WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

"Tracy worked with my autisic son to help him work through his food refusal and associated weight loss. Through individual consultations, food therapy sessions and specialised meal plans, she has worked wonders! He now more readily tries new foods and is eating a more balanced diet."

Kirsty, mum to Riley 16

"It’s been wonderful to see Chloe so enthusiastic about the food you are making with her. I can see she is developing that positive relationship with food that she had lost. You are making an impact in a great way. Loving all the changes we are seeing. Not sure I’ll ever hear Chloe ask me to put just tomato sauce on her pasta again."

Catherine, mum to Chloe 8

"We are loving the meal plans - it is saving us on groceries and we love the food. I'm feeling so good, like I'm actually eating for nutrition and fuel for my body and I don't feel tired! I'm really happy thanks so much!"

Jodie, family of 4

"Absolutely loved everything Tracy had to share with our group. She is a wealth of knowledge and would highly recommend her services, whether you are an individual looking for change or as a group managing different personalities, body shapes and expectations. Always very responsive and follow up is just brilliant."

Jess, Motivate Me Fitness

5 Common Picky Eating Mistakes — and how to fix them 👇

As a feeding therapist, I see these all the time:

1️⃣ Letting your child graze all day = low appetite at meals
2️⃣ Pressuring them to “just try one bite” can backfire
3️⃣ Serving large portions can overwhelm instead of encourage
4️⃣ Offering dessert as a reward creates food hierarchies
5️⃣ Giving up after a few tries — it can take 30+ exposures!

The good news? These are simple to shift with the right tools. 🙌

Inside my Unfussy Eater Program, I teach you exactly how to build a low-pressure, structured routine that helps your child feel confident around food again.

Feeding therapy isn’t just about eating — it’s about understanding why eating is hard in the first place.

Here are some of the key areas we support in feeding clinic:
🔹 Sensory Processing – helping kids tolerate smells, textures, and temperatures
🔹 Oral Motor Skills – building the strength and coordination needed for chewing and swallowing
🔹 Food Neophobia – gently supporting kids with a real fear of trying new foods
🔹 Self-Regulation Around Food – helping kids stay calm and engaged at the table
🔹 Fine & Gross Motor Skills – improving the ability to scoop, stab, spread, pour, and self-feed
🔹 Routine, Exposure & Play – creating positive associations with food without pressure

✨ It’s not about forcing bites. It’s about building skills, confidence, and trust.

If you’re tired of the guessing game — what to serve, when to offer it, how to not trigger a meltdown — you’re not alone.

Here’s what a simple picky eating strategy might look like:
👉 Always include a safe food
👉 Pair it with a sometimes eaten or new food
👉 Keep portions small to reduce overwhelm
👉 Use a consistent mealtime routine (beginning, middle, end)
👉 Focus on exposure, not bites

These are just a few of the building blocks I teach inside my 6-week Unfussy Eater Program, where I’ll help you create a personalised plan for your child — step-by-step.

When there’s no safe food on my picky eater’s plate… 🎭
Cue: dramatic sighs, tears, and a fast exit stage left.

Lesson learned? ✅
👉 Always include at least one safe food (something your child usually eats happily) at every meal.

It gives them a sense of security, keeps anxiety low — and actually makes them more open to seeing (and maybe exploring!) other foods on the plate.

💡One simple change that can turn mealtimes from meltdown… to manageable.

Does your child refuse food the second it’s not “just right”? 🤔

For lots of picky eaters — especially sensory kids — temperature really matters.

🔥 Warm vs. 🥶 cold totally changes how food feels in their mouth (we call this “mouthfeel”).

That’s why offering foods at a consistent temperature (or using a simple warm-up routine) can help build trust — and make your child more willing to eat!

Small detail, BIG difference 💛

Tired of offering the same food over and over… only for it to come right back untouched? 😩

Here’s why repetition is actually your best friend 👇

✅ Kids need 15–30+ exposures (sometimes more!) before accepting a new food
👀 Even SEEING a food — on the table, on a plate, or in the kitchen — counts as an exposure
👉Repetition helps reduce anxiety and builds familiarity
🍽️ The goal is to normalise seeing new foods… NOT to force bites!

Be patient — those small steps really do add up 💛

Think it’s just picky eating? These red flags might mean there’s more going on 👇

🚩 Eats fewer than 10 foods
🚩 Gags or vomits with certain textures
🚩 Gets anxious or has meltdowns when new foods are served

These can be signs of:
⚠️ ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)
⚠️ Sensory processing challenges
⚠️ Oral motor difficulties

Is your picky eater constantly saying “my tummy hurts”? Bloated? Constipated? Struggling with low appetite? 💩

Gut health might be playing a bigger role in their picky eating than you think!

