You Don't Have to Figure Out Feeding Your Child Alone
Feeding your child can feel like a full-time job.
One day they're eating everything. The next, they only want cheese. Suddenly you're making separate meals, negotiating over vegetables, or wondering whether every dinner will end in a meltdown.
Have you found yourself wondering…
“How do I cook one meal that everyone in the family can enjoy? 18-month-old and 4-year-old included?!”
“Why isn’t my 3-year-old eating eggs all of a sudden? This was their favorite food two days ago.”
“How can I get my partner on the same page with meals so we aren’t contradicting each other and fighting?”
You're not doing anything wrong. Feeding children is complicated, and most parents think they have to figure it out as they go.
Cristina provides personalized, practical feeding support to help you:
Feel more confident about what, when, and how to feed your child
Take the stress and second-guessing out of mealtimes
Understand your child’s changing appetite and eating habits
Navigate picky eating without pressure, battles, or guilt
Feel confident introducing solids and new foods
This isn’t a generic online course you’ll buy only to find out it doesn’t apply to your family or you never find time to watch. This is one-on-one support for six months tailored to your child. You don't need to overhaul your entire routine. You need support that meets you where you are. We will work together so you can:
Create mealtimes that feel more positive and manageable
Build healthy, sustainable eating habits that grow with your child
Know what to do when feeding challenges come up
Feel supported instead of having to figure it all out on your own
Know what to do when the plan doesn’t work
All sessions are virtual, so you can work with Cristina from home. In-person support is also available in Windham County, Vermont.
Meet Cristina, Your Family Table Nutritionist
Cristina believes mealtime doesn’t have to mean cooking separate meals, negotiating every bite, or wondering what your child will actually eat. She helps families move toward sharing one meal around the table with less stress, fewer power struggles, and more connection and enjoyment.
At the heart of Cristina’s approach is a simple belief: food is meant to be enjoyed. A perfectly ripe summer peach. A juicy tomato picked at its peak. A really satisfying slice of pizza. Food should nourish both body and soul. With the right tools and support, children can learn to enjoy a wide variety of foods, even when those foods are touching (gasp!).
Cristina holds a master’s degree in holistic nutrition from the National University of Natural Medicine and is certified in integrative health coaching through the University of Vermont. As a mom herself, she knows firsthand that feeding children can be complicated, messy, and sometimes downright frustrating. She’s still navigating the feeding journey with her own children, which is why she brings both professional knowledge and real-life experience to the families she supports.
Cristina works with infants, toddlers, picky eaters, and the parents who love them, helping families feel more confident and at ease around food. Her goal is to help you share one meal, sit down together, and actually enjoy your time at the table because mealtime should be about so much more than getting everyone to eat.
Who Do I Work With?
This isn't a one-size-fits-all feeding plan or a list of foods your child 'should' be eating. Cristina works with you one-on-one to understand your child, your concerns, and what daily life actually looks like in your home. Together, you'll create a personalized plan with realistic steps, ongoing support, and space to celebrate progress and troubleshoot along the way. The goal is not perfect eating. The goal is a family that feels more confident, less stressed, and better equipped to enjoy food together.
