If feeding your child feels heavy right now, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re carrying a lot: growth concerns, constipation, picky eating, school lunches that come home untouched, tube feeding routines, sensory sensitivities, and the daily question of “am I doing this right?”
Happy Eaters exists to replace that uncertainty with a clear, respectful plan—built around your child’s needs and your family’s realities.
Feel confident at the table.
PEDIATRIC DIETITIAN IN SURREY, BC
Maybe you’ve tried all the “common advice.”
You’ve read the blogs, asked friends, followed tips from professionals, and still feel stuck—because your child isn’t a simple case.
Some kids need a slower pace.
Some kids have sensory needs and “safe foods.”
Some kids are constipated and uncomfortable, so their appetite disappears.
Some kids eat at home but won’t touch lunch at school.
Some families are navigating tube feeding and managing more logistics than most people realize.
Happy Eaters was built for families who need practical guidance built on decades of professional care—the kind that meets your child where they are today and helps you move forward with less stress.
That means we don’t chase perfection. We build momentum: routines, nutrition upgrades that fit your child’s patterns, and strategies that protect trust at the table.
Our two-fold approach to no-pressure, long-term healthy eating:
support children with practical nutrition strategies
empower parents through calm, child-centred guidance
I’m also a mother of three teenage daughters, and one of them has special needs—so I understand the daily challenges you’re carrying, especially when picky eating, tube feeding, and constipation are part of the story.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working as a pediatric dietitian in BC Children’s Hospital, SunnyHill Health Centre, and Surrey Memorial Hospital.
I bring to you over 25 years of experience in pediatric nutrition.
