I signed up to work with Thalia because I was so stressed by the constant food meltdowns and limited eating…I’m so glad I did!

After only 4 weeks, I’m much more confident and less stressed compared to 4 weeks ago when I was struggling to stick to mealtime boundaries, giving in to food demands, and wanting to ask my daughter to take more bites. Our mealtimes are already happier.

I can’t believe that after 8 weeks we’re no longer having meltdowns about food and the relationship I have with my 4yo is closer than before.

I absolutely recommend this program. The homework, accountability, and feedback in the chat are so helpful. The program does require an investment of your time and money, but it’s SO worth it! Thalia will open your mind and help you handle your mealtimes! This program will for sure help decrease your stress levels! 😊

Before working with Thalia, the biggest issues I had with my 3yo were that she was very picky and wouldn’t try new foods. 

I dreaded mealtimes and worried about her not getting enough nutrients. I’d often second-guess myself, give into demands, and let her eat whenever she wanted.

Throughout our time working together my daughter is eating more, open to trying different foods, I no longer feel like I’m floundering, AND my daughter and I have a more trusting relationship.

Thalia’s knowledge and experience with picky eating has helped to give my daughter and I strategies and language to use in helping her expand her eating. Using a proven framework/approach Thalia helped us inject curiosity and fun into our meals and guided us to solutions that work with our lives.

The periodic calls, ‘homework’ assignments, and ability to chat with Thalia via text, even between calls, are incredibly valuable.

(Mom of 7, 5, & 3yo)

I’ve struggled with picky eaters for years. It has been a huge source of stress for our family with kids refusing to try new foods, having meltdowns when anything new was put on their plate, and obsessions with carbs and dessert.

Before joining Thalia’s small group program I’d followed her tips on Instagram but wasn’t getting the traction I needed to move forward. I was concerned the group wouldn’t change my situation.

Now, 6 weeks on, my anxiety has lessened, and I feel more confident in putting new foods on the plate. The weekly calls boosted my confidence, helped start each week with a positive outlook, and gave me different techniques to try (and they were successful!)

The small group kept me accountable and gave me a lot more confidence staying consistent and not giving up when I had a bad day or things didn’t work as planned.

I knew I needed help and was lacking motivation to keep trying. Thalia’s approach is getting our family back on track. Connecting with others in the group facing the same struggles was so reassuring. This group takes a commitment and work to see a shift in behaviors, but I’m so happy I took the leap of faith to sign up!

Before Thalia’s program I didn’t think anything would work to get my son to even try veggies. His eating had narrowed down to a handful of specific favorite foods and he was no longer trying new things.

In such a short time after starting the program he’s open to trying food again and I feel more confident offering foods. We are all eating the same meals as a family, no more separate meals. In just the last few weeks he’s tried brown rice, carrot, broccoli, cooked tomatoes, and his first apple ever! 🤯

The coaching group is small with lots of support and SO many strategies. I also enjoyed the group chat as it fosters a sense of community with the other parents and Thalia answers questions between calls. Thalia is pretty amazing, she feels more like a friend.

Thalia’s guidance is not only for our children but for us! I learned some things I MYSELF needed to do in order for my child to feel comfortable to eat properly. She’s an expert in her field and I’m amazed at how quickly we got results! 10000% I would recommend her and her program!

“Raising a picky eater is hard, emotional, and isolating. No one wants to go through this alone.

And that’s the biggest strength of Thalia’s small group program.

When you feel lost, there’s Thalia to point you in the right direction.

When you feel like you’re not making any headway, there’s Thalia to show you the progress you’ve made.

When you feel like a failure, there’s Thalia to cheer you on.

When you feel like you can’t do it anymore, there’s Thalia to cry and vent to.

You’re not alone. There’s a real-life person on the other end who’s ready to help.”

These were Colleen’s words at the conclusion of our 8 week program.

When Colleen signed up, she was concerned about the time commitment. She’d done other programs in the past, but they didn’t have the community and connection aspect, she felt even more isolated.

Colleen said “I needed the weekly check ins for accountability with the homework and mindset shifts…. This program was really helpful for me as the parent… I have tools to use”

(Mom of 8yo, 3yo, 10yo)

Before signing up to the small coaching group my biggest fears were the cost and that it wouldn’t work for my child. I’ve struggled with extreme picky eating for many years, my child has ARFID (the eating disorder of extreme picky eating.)

Major meltdowns at mealtimes and extreme picky eating were the main issues. Not only was my child eating a VERY limited variety of foods, she wasn’t eating much and struggling to gain weight. The high stress levels, refusal to try new foods, and difficulty eating “safe” food if they were prepared differently, was incredibly frustrating daily.

After finishing the 8 week program my daughter experiences “fewer meltdowns, more flexibility with combining foods, and lower stress when we follow Thalia’s plan.” Not only that, I know how to connect so much more as I’ve learned how to communicate better and work through those big feelings and anxiety when they come up.

My daughter’s tried several new food combinations, eaten food at multiple restaurants, and no longer needs a separate fork or spoon for each food item – she can successfully get through a meal with just one spoon or fork for all the foods… This may seem small, but when understand where this kiddo started, it’s pretty huge.
