Our Expertise in Picky Eating Nutrition
We help picky eaters expand their diet with ease.
Sensory Food Aversions
Our pediatric dietitians help children with sensitivities to textures, smells, and temperatures by using gentle, step-by-step exposure methods that make trying new foods less stressful.
Food Refusal & Mealtime Battles
We work with families to create positive, low-pressure mealtime routines that ease tension at the table and encourage kids to eat more willingly.
Growth & Nutrient Concerns
Our dietitians assess your child’s current diet and create tailored strategies to support healthy growth while ensuring all nutrient needs are met.
Transitioning from Purees to Solids
We guide parents through the shift to more complex textures with practical tips, meal ideas, and reassurance to help children adapt confidently.
Feeding Routines & Structure
Our team of pediatric dietitians helps you build consistent schedules and supportive environments so mealtimes become predictable and calm.
“Beige Diet” or Limited Variety
Using your child’s accepted foods as a starting point, our pediatric nutritionists gradually expand food variety at a pace that feels comfortable for them.
Picky Eating in Toddlers & Kids
We adapt our strategies to match your child’s age, offering realistic, stage-appropriate solutions for selective eating.

Our family nutritionists use proven techniques to encourage food acceptance through repeated, no-pressure exposure in a positive setting.

-
When should I be concerned about my child’s picky eating?
While picky eating is common, it may become a concern if your child eats fewer than 20 foods, avoids entire food groups, struggles with growth, or mealtimes are consistently stressful. A dietitian can help assess whether support is needed.
-
Can a dietitian really help with picky eating?
Yes. Registered dietitians use evidence-based strategies to improve food acceptance, reduce mealtime anxiety, and ensure nutritional needs are met—without force or bribing. We work with you and your child to create realistic, family-friendly plans.
-
Do you work with toddlers and older children?
Absolutely. Our dietitians work with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, adapting strategies to your child’s developmental stage and personality.
-
What happens during the first consultation?
We’ll take time to understand your child’s eating habits, growth patterns, and family routines. From there, we create a personalized plan and provide clear next steps to help your child feel more comfortable with food.
-
What if my child won’t try any new foods?
That’s okay—progress takes time. We focus on gradual exposure, building trust, and reducing pressure so your child can move at their own pace while still improving their intake.
-
Is this service covered by insurance?
Here’s how it usually works:
In Canada:
-
Many insurance plans cover dietitian or nutritionist services.
-
We recommend calling your provider to confirm.
-
If you’re covered, your children are often included in the plan.
-
We’ll give you an insurance receipt after each session for reimbursement.
In the U.S.:
-
We’re not in-network with U.S. insurance providers.
-
However, we can give you a superbill (detailed receipt) that you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.
-
-
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. All appointments are conducted online, making it easier for families to connect from anywhere in Canada.
