Not Just Picky Eating- We Help Kids Overcome Fear of Food
Tired of mealtime battles? Frustrated with conflicting advice that just doesn’t work? We Help Kids Move from Fearful to Foodie (Without the Bribes or Battles)
Are you exhausted by mealtime meltdowns? Overwhelmed by advice that feels shallow, shame-filled, or simply doesn’t work? At Foodology Feeding, we do things differently. We go beyond surface-level picky eating tips and unravel the root causes behind your child’s eating challenges—whether it’s sensory sensitivities, gut health, oral motor delays, or mindset blocks.
We don’t believe in quick fixes or bribery tactics. Instead, we help parents create lasting mealtime transformations—so their child learns to love food naturally, without pressure or stress.
✨ Imagine meals filled with laughter instead of tension.
✨ Imagine watching your child try a new food—not because they have to, but because they want to.
✨ Imagine feeling proud, peaceful, and confident again.
If you’re ready to ditch the drama and finally help your child build a lifelong healthy relationship with food, you’re in the right place.
Not sure where to start?
We Understand—This Is More Than Just a Phase
It’s exhausting when every meal feels like a battle. You’re worn out from packing the same three “safe foods” every day, avoiding family outings or vacations because of food meltdowns, and quietly wondering, Will it ever get better?
You’ve tried all the usual advice—bribing, sneaking in veggies, “just one bite”—and none of it works. The good news? They don’t need to “outgrow it”- in fact, in many cases they won’t—but they can grow through it. They need the right approach. They need more than pressure and persistence. They need to feel safe, supported, and understood.
At Foodology Feeding, we go deeper. We don’t just help kids eat more—we help them trust food, trust their bodies, and build the confidence to try new things. We’re here to support you too—because when you feel calm and empowered, your child does too.
Our 3 Promises
🔹 More than therapy—real transformation.
We don’t just track food lists—we dig deep with a lot of 1:1 time to uncover what’s truly holding your child back. You’ll stop second-guessing and finally see meaningful progress, not just short-term wins.
🔹 A plan that fits your child, not a mold.
No one-size-fits-all advice here. You’ll get personalized insights and a clear, step-by-step roadmap built around your child’s unique challenges, strengths, and story so you can move forward. No cookie-cutter advice here!
🔹 You’ll feel empowered, not alone.
Through mindset coaching, sensory strategies, and oral motor support, we’ll guide you to turn food fear into curiosity—and mealtimes into moments of connection. No pressure. No bribery. Just confident steps forward. We help you turn your child’s food fears into confidence.

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.

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!!!
