Parent and child at a calm kitchen table, the child reaching into a bowl, the kind of meal Heartful Eating Recovery works toward for ARFID and picky eating

  • Not every ARFID tip. Just yours.

    Your clinician works out what’s behind the eating, and you only see what matters for your child.

  • Smelling it counts. Touching it counts.

    Each rung on the ladder (near it, smell, touch, taste, eat) is progress.

  • How are you holding up? You matter.

    Your stress shapes how the plan goes, so your clinician sees it and plans around it.

  • No more “so, how did the month go?”

    Your feeding therapist already sees your weeks as trends. Jump straight to the conversation that matters.

Safety

Coping

Hard moments

Progress

Small wins, added up

Every offer and every step, counted up for the week.
