This programme has been developed by a private Children's Occupational Therapist and NHS & Private Children’s Dietitian. It is designed for parents of children with sensory and food-related challenges around mealtimes.
We understand how difficult it can be to access the right support through traditional services, so we’ve developed a comprehensive solution to help. Our programme covers both the sensory and dietary aspects of feeding, offering practical, expert guidance in a way that’s easy to follow. Plus, you’ll join an online community of parents and experts for ongoing support.
Parents & carers of children who find mealtimes and eating overwhelming.
Parents/Guardians of neurodiverse children who experience eating or feeding challenges
Children with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder or other sensory challenges
Children without a diagnosis (or are awaiting one) who have challenges relating to mealtime environments & food
Those with conditions like AFRID need specialist MDT support but could benefit from sensory related challenges with this programme
Children who will only eat a limited range of foods
Children who are very ‘fussy’ or ‘picky’ with regards to their eating habits
Children who struggle with specific textures or flavours of food
Children who gag/ vomit when they see/ taste/ smell certain foods
Children who cannot eat in the same room as their family/ friends
Experience sensory overload in noisy or busy eating environments Children who cannot eat outside the home
Many parents don’t realise how deeply sensory needs affect their child’s willingness to try new foods or feel comfortable during meals. Unmet sensory needs can lead to food refusals, stress at the table, and limited diets.
We have condensed the most useful advice from our private Occupational Therapy and Dietetics Consultations into one easy-to-follow programme that will equip you with the skills to support your sensory eater.

“Having exhausted our avenues within the NHS and getting nowhere, Dr Kirsty Porter was a very welcome source of positivity. We felt listened to and our issues were taken seriously. The help and guidance offered not only alleviated our own stress, but it more importantly has helped put actions in place for our daughter. It will be a long journey, but even in the past few weeks we have noticed small, positive changes. We would highly recommend Dr Kirsty Porter and are very thankful for her advice.”
“Before meeting Kirsty meal times were stressful and Kirsty has helped de-stress mealtimes with her techniques and advice. I have seen an improvement in my child from the start to end with Kirsty and I couldn’t have asked for a better dietician. Kirsty’s experience helped my child develop with eating and meal times aren’t as stressful now. ”
Catriona
“Before I found this programme, I felt like I was hitting my head off a brick wall with the NHS for our son's sensory eating vomiting & other food challenges. Kirsty & Grace have blended together their OT and Dietetics knowledge into a really useful and practical programme that lets you map out a path to support your child to feel comfortable at mealtimes. You can then take the next step of broadening their food horizons with the rest of the step-by-step programme. Don't hesitate - it's worth every penny. ”
Tierna
“Before Dr Kirsty I was confused about how to manage my boy’s fussy eating and felt I wasn’t in control. Now I feel confident and relaxed with lots of new ideas to put into practice. ”

Check out our powerful bonuses, that add to this programme
This programme is for parents and caregivers of children who struggle with sensory challenges related to food. If your child has difficulty trying new foods, avoids certain textures, or shows extreme reactions to mealtimes, this programme will provide the tools and strategies to help.
The programme is designed to be completed at your own pace. You can go through the materials and workbooks step-by-step, allowing time to implement strategies in between sessions. There’s no rush—take it one meal at a time!
Yes, the programme is highly adaptable. It provides a personalised action plan based on your child’s sensory profile, making the strategies applicable to your unique family dynamics.
No, all webinars are pre-recorded and available on demand. You can watch them at a time that suits you best, pause for breaks, and revisit key sections as needed.
While the programme offers comprehensive support from both a dietitian and occupational therapist, it’s not a replacement for NHS services. It complements professional care by providing ongoing, practical strategies to implement at home.
We focus on gradual exposure techniques, food chaining, and creating a positive, sensory-friendly mealtime environment. You’ll learn how to gently introduce new foods and textures while making your child feel safe and in control.
We’ve created a supportive community for parents like you. You’ll have access to our private Facebook group where you can ask questions, share experiences, and get guidance from experts and other parents. There is also an option for further discounted consultations or 1:1 support from Dr Kirsty or Grace.
All the workbooks and downloadable resources are available in your online portal. You can access them at any time and use them alongside the webinars for a hands-on approach to supporting your child.
Our Programme is play based so is suited best to children between the ages of 3 and 10. If you're looking for a quick and simple solution, this is not for you. The journey of helping your child overcome sensory eating challenges takes time, patience and persistence. We focus on meeting your child where he/she is and working at their pace. Consistency is key. If your child has a complex eating disorder such as anorexia, bulimia or body dysmorphia or AFRID. These children need very specific assessment and support.
Grace and I have both seen firsthand how many families struggle to get the right support when it comes to sensory feeding challenges. With nearly 30 years of combined experience as a children’s dietitian and occupational therapist, we have witnessed the frustration parents feel when there is no coordinated support through the NHS or a clear path to follow.
We created this programme because we understand the need for a joined-up approach, and we want to offer families the comprehensive, practical help that simply isn’t available through traditional services. Both of us have also experienced these challenges personally, and we know how overwhelming it can be without the right resources and guidance. This programme is designed to bridge that gap, providing you with expert support that covers both the sensory and dietary aspects of feeding. You can also be part of our online community of other parents on the same boat to get ongoing support from each other as well as experts providing some support too.
