Food Therapy Services
Feeding struggles are rarely “just picky eating.”
At Foodology Feeding Therapy, we take a whole-child, systems-based approach to feeding. Instead of focusing only on behavior or exposure, we look at how your child’s oral-motor skills, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, nutrition, and mindset interact to shape how they eat — and how eating feels in their body.
Most feeding evaluations look at skills in isolation. This approach looks at the full picture, which is why families often experience clearer answers and more sustainable progress — without pressure, force, or endless trial-and-error.

The Safe and Sound Protocol is great to work on nervous system regulation in a fun way– through listening to music! It requires use of headphones, but can be done on your own time, in your own home.

July 13, 2024Thank you for the Reki Master Healing. Even though it was distant, it was so powerful. Most people would not believe what happened. I had a occipital migraine. That’s what I call it where I can’t see through the spectrum of light after Christine sent Reiki to me for five minutes, the light and the cracked illusions that I was experiencing began to fade away. She completed the healing, and there was only a little band of distortion left after resting for a couple of minutes only my vision was clear, and the migraine had totally disappeared. Thank you so much Christine you are an awesome healer. -Lorry Salluzzi Sensei , Reiki Máster

October 24, 2023For the last 6 months, our family has had the privilege of working with Haley. Our child is a late talker, and very cautious around strangers. Within two weeks, she built a great rapport and has helped our child to make great improvements ...

November 4, 2023My son started services with Haley in June and it has been so wonderful working her! We have seen great improvement in his speech and recognition. He could not be more happy to see her when she walks in! He loves all the toys she brings and its amazing to see him so engaged. I am so grateful that we have Haley working so closely with our son, she has made such an incredible impact on his life in such a short amount of time. I can't recommend Haley and Foodology Feeding enough, you will not be disappointed!

January 15, 2024Unlocking Mealtimes was a true gift to our family. By the time our youngest daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease, she had narrowed her accepted foods down to a bare minimum. I was out of ideas, patience, and time—while she was not growing at all. As a mom, I couldn’t help but feel like I had done something wrong. We had already done in person speech and feeding therapy which didn't work, and didn't feel right. Christine and her program provided the encouragement and tools I needed to break the unhelpful patterns I had fallen into. The mindset portion of the curriculum was, for us, possibly the most important piece. By combining gut-healing strategies with mindset shifts and steady encouragement, our daughter has begun a lifelong healing journey. She is now eating, trying new foods, and finally growing. Her academics are improving because of better nutrition—and she’s even eating foods I never touched as a child!

September 5, 2025Safe and Sound Protocol Review: I have two daughters and each of them individually benefited from the Safe and Sound Protocol. My ten year old is chronically anxious about everything in her life and struggles with executive dysfunction and getting needed tasks done. She also has a very hard time with her emotions. She was wanting to try herself to see if it would help her- within only a week of starting , she noticed a difference . She verbally was telling me how much less anxious she was- we saw how she was starting to better control her emotions and not always resort to crying immediately- fast forward a few weeks later and we have seen such a difference in her. She actually puts herself out there now, even auditioning for a role at school which she never would have done in the past. We are able to have many conversations now without it ending in crying or shutting down. I’m incredibly happy we gave this program a chance and would really recommend it to anyone who has a child who really is struggling with any type of emotional . Dysregulation. My other daughter is younger (6 years old) and has a language processing delay as well as ADHD . She has some anxiety too, but we wanted to try this program to help promote more balance and focus in her life. She first struggled to sit even 5 minutes calmly to listen - by end of week two she was asking to sit all on her own 15-20 minutes . I was blown away- never in the 6 years we have had her was she ever able to sit calmly for that long of a period of time. We noticed her reading was improving in school- and her therapy sessions- because she was able to focus better on the material! She went through some testing recently and was getting 100 percent on all the material being taught in Kindergarten. I was really blown away for both of my kids- and really would recommend anyone on the fence to give it a try!

FAQs
The most frequently asked questions we hear
Do You Take Insurance?
We Fill the Gap That Insurance-Based Clinics Often Miss
Unlike most insurance-based therapy providers, we don’t just check a box or follow a 6-session template.
We specialize in complex, layered feeding cases — the ones that often get dismissed, delayed, or underserved in traditional systems.
That’s why we’re private-pay only — so we can provide the depth of evaluation, individualized planning, and ongoing support these families truly need.
But we also know cost matters.
We offer tools to help families access out-of-network reimbursement:
A downloadable Insurance Appeal Toolkit with ready-to-use templates and parent guides
Customized superbills that reflect medically necessary services and align with insurer language
Can You Travel To My Home?
We do! It depends on your location, and therapist availability, but we see many kids in home! Call to get availability and pricing for travel.
I have an evaluation from a previous facility, do I still need one?
It depends and is determined on a case by case basis. Okay If the evaluation is over a year old, we would need to re-do the evaluation.
Due to the comprehensive nature of our evaluations, many evaluations are just not detailed enough to give us the information we need.
We will look over the evaluation free of charge and let you know if it can be used to start services.
Can we do it virtually over video chat?
Yes! We can work with you virtually as well as in-person. Please feel free to reach out to us and we’ll be happy to accommodate you.
