The Feeding Therapist is a specialist feeding therapy service led by Teresa, an Ireland-based occupational therapist with 17 years of experience supporting infants and children who struggle with eating. Teresa is also an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a registered occupational therapist. The service helps families facing complex feeding challenges, including avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), paediatric feeding difficulties, sensory sensitivities, limited food variety, and mealtime anxiety. Support focuses on practical strategies tailored to a child’s needs, such as developing oral motor skills, building tolerance for new foods, and creating calmer mealtime routines and environments.

Families can book specialist therapy sessions or take the Magical Mealtimes online course, designed for children and young people aged 3 to 16. The six-part, self-paced course covers understanding ARFID, strengthening feeding relationships, creating positive mealtimes, sensory processing, and applying sustainable strategies at home. It also includes concise summaries, practical activities, and monthly group calls where parents can ask questions and connect with others.
