Testimonials
All parents should take this course. It covers every dynamic of establishing good eating habits and achieving optimal nutrition at every meal. I liked learning the emotional concepts and boundaries of feeding my child the most. We are currently not practicing these skills, but they make total sense. I can't wait to try them!
Great class. Andrea is very knowledgeable and I learned what to do and what not to do with my daycare!
This class is very informative. The part I liked the most is the fact that I feel this feeding stuff is doable and maybe not a total nightmare.
It was great to meet other mom's experiencing the same challenges with toddler nutrition. Andrea has great ideas to ensure your toddler grows up with a healthy relationship with food.
Thank you for offering this course, it really takes the mystery out of family eating and empowers you to make changes!
What a treat to have child serving sizes explained, realizing children can touch food while maintaining good manners and a whole new perspective on dinnertime rules! I received valuable and nutritional kid-friendly recipes but more importantly a new perspective.
Every parent should attend the Eat Right From the Start Workshop. It is too bad that this type of course is not mandatory for parents. We have two children. The first is a dream child when it comes to food and nutrition but our second child is a different story. Dinnertime was stressful. Our daughter would refuse to eat dinner most of the time and I found myself getting worried that she was not eating enough. After taking Andrea's workshop dinners have become a breeze. I realized that not only was my daughter eating more than she required each day, she was definitely fulfilling her nutritional requirements when considered over two week period. The day-to-day concern is gone! This workshop teaches parents to trust their child's hunger cues thereby allowing the children to begin to trust themselves and feel very proud about it! Thanks Andrea.
As a personal trainer who deals with clients with food issues and weight concerns on a daily basis, I am constantly helping educate adults and help them find ways to change their mental and emotional issues with foods. Parents who take Andrea's class now are preventing a whole new generation of food issues from ever occurring. I truly believe that this course is a MUST for all parents, regardless of their child's age. Starting children out right is the most important health improvement we can make for our children, and our children's future!
As a mom to a very picky eater, I found Andrea's class so helpful. Not only did I learn what was enough for him to eat, but also how I can take some of the pressure off of both of us, by following the division of responsibility. Andrea's supportive and communicative style makes learning the material a breeze and I walked away feeling so much more confident that I can help both of my children grow up with a healthy relationship with food. Thank you so much Andrea!
Andrea is very knowledgeable and obviously very passionate about making food fun and safe for the whole family. She provides amazing tools to deal with any mealtime situation and also great recipe ideas. Andrea answered all my questions and I will recommend this class to everyone I know. Thanks!
It is so nice to hear that I am not alone! This course provided me with a level of comfort that I don't need to force food on my daughter. It also proved me with a path that I can follow for feeding my daughter now and in the future. No parent should attempt to feed their child without taking this course!
Great class! Lots of info and I can see exactly how this applies to my child. Can't wait to report the progress.