🚨 Signs your child’s gut might be out of balance:
👉 Low appetite or refusal to eat
👉 Complaints of tummy pain or bloating
👉 Irregular bowel movements (hard poos, skipping days, or holding it in)
👉 Crankiness or meltdowns around meals

✅ Here’s how to support their gut:
🥣 Add fibre-rich foods (think chia seeds, pears, oats, lentils, and veggie muffins)
💧 Keep them hydrated (water first!)
🏃‍♀️ Encourage movement during the day
👩‍⚕️ And always check in with your GP if it’s ongoing

Picky eating and gut health are deeply connected. When digestion’s off, appetite dips — and food refusal spikes.

5 food habits that might accidentally be making picky eating worse 😬👇

1️⃣ Grazing all day – Constant snacking = no appetite at mealtimes. Try spacing meals/snacks 2–3 hours apart.

2️⃣ Pressure to “just take a bite” – This increases resistance. Instead, model trying the food and stay neutral.

3️⃣ Portions too big – Big piles of unfamiliar food can be overwhelming. Keep portions small and approachable.

4️⃣ Using dessert as a reward – This teaches that veggies are the “yuck” to get to the “yum.” Offer dessert regardless of what they eat.

5️⃣ Giving up on repeated exposure – Kids may need to see a food 20+ times before accepting it. Stay consistent and low-pressure.

💡Small tweaks = BIG shifts in picky eating progress!

“I’m full!” ➡️ 10 minutes later: “I’m hungry!” 😩 Sound familiar?

This is so common in picky eaters — and it’s usually not about hunger. It could be meal overwhelm, lack of safe foods, or snacking too close to dinner.

Here’s how to help:
✅ Build a balanced plate with at least one safe food
✅ Reduce overwhelm with small portions
✅ Avoid pre-meal grazing
✅ Set a kitchen open/closed time
✅ And if they’re asking for something specific — include a tiny portion with dinner next time!

If your picky eater avoids meat, there’s a good chance they’re not getting enough iron — and that can seriously impact their energy, appetite, mood, and even their willingness to try new foods. 😣

Low iron in kids can look like:
❌ Constant tiredness
❌ Low appetite
❌ Crankiness or meltdowns
❌ More resistance at mealtimes

But here’s the good news — iron doesn’t have to come from meat!

Here are some iron-rich, picky eater-friendly options:
🥣 Fortified cereals
🌱 Lentils & chickpeas
🍞 Whole grains
🥬 Spinach blended into sauces
🍑 Dried fruits like apricots

Pro tip: Pair with vitamin C (like strawberries or capsicum) to boost iron absorption!

If your picky eater is constipated, expanding their diet will feel impossible. 💩

Constipation = bloating, low appetite, and major discomfort around food — which makes trying anything new feel overwhelming. 😣

Before we can help kids eat more variety, we need to get things moving.

We can do this by:
✔️ Slowly boosting fibre intake
✔️ Keeping fluids up - increase by 1 cup per day
✔️ Add daily movement
✔️ Chat with your GP if it’s ongoing

Once their tummy feels better, trying new foods becomes so much easier. 🙌

Struggling with picky eating AND constipation? 😣 You’re not alone — and there’s a sneaky culprit you might be missing…

👉 FIBRE.

Most picky eaters love beige foods — toast, pasta, crackers — but these low-fibre choices can lead to constipation, which seriously messes with appetite and makes food refusal even worse.

Here are 5 easy fibre-boosting swaps (without the battle):
👉Chia seeds in smoothies or yogurt
👉Whole grain or high-fibre pasta
👉Lentils or beans mixed into bolognese or tacos
👉Mashed beans in quesadillas or fritters
👉Flaxseed, fruit + veggie muffins with oats

💩 A healthy gut = a more open eater.

If you’re anything like me, you know the stress of standing in the kitchen, wondering what on earth to make that your picky eater will actually eat. 😩

That all changed when I discovered a simple strategy: build meals around “safe foods” while introducing one new food at a time.

Here’s how it works:
✅ Make a list of meals your family enjoys and rotate fortnightly
✅Start with a food your child already loves (their “safe food”).
✅ Add a small portion of something new—no pressure to try it, just let it be there.
✅ Repeat consistently, and watch as curiosity slowly replaces resistance.

This approach has been a lifesaver in reducing meal-planning stress and helping my picky eater explore new foods over time! 🙌

Tired of asking your picky eater to “just take a bite” and getting nowhere? 😩

Here’s what to try instead👇

Talk about the food — is it crunchy or chewy? Salty or sweet? What does it smell like?

Then model the behaviour yourself — explore the food without asking your child to eat it.

This simple shift removes pressure and builds trust.
👉It helps your child learn about new foods in a playful, low-stress way.
👉And it sets the stage for real progress — one tiny step at a time.

🍽️ 1. Serve a “safe food” at every meal (something your child usually eats without pressure).

🧠 3. Focus on food interaction first — not bites! Touching, smelling, and exploring counts as progress.

Are you unknowingly setting yourself up for failure with your picky eater? 😬

One of the biggest mistakes I see parents make is expecting their child to eat a new food on the first try.

But here’s the truth 👇
Trying a new food starts long before the first bite.

Touching it
Smelling it
Looking at it
Exploring it through play or food prep

These early steps help your child feel safe with new foods — and when they feel safe, they become way more open to eating them.

