About - Meet Sharon

"Children should eat a better diet, not be on a diet."

We have sadly become a "diet" culture with fad diets and quick fix promises. There is no "one size fits all" eating pattern or magic panacea. Eating nutritious food, moving more (and enjoying it) and reducing screen time are the corner stones to a healthier lifestyle. Let's teach our children these positive ideals so we can hopefully avoid health challenges in the future.

 

I have always been interested in food (cooking and eating it) and nutrition and exercise. As a parent, I have seen first hand the challenges of providing nourishing food that gets eaten. In fact, when my daughter was a two year old, she was a very selective eater, so much so that I was giving her ice cream for breakfast (calcium!?!). This was many years ago and we have both come a long way but I know that many parents face this type or more difficult challenges with their own children.

I am passionate about working with you and your child(ren). We will address your family's eating, feeding and wellness practices; your concerns and challenges. Together, we can create YOUR achievable but not overwhelming plan by pinpointing small and realistic changes that can improve overall health. Sleep routines, screen time and physical activity will also be addressed.
