What is Food School?

  • 1 hour!
    I know your life if busy. You don’t have time to sit around for 3 hours and listen to me talk. This course is packed with life-changing information AND it won’t take you a week to finish. Win-win.
    Bonus! All the videos are downloadable, and you’ll have the option to download the audio only so you can listen like a podcast!

  • The tools and strategies you’ll learn in Food School can be applied to children ages 1-12.
    Honestly, these are the strategies I use for all my clients (all the way up to age 18!).
    I’ve included a short video about how you can adapt the information and strategies in the course to fit your older child/teenager.

  • Yes! I’ve included visuals and a social story that are perfect for our non-verbal children or children with autism.
    These strategies and tools are exactly what our children with food allergies need to be able to learn about food at their own pace, without fear.

Having a picky eater is hard. I’m here to help.

If you want your child to

-add new foods to their diet, happily.
-come to the dinner table without a fight.
-be confident in learning about new foods.
-learn new skills (taught by you!) that will last them a lifetime.
-feel less anxious when new foods are served.

If you want to

-feel less stress about each and every meal (it’s exhausting, isn’t it?).
-know that you’ve set your child up for success when it comes to learning about new food.
-(and if you’re a sap like me) cry happy tears when your child finally, finally, adds new food to their diet (and enjoys it!)

Then this course was made
for you.

Happy families

    “You have made me and my sweet 13 year old son feel less alone. We’ve struggled through many years of feeding therapy and we are getting some wins!”

  • Amanda B.

    “Your tips and tricks work wonders! My stepson will not eat anything, ever, he says he doesn’t like anything! I cut up white pizza and chicken nutters and put them on toothpicks. I said just to lick each on paired it with a preferred food. He ate them on his own as soon as I stepped away, it was amazing! He even asked for more of each!”

  • Lisa K.

    “I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all you do! I have 16 month old twin girls and your page has helped us so much ALREADY. I can only imagine what it will do for us as they grow! So from one mama to another, THANK YOU!”

  • Karla C.

    “This account has changed my life 🥺 thank you!!! My toddler is already improving after implementing some of this.”

  • Katie C.

    “I follow quite a few ‘picky eating’ accounts and yours is by FAR the most helpful! I feel like most accounts are lacking the ‘how’ when it comes to trying to get a child to try new foods.”

  • Rori H.

    “I wanted to reach out and give you a HUGE THANK YOU! My daughter is 7 and autistic - she is a super picky eater…I ran across your videos and with the help of your methods, she has tried 3 new foods just this week…Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

  • Chelsea H.

    “After a couple years of struggling with a picky eater, Jessica swooped in and saved the day… and my sanity. There was no “miracle formula” but a few of her tricks, combined with her understanding and encouraging personality clicked with not only my son, but with me too! I was feeling like a failure, like I had tried everything, which means eventually I wasn’t trying ANYTHING. I have seen huge improvements with his eating habits since following Jessica.”

  • Charley S.

    “My son used to cry at the sight of something new on his plate. Changing the language we use per your suggestion from “tonight, you are trying or eating a new food” to “tonight, we are LEARNING about a new food” has been the biggest game changer. He went from not even wanting to touch a new food to having multiple interactions with every non preferred food. He is making so much progress and we are so proud! So thankful for you!”

  • Molly W.

    “My 17 month old just ate all of his ‘dump truck quesadilla’ and ‘motorcycle strawberries’. And yesterday after choosing to touch his watermelon asked for 3 more helpings. I am sitting here in awe that after watching only a couple of your videos my son is not only eating everything on his plate, but asking for more. Honestly, I cannot thank you enough for all that you are offering.”

  • Charlotte N.

    “Your videos have helped me become more confident as a mom. I’m so thankful TikTok brought you to me! Long story short, I have a picky eater, I’ve felt like a horrible mom for only feeding my daughter mac and cheese, etc… After seeing your videos about smaller portion sizes, less food, and toothpicks I gave it a try!!! It worked! We started with fruits and that was cakewalk…I was skeptical about veggies, but I’ll be darned, it worked just as easily!”
