My Story
Hi! I’m Christine. I’m ready to team up with you to take your mealtime and feeding struggles from stress to success!
As a Registered Occupational Therapist and mom to three young kids, I understand how disruptive and difficult feeding and mealtime struggles can be. Whether it’s picky eating, behaviour concerns, sensory issues, introducing solids or general meal time stress, I’m here to empower and enable you to achieve your feeding and mealtime goals.
I have a Masters degree in Occupational Therapy and a diverse clinical history treating individuals and families with feeding and mealtime difficulties. I utilize a holistic assessment approach that allows me to identify; then target the unique struggles that you and your child may be experiencing. This includes identifying impairments in body structure and function, and evaluating psychosocial, environmental and personal elements.
My goal is to make therapy not only fun but practical and simple so you can use strategies in your busy life long after our work together is done. I conduct creative, individualized, evidence-based therapy to achieve specific and achievable treatment goals that support the needs of your entire family.
When I’m not feeding my own children, you can most definitely find me outside: camping, working on a yard project or going for a walk.
I can’t wait to meet you!
