Parenting Wellness Program

Over my many years of experience consulting with parents of overweight children, I've learned that the #1 behavior change for successful lifestyle improvement is based on habits and routines, more-so than dieting or nutrition.

While any nutritionist or online mom's group can give you a host of healthy recipes or tell your child to just exercise - they don't tell you HOW to get your child to actually eat the healthy food or stop their video game and go outside!

Stop Worrying!

If you know that you need to address your child's health but have struggled with finding the right way to tackle this without shame - you can stop worrying today!

Go At Your Own Pace.

I help parents make small but powerful lifestyle changes that improve overall wellness... without turning their lives upside down by completely overhauling their current lifestyle.

Get Results! 
 

Parents report back to me that their children are snacking less frequently, feel more full when they eat and have stopped constantly asking for snacks (or taking them on their own). They are confident and moving daily, with less screen time. 

Nothing has been left out! This is all the information you would get over months of working with me in-person. Now all you have to do to get started is do the trainings and ask for my help when you need it.

See you inside! 

What if there was a way to dramatically cut down the amount of snacking your family does on a daily basis without being on a "diet" or shaming?

With the pandemic, I know so many kids have gained weight or developed unhealthy eating habits...along with too much screen time and perhaps a decrease in their sports or daily exercise. We also know that weight is a risk-factor for worsened symptoms of COVID-19.

Basically, we could ALL use an immunity-booster right now.

So I asked myself the question:

How can I help parents everywhere to improve their family's eating and exercise behaviors...quickly and easily...especially right now when so many people need it the most?

• 12 Years as Attending Psychologist at Boston Children's Hospital Together with endocrine and nutrition providers, I provide families with behavioral strategies for pediatric weight management. Children return to me because of my "down to earth" style, and parents appreciate my refreshing candor and relatable nature. Forming trusting relationships with children and families is my number one goal, without which therapeutic treatment is ineffective. 

• Over 10,000 Families I also do private therapy and consultation with children, adolescents and parents in the Greater Boston Area. Children and adolescents often come to me with issues related to school performance, peer difficulties, divorce or parent issues, anxiety, sexual identity concerns, and a variety of other issues. My favorite age groups to work with are tween and teen girls. Yes, even the ones who roll their eyes and cross their arms and think therapy is a joke! 

• Training for Pediatricians, Nurses & Clinicians I receive countless calls from pediatricians asking for training and consultation around how to talk to parents about their child's weight. My professional training programs and speaking engagements have helped medical providers, school nurses, gymnastics coaches and Girl Scout troop leaders around the world.
