Every parent wants what’s best for their children, and most would acknowledge that good nutrition is a large part of the equation. In a culture surrounded by packaged and artificially colored ‘kid’ foods, drive thrus, and endless birthday parties, the challenge of getting your kids to eat healthy, and stay healthy, is no small feat.

Nourishing The Spectrum

Nutrition in children with Autism is not a one-size-fits all approach. Autism is a multi-system problem that involves the transforming power of nutrition on digestive systems, immunity, imbalances, and detoxification. These systems affect brain, development, behavior, and language. A holistic approach to address these imbalances requires balancing digestion, minimizing toxins, and managing stress to bring inflammation and nervous stimulation down to normal levels.

What’s Included:

• Initial Intake Assessment to determine your child’s feeding type, texture preference, and nutrient deficiencies.
• Supplement consultation and protocol recommendations.
• Partnership with the child’s existing healthcare providers such as ABA, Speech, OT, PT, and primary care.
• Two, 1 hour in-home consultations, ideally during mealtime.
• Six autism-friendly recipes, one 5-day meal plan, and snack-time strategies.

“Nourishing the Spectrum is full of information that parents of children with autism and therapists who serve children with autism must know. Jaclyn’s approach to nutrition and wellness is easily implemented and supports other areas of development including speech, by focusing on foundational nutrition differences children with autism typically face.” Catherine C. M.Ed CCC-SLP

Foodie Families

Real, whole, clean foods should be the foundation of any healthy diet, and exposing your children to this type of eating as early as possible paves the path for a lifetime of good health. Children and adults can quickly slip into habits of mindless eating, packaged snacks, and poor food choices setting them up for the possibilities of disease, obesity, and poor health down the road. This package will dive into the details of meal planning, strategic snacking, involving your children in food prep, and the importance of passing along an appreciation of nutrition and health to the next generation.

What’s Included:

• Initial Intake Assessment to determine your family’s specific food goals.
• Two, 30 minute face-to-face, phone, or video consultations, ideally during mealtime.
• A healthy snack, drink, and dinner food tasting.
• One 5-day meal plan based on your family’s food preferences.

“I’ve attended dozens of cooking classes around the globe, and I think I learned more from Jaclyn’s class than any other.  She is not only a gifted instructor, but a talented cook. Her recipes are original, full of nutritional value, and delicious!   Her classes are well-organized, and everyone leaves with lots of new ideas to apply at home for more balanced and healthy eating. If you are interested in learning more about culinary nutrition, I’d highly recommend Jaclyn’s program.” Penny R.

Picky Eaters Package

Navigating the will of a picky eater is not for the faint of heart, but this package works to remove that term from your vocabulary. Before caving into a child’s impossibly demanding preferences one more meal, let’s evaluate the environment, attitudes, and beliefs around food making some simple adjustments. This package requires a consistent and uncompromising partnership from the parents as much as a shift in psychology of the child. Gain the confidence you need as a parent along with the change you wish to see in your children without nagging, forcing, or fighting.

What’s Included:

• Initial Intake Assessment that includes a food sensitivity and medical history questionnaire of your child.
• Two, 30 minute face-to-face, phone, or video consultations, ideally during mealtime.
• Three post-consultation follow-ups to include resources and recommendations and one 5-day meal plan.
