The timeline for results depends on your child’s unique needs, the specific challenges being addressed, and the consistency of the strategies we implement together. Some families notice improvements in just a few weeks, while others see gradual progress over several months.

Traditional feeding therapy often focuses primarily on behavioral strategies or oral-motor exercises without addressing the underlying systems that affect feeding. My BLOOM Framework takes a comprehensive approach by examining five interconnected pillars: Balanced Health, Learned Oral Skills, Optimal Microbiome, Open Exploration, and Mealtime Boundaries. This allows us to address not just what you see on the surface (food refusal, limited diets) but the root causes beneath the behaviors—whether that's gut health imbalances, sensory sensitivities, or developmental patterns. By supporting all systems simultaneously, we create lasting change rather than temporary improvements.

Many families come to me after trying multiple other therapies without seeing the results they hoped for. The difference in my approach is that I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. By thoroughly assessing all five pillars of the BLOOM Framework, we often uncover overlooked factors that have been preventing progress. My background combining speech-language pathology with holistic wellness gives me a unique perspective that bridges traditional therapy and functional health approaches. Families frequently tell me they finally feel understood and hopeful after our first meeting, even after years of frustration.

Customization begins with our comprehensive initial assessment, where I evaluate all five pillars of the BLOOM Framework as they relate to your child's unique situation. I consider their developmental history, current challenges, family dynamics, and health background to identify which systems need the most support. Rather than applying a standard protocol, I prioritize interventions based on your child's specific needs and your family's goals and values. Throughout our work together, we continually reassess and adjust strategies based on your child's progress and response, ensuring our approach evolves as your child does.
