YES, SHOW ME WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON
Most feeding advice treats picky eating like a behavior problem. But when your child refuses entire food groups, gags on textures, or only eats five foods, that's their body trying to tell you something.
I'm Lena, first, a mom. Second, a pediatric feeding specialist who spent over a decade watching parents try everything (charts, rewards, one-bite rules) only to end up more stressed and confused.
Here's what I know: picky eating is a symptom, not a diagnosis. And when we stop trying to control behavior and start listening to the body, everything shifts.

This isn't about forcing your child to eat. It's about understanding why they're not.
What if picky eating isn't about willpower, but about biology?
What if the problem isn't your child, but the approach?
What if one simple shift could change everything?
But here's the truth: picky eating isn't a behavior problem. It's a body problem.
When your child's system is dealing with nutrient depletion, gut imbalances, or sensory overload, no amount of pressure or rewards will work.
That's why we address the ROOT, not just the refusal.

feeling stuck
Tired of feeling like nothing is working for your child’s picky eating?
Here's how we can work together.
When my son Nate struggled with extreme picky eating, I had all the training, but being his mom changed everything. The pressure, the stress, the refusal… it was exhausting.
Everything shifted when I stopped treating it like a behavior issue and started supporting his biology, his gut, nervous system, oral skills, and environment.
Now I help other families do the same using my BLOOM™ Framework, so you can stop guessing and start nourishing with confidence.

I can’t speak highly enough about the exceptional care and expertise provided by Ms. Paulina. From the consultations, she provided me with a comprehensive plan to support not only feeding and nutrition but also overall wellness.
One of the most remarkable aspects of her approach is how she integrates various elements to support gut health and feeding. She taught me the importance of exercise, nourishment, hydration, sleep, light, and breathing techniques. The advice she provided was both practical and transformative, and her constructive suggestions have made a lasting impact on our daily routine.

Working with Lena has truly been a life-changing experience for our family. Her expert advice on nutritional choices, especially focusing on organic options and gut-healing dietary tips, helped restore my son’s gut health in ways we never thought possible. Paulina guided us through eliminating processed foods and elevating the overall quality of eating for all my children, which has had a profound impact.
The changes we’ve seen in my son have been remarkable. He no longer flaps, he’s responding to his name more consistently, sleeping better, and his sensory-seeking behaviors have significantly decrease. It feels like we’re finally seeing him shine through. Paulina’s knowledge, compassion, and holistic approach have made this journey not only manageable but empowering. I can’t thank her enough for helping us transform our family’s health and well-being.

I thought we had tried everything. But Lena helped me understand my daughter's body, not just her behavior. We went from meltdowns at every meal to actually enjoying dinner together. I finally feel like I know how to support her.

Mealtimes used to be full of tension
MEET LENA
For over a decade, I’ve helped families move from stressful mealtimes to calmer, more connected tables. But my greatest teacher has been my son. When feeding became a struggle at home, I realized it was never just about food. It was about biology, connection, and helping the body feel safe enough to eat.
I grew up in Poland and later lived in Spain, where I learned how deeply sunlight, culture, and the pace of life shape our health. That perspective now shapes everything I teach inside my BLOOM™ Framework.
Today, I help parents understand what their child’s body is really asking for so they can bring peace and joy back to the table. Because when we nurture biology and connection together, children don’t just eat. They thrive.
