 “As a first-time mother, I came to Malina full of anxieties over my 8-month old's waning interest in milk and solids. I was in full-on panic mode and up multiple times during the night to try and get any nutrition into her that I could. Together, Malina and I developed a plan to get my baby back to a daytime feeding schedule and stimulate an excitement over new foods and textures. She gave me all kinds of baby-led weaning recipe ideas to try, different brands of foods to check out, and even got my baby drinking out of a straw in just one day! Now, my baby is loving her milk and eating all kinds of foods like chia, shrimp, fresh herbs, mascarpone cheese, and quinoa! Malina is such a wonderful source of knowledge - thank you for helping my baby develop a love of new foods and for putting this new mama at ease!”

Solve Picky Eating

If you’re at the end of your rope with picky eating behaviors in your kids, you’re not alone... I’ve been there and know how frustrating and debilitating it can be.

If working 1:1 with me is not possible for you at this time, I want you to know that you have options. My self-paced online course for caregivers costs less than half of a private session with me and provides an arsenal of strategies and tips that will help.

The course teaches you how to set up a healthy family feeding structure that will end food battles, reduce picky eating, banish mealtime stress, and grow healthy, adventurous eaters.

  • "Malina has truly helped not only my son with his eating but has educated me as a mother on my role in his picky eating and what I need to do to help him overcome his fear of trying new foods. She is patient, compassionate, honest and very very educated. I had lost hope and she helped me regain the confidence I needed in my son and myself!"
