GRAB THE GUIDE
A practical, no-fluff guide to help you start healing your child’s gut 
Step 01
Because feeding shouldn't be a daily battle — and healing shouldn't feel overwhelming.
It begins in the body. In the nervous system. In the story.
When I was 8, I was diagnosed with childhood psoriasis — a rare autoimmune condition that turned my childhood upside down. While other kids were running barefoot in summer grass, I was tracking symptoms, navigating inflammation, and learning what it meant to live in a body that didn’t always feel safe. That diagnosis changed everything — but it also planted the seed for the work I do now.
Years later, becoming a mom shifted everything again.
Despite being a feeding specialist, when my son Nate began to struggle with extreme picky eating, I felt stuck — just like the parents I now work with. The tools I had weren’t enough. I knew I had to zoom out and look deeper: his gut, his environment, his nervous system, his biology.
That’s when everything clicked — and that’s when Livin’Sky Kids was born.
Meet Paulina “Lena” Livinsky — a holistic feeding specialist and pediatric speech-language pathologist with over 13 years of experience helping children overcome picky eating, feeding challenges, and developmental delays.
Lena earned her Master’s in Speech-Language Pathology from UConn in 2014 and has spent the past decade guiding families through the root causes of mealtime struggles. She’s the creator of the BLOOM™ Framework, a whole-child, biology-informed approach that blends oral motor therapy, real food nutrition, nervous system regulation, and supportive lifestyle shifts.
Her specialty lies in feeding and developmental care that honors each child’s unique biology and behavior — going far beyond sticker charts or surface-level strategies.
She’s also the host of The Livin’Sky Podcast and is currently pursuing advanced training in pediatric sleep and developmental care.
Because when children are truly seen, supported, and nourished — they bloom.

This all started because I wanted better for my son.
He ate fine… until he didn’t.
One day, my curious, playful toddler started turning his head away from foods he once loved. Meals became a struggle. I found myself second-guessing everything — Was it just a phase? Was I doing something wrong? Why did he only want carbs?
As a speech-language pathologist with over a decade of experience, I thought I had the tools. But nothing prepared me for the heartbreak of watching my own child struggle — not just with food, but with energy, sleep, mood… his whole system felt off.
That was my turning point.
I went deeper — into biology, nervous system regulation, microbiome science, and the emotional root of food refusal. I learned that picky eating isn’t a behavior to fix… it’s a signal to decode.
And that changed everything.
Today, I help families uncover the real reasons behind picky eating — and guide them back to connection, nourishment, and peace at the table.
Because I know how lonely and frustrating it can feel when your child just won’t eat… and I also know what’s possible when you finally understand what their body is asking for.
From one mom to another, I’m here to walk this path with you.
For your child. For your peace of mind. For their future.
MY WHY
I’ve visited 33 countries — but these days, my favorite place is barefoot in the backyard, watching my son and rescue pup Luna chase butterflies while the milkman drops off our weekly raw milk.
I love big mugs of tea, twisted romance novels with hidden messages, and the quiet magic of fuzzy socks and a well-organized planner. I light up when I spot pasture-raised, non-GMO eggs from local farms — and I’m always planning little surprises to make everyday moments feel magical for my family.
I believe healing starts with the little things we do at home — and that raising resilient kids doesn’t require perfection… just presence, connection, and the right kind of support.
