I am a licensed pediatric occupational therapist who specializes in the assessment and treatment of pediatric feeding disorders. I have 17+ years experience in helping babies, toddlers, and children through adolescence with feeding struggles. My areas of expertise range from helping babies with bottle feeding to transitioning through solid table foods. I also specialize in helping children with hesitant and extreme picky eating.
I created Little Table of Grace Coaching to help parents of toddlers to teens overcome the downward spiral of extreme picky eating and create more healthy meals and happy tables.
My passion is to create more peaceful, enjoyable, and healthy mealtimes for families.
I am also a mom of three, who has experienced first-hand what it is like to have a child with extreme picky eating. I look forward to offering my experiences, tools, and compassion as a feeding therapist AND as a mom.
In addition to helping families, I love spending time with my family and friends, baking in the kitchen with my kiddos, sitting by the fireplace with a cup of coffee in hand, and being outdoors!
Little Table of Grace Coaching came from the need to help parents who are struggling with how to feed their own child due to extreme picky eating . As a pediatric occupational therapist who specializes in extreme picky eating, I felt like I could reach more families in need by creating this program! When clients decide to work with me I will take their hand and lead them step-by-step through my 3-month signature coaching program. I have pulled together my 17+ years of experience and expertise to build this program and help families overcome the downward spiral of extreme picky. I am so excited to help you and your child create more peaceful, enjoyable, and nutritious mealtimes!

Ms. Amy has been so helpful to our family, and as my son would say helped him become a "food explorer" which makes him feel empowered around food. Her expertise has given us peace of mind by working to expand his food base to provide the nutrition that he needs now and for the long run. Thank you, Ms. Amy!
Our son was a micro-preemie, born at just 26 weeks weighing 1 lb and 10oz. One of the consequences of his early birth was a lack of tone in his chewing and swallowing muscles- things most people aren't even aware of and take for granted with healthy births. When we first were referred to Ms. Amy, our son was almost 3 years old and on a liquid diet even after a year of food therapy with another provider. Ms. Amy gave him the practical tools needed to chew and swallow successfully. She built trust and confidence for him to release his fear and sensory issues surrounding food. Years later, we worked with Ms. Amy again to help widen his pallet and to set him on a course for lifelong healthy eating habits. Ms. Amy gave clear communication to me, his mother, the meal provider.
All three of my boys have done food therapy with Amy for different reasons. And having a plan tailored to each of them was priceless. They went from only eating a few things to well balanced eaters, keeping intact a healthy relationship with food.
Amy was able to give me an understanding of the difficulties my son was having with eating instead of the old school advice of "make him sit in his highchair until he finishes his food". I learned there are so many components beyond the food that can cause kids to have difficulties eating. Amy is dedicated and compassionate about what she does and you know that she is in the feeding journey with you and you are not alone. She will listen and offer suggestions. There was never any pressure which was such a relief. I am thankful that Amy came into our lives when she did, to help my son learn and like to eat!