Let go of the pressure and focus on connection and comfort first 💛

Wishing all the wonderful hard working mums out there a happy Mother’s Day ❤️

If I had a goal to get my picky eater trying (and actually eating!) three new foods by July, here’s the simple, strategic plan I’d follow: 👇

1. Pick the right foods — Start with foods that are similar to what they already eat (think: new brands, textures, shapes, or flavors that aren’t a huge leap).

2. Focus on food interaction first — Smelling, touching, and playing with the food comes before licking or biting. Engagement always leads to more confidence!

3. Serve new foods with safe foods — Always include a favourite at meals so your child feels safe and not pressured.

4. Offer daily exposure — No one-off “taste tests” here! Make it part of the daily routine, even if they just look at it at first.

5. Stay neutral — No begging, bribing, or big reactions. Calm, consistent exposure wins every time.

6. Celebrate progress, not perfection — A lick, a smell, a tiny nibble — it ALL counts toward progress! 🎉

🙌 Imagine how much more confident your child (and you!) could feel just a few months from now... it’s totally possible with the right steps!

Picky eating isn’t naughty behavior.
It’s communication. 💬

It’s your child saying:
👉 “This food feels scary.”
👉 “I don’t feel safe here yet.”
👉 “I need your help, not pressure.”

I learned this the hard way — through tears, mealtime battles, and frustration. 😞 But now?
We do it differently.

❤️We use trust, not pressure.
❤️We focus on connection, not control.
❤️We celebrate tiny wins — because those tiny steps lead to big change.

New foods my picky eater said YES to trying over the holiday break:
👉 Prawns
👉 Plums
👉 Spicy noodles
👉 Mango sorbet
👉 OYSTERS! 😱👏

I know, wild right?! But here’s why it worked:

🌴 Holidays create the perfect setting for food wins—there’s less pressure, more relaxed routines, new environments, and a sense of adventure that can actually boost your child’s willingness to try something new.

When kids are out of their usual routine, their brain is more open to novel experiences—including food. Pair that with low-pressure exposure (like seeing others eat the food, or being offered it without expectation), and it’s a win-win!

💡Pro tip: don’t expect miracles, but take advantage of the calm, the fun, and the freedom from school lunchboxes to explore new bites. Even one lick or nibble is progress.

Why won’t my child eat veggies?!🥦😩

You’re not alone — and there’s a real reason behind it.

Kids are biologically primed to prefer sweet foods (like fruit) 🍓— not bitter ones like broccoli or spinach. That bitterness can signal danger in nature, so it takes time and repeated exposure to learn to like it.

PLUS, fibrous veggies are harder to chew, especially for little ones still developing their oral motor skills. 🧠👅 It can be exhausting and overwhelming!

So what can we do?

✅ Start with veggie purees in familiar meals
✅ Gradually introduce finely chopped or grated veggies
✅ Add small amounts to foods they already love (think: pasta, muffins, sauces)

This is not about sneaking — it’s about slowly helping their brain and body get used to the taste, texture, and look of veggies.

Bribing your picky eater to take a bite? 🍪🚫 It might work now, but what happens when the food gets harder?

As a feeding therapist, I don’t recommend bribing kids to try new foods. It teaches them that new foods are “bad” and only worth eating for a reward. It might work for easier foods, but when you introduce a more challenging one, you’re stuck with nowhere to go... and a child who refuses without a bribe.

Instead, focus on food interaction first—touching, smelling, playing—before working up to licks and bites. This builds confidence and reduces fear, making it easier for your child to try new foods on their own terms.

My child refuses dinner but expects dessert—what do I do? 🍽️🍦😩

💡This is a super common struggle for parents! If your child skips dinner but still asks for dessert, here’s why offering a small portion of dessert alongside dinner can actually help reduce mealtime battles and food anxiety.

👉It removes the power struggle – If dessert isn’t a reward, kids don’t feel the need to “earn” it by eating a certain way.

👉It neutralizes sweets – Making dessert just another food on the plate helps take away the “forbidden” appeal and reduces obsession over treats.

👉It teaches balance – Kids learn that all foods fit, instead of seeing some as “good” and others as “bad.”

👉It builds trust – Picky eaters feel more in control when they know they won’t be forced to eat dinner just to get dessert. Over time, this can lead to better eating habits!

This simple shift can make a huge difference in mealtime stress and actually encourage your child to explore more foods.

It’s easy to feel frustrated when your child refuses a meal (again 😩), but your reaction shapes their eating habits more than you think!

Instead of: ❌ “Just take one bite!”
Try: ✅ “You don’t have to eat it yet, but you can learn about it!”

Instead of: ❌ “You won’t get dessert if you don’t eat!”
Try: ✅ “First we have dinner, then we have dessert.”

Instead of: ❌ “Why won’t you just eat?!”
Try: ✅ “Looks like you’re not ready for that yet—that’s okay let’s explore what you don’t like about it”

By keeping mealtimes low-pressure, kids feel safe exploring food at their own pace. 💡
