Picky eating, ARFID & feeding challenges

Braver every meal

One hour with the clinician, ninety meals at the kitchen table. Your feeding clinician sets the plan for picky eating or ARFID; the app makes it doable at home, one safe step at a time.

Heartful Eating Recovery today screen with care team message, food check-in and exposure practice
  • Matched to the cause, not a generic list of tricks

    Your clinician identifies what is driving the eating problem, from sensory sensitivity and fear to low interest, oral-motor skills, or rigidity, and you only see the tools that fit. Today shows the steps assigned for today, nothing more.

  • Exposure, one rung at a time

    Foods are sorted into Safe, Learning, and Challenge, with food chaining from what your child already accepts. Practice runs from looking to touching to tasting, at your child's pace.

  • Your care team, in the loop

    Meal logs track exploration and engagement, never calories, and flow back to your clinician as trends. Signs of refusal, dehydration, choking, or vomiting go straight to their queue with a response deadline.

  • Support for the parent too

    A daily mealtime stress diary built on DBT skills, breathing and body-scan exercises, and secure messaging with your care team.

Why it is different

The work between appointments actually happens

Recovery apps for adults assume the patient uses the app. Under ten, the parent does. Heartful Eating Recovery is built for that: no child-facing screens, no scores shown to the family, no advice the app invents on its own. Everything you see was set by your clinician.
