.
-
Staying Curious
We take the position of curiosity instead of assumption. We seek true understanding of your child’s needs and hesitancy around food, as well as your family dynamics.
-
Individualization
We stand for bio-individual approaches, rather than one-size-fits all protocols when it comes to matters of health and wellness.
-
Freedom & Flexibility
Strategies that support through the changes of life. Setting up for success knowing that mealtimes happen in different environments, family dynamics, and seasons of life.
-
Collaboration
Our therapeutic approach is centered on collaboration with you, the expert on your child. We take a partnership approach with you, other caregivers, and other practitioners that support your child.
