We are here to help!
Hi, We’re Elizabeth and Anna!
We are 2 moms who are also Registered Dietitians and child feeding experts. We are passionate about keeping diet culture out of parenting and supporting other parents to make food simple and stress free.
There is so much information that we are bombarded with daily.
It feels like there is one “right” way to parent, which can leave you feeling confused and frustrated. Food and your child’s health doesn’t have to be like that.
If you can filter out the messages you are bombarded with daily about food, health and weight, you can find a solution that works for you and your family. You know what’s best for your family! But our culture definitely makes us second guess how to feed ourselves and our children.
With support, information, and a plan to feed your family, food can be a calming force and a means of connection and celebration in your home, rather than something you stress about.
What we’ve learned and know first hand from feeding our own children and helping thousands of parents with worries about their children’s nutrition:
- There’s lots of dangerous noise out there about food and weight that causes confusion, anxiety and pressure
- Diet culture negatively influences child feeding advice
- Parents and children need support, so that children can learn and grow in their eating
- Food doesn’t have to be stressful.
What if you’ve already tried lots of feeding advice and it hasn't helped?
You may have experienced these frustrations:
All of these frustrations are valid and common. You are not alone!
Often, parents’ worries can lead to inconsistent feeding styles, trying to make sense of all of the different conflicting advice they have received.
Our TRIED AND TRUE Sunny Side Up Feeding Framework provides anxiety-reducing strategies that can keep parents feeling grounded and trusting themselves and their children.

Our culture tells us in order to be a “good parent” we need to make sure our children eat in a certain way and look a certain way. The truth is, we cannot make our children eat or not eat. We are NOT in charge of what our child weighs.

In this module, you’ll learn what your jobs are and what they are not. You’ll be introduced to the Sunny Side Up Feeding Framework that supports confident eating for you and your family.
YOU WILL DISCOVER:
