Practical Family Nutrition was created to educate parents, child care providers and parents- to- be.  It is an outgrowth of the success and fulfillment I have found through helping parents resolve feeding issues and create enjoyable meal times.  My knowledge, honesty, passion, and sense of humor make a worthwhile experience for all who spend time with me.

My goals are to provide those caring for children with the knowledge and motivation to: 

  • minimize food conflicts between parents and children.
  • create family meal times that are enjoyable, safe and serene despite a busy world.
  • introduce children to a wide variety of foods from all food groups. 
  • prepare meals at home. 
  • increase nutritional content of meals served at home through healthy food choices. 
  • decrease childhood obesity.
