Praise For Our Unique Approach...
Nothing brings us more pride than witnessing the success our clients achieve through our unique approach. At Foodology Feeding, we firmly believe that our success is intrinsically linked to yours.
Rachel Nunez
I am 32 years old and have been an extremely picky eater my whole life. My parents tried so many things to get me to eat better – a therapist, reward system and punishment. Nothing worked. I have tried on my own for years and was only able to add on a few foods. Then I looked online for help and found Foodology Therapy! Christine Miroddi was able to tell me why I am so picky (tongue tied) and help me try all different foods. She took the steps with me slowly so to not stress me and it worked!! I even tried salmon and liked it and I always said I’ll never try fish. She is a life saver!

We started feeding therapy with Christine since my child was about 5 months. Her evaluation was comprehensive and through. Each appointment she was fully focused on my child and always listens to what I’m saying as a parent. I never felt like I wasn’t being heard. She is always available to help in between appointments. She has been with our family through pre and post tongue tie release as well as feeding therapy. I have learned so much from her. She has a great deal of knowledge and is always willing to help. I moved from NY and she was able to help us virtually. She would always send us handouts with pictures of what exercises we should be doing with our child and links to toys/tools needed for my child to make a stressful experience a little better. From tummy time, to oral play, to feeding therapy, suck/swallow exercises and more – Her advice is valuable and comes from experience. Christine truly genuinely cares about her clients, understands a parent’s struggle and we’re so grateful for all that she has done and continues to do for our family.

I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Cove Speech Language And Foodology Feeding Therapy. They helped my son go from not wanting to put any solid foods even close to his mouth, to trying all sorts of new foods in just a few months. The therapists worked with him on his sensory issues, on self-feeding, and on learning to chew. They were patient and friendly, and through play, made it a very enjoyable experience for my son. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs speech and/or feeding therapy. I will never forget how much they helped my son and I am forever grateful to them.
Kimberly Green
I have nothing but good things to say about this place. They have helped my daughter tremendously in the past year. If you have a child that is struggling to eat or has a fear of food or of different texture, I would highly recommend giving them a call. They are so sweet and gentle with my child yet, extremely effective at the same time.

We've been working with Foodology doing at home feeding therapy for our Autistic son with severe food aversion for about 7 months or so now, and we could not be more happy about the incredible progress he's made so far! With our first therapist, he started off super anxious and running away from anything edible, and within a short time got comfortable touching and playing games with various food items. I appreciated the always positive, playful and most of all respectful approach. For the last several months we've been working with Haley, who has been so wonderful, always prioritizing rapport and connection before introducing any new challenges, and allowing my son to accept new steps at his own pace. Currently he's gone from not wanting to touch food at all to readily placing food items in his mouth and biting them on request. I give my son a ton of credit for being so brave but I also don't think he'd feel so comfortable about any of it if it weren't for the super supportive, respectful and attuned approach by our wonderful therapist. He's very musical so Haley even took the time to come up with multiple songs to help him understand and accept the next steps. We are so grateful for Foodology and its amazing therapists, who have helped our son overcome severe aversion that we felt helpless about for years. Thank you so much!!!
