Hi, I’m Lena — a mom, pediatric speech-language pathologist, and holistic feeding specialist.

For over a decade, I’ve helped families move from stressful mealtimes and picky eating battles to calmer, more connected tables. But the truth is — my biggest teacher hasn’t been my clinical training or professional experience.

It’s been my son.

When he was born, I thought my expertise would give me all the answers. Instead, he taught me something no textbook could: that feeding challenges are never just about food. They’re about the whole child — their biology, their development, their environment, and their sense of safety at the table.

That realization reshaped everything. I stopped focusing on quick fixes and started building an approach that looks deeper — at gut health, oral motor skills, sensory sensitivities, nervous system regulation, and family connection.

This became the foundation of my BLOOM™ Framework, which I now use to guide families like yours.

Today, I help parents of picky eaters understand why their child struggles with food and what to do about it — without pressure, shame, or mealtime battles. Because when we look deeper, children not only learn to eat, they thrive.
