Testimonials

"Amanda has been an amazing resource for my family and I. She's helped me to come up with strategies and ideas to encourage my daughter to try new foods and has taught me new ways to approach mealtime. It's so hard to find someone with experience in pediatric feeding and we are so thankful we found her. We would recommend Amanda for any family who is having issues surrounding mealtimes." - Jenn, Ambler, PA 

"Amanda worked so well with our 2-3 year old daughter. She is very patient and knowledgeable. She helped us understand the do's and don'ts to teaching our daughter how to try different foods and to set our expectations. She is very professional and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a feeding therapist for their child." - Alison Snow, PhD, LCSW-R, New York, NY
