Families & children

Habits are built at the kitchen table. Coaching for parents who want their kids to grow up with a healthy relationship to food, sleep, movement and screens.

How this works

I coach the parents, and the whole family benefits. Children under 13 don't attend sessions; teens can join with a parent present if they want to. The focus is never a child's weight or a diet. It's the environment: what's in the house, how meals happen, how the day is structured, and how adults model the things they hope kids will copy.

Many parents come to me for their own midlife health and realize the same eight bytes apply at home. A family plan often starts there.

What I don't do. No weight-loss plans, calorie counting or restrictive diets for children or teens, ever. Any concern about a child's growth, eating or health goes to your pediatrician first. If I see signs of disordered eating I'll say so and help you find the right specialist.

What we work on

Picky eating and food battles

Lowering the pressure, widening what's offered, and separating "trying" from "finishing." Calmer meals within weeks.

Breakfast, lunchboxes and after-school

Fast, real food that keeps energy and mood steady through the school day — and survives a backpack.

Sleep and screens

Age-appropriate bedtimes, wind-down routines, and screen rules the whole household can keep — including the adults.

Movement that isn't a chore

Sixty minutes of play a day for younger kids, a chosen sport or activity for teens, and active habits the family does together.

Body talk and self-esteem

How adults talk about food, bodies and exercise shapes what kids believe. We change the script at home.

Teen energy, focus and stress

Fuel for growth and study, sleep for mood, and simple mindfulness tools for exams and pressure.
