Wait… no one said feeding kids would feel this hard.

We can help.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

I’m Danielle, a pediatric dietitian specializing in picky eating, digestion, and growth.

I work with families who feel stuck… where mealtimes are stressful, progress isn’t happening, and something still feels off.

At Nourished Pediatrics, I combine nutrition, feeding therapy, and gut health to understand why eating feels hard and create a plan that actually works.

Because food isn’t just fuel… it’s nourishment for their body, their confidence, and your connection as a family.

We help with:

Picky Eating & Mealtime Struggles

If your child eats the same foods on repeat, avoids fruits, veggies, or proteins, or refuses to try anything new, we help support more variety - without pressure, bribing, or mealtime battles. We also help ensure they’re getting the nutrition they need, even when they’re stuck in a rut.
Digestive Health

Tummy troubles make eating harder. We get to the root of constipation, reflux, and GI discomfort so kids feel better, poop better, and are more willing to eat. When needed, we use stool testing to help guide next steps.
Growth Concerns

Whether your child is skipping meals, snacking all day, or falling off the growth curve, we will create a plan to support healthy weight gain, better nutrition, and more energy, without added pressure.
Tube Feeding and Weaning

We work alongside your medical and therapy team to optimize tube feeds, transition to a blended tube feeding plan, and/or gently support a transition to eating more food by mouth, while ensuring they’re getting the calories & nutrition they need to feel their best in the meantime.
Functional Nutrition/Testing

We use micronutrient and stool testing to guide a personalized plan that supports brain development, energy, immunity, and overall wellness, especially for neurodivergent or medically complex kids.
Feeding Difficulties (PFD/ARFID)

If your child only eats a handful of foods, avoids whole food groups, gags with new textures, or has strong sensory or medical challenges, this goes beyond picky eating. We help ensure they’re getting the nutrients they need now - while working closely with your feeding therapy team to support long-term progress.

Client Success Stories

Danielle has been so great to work with. She is very knowledgeable and has helped our family in so many ways. Mealtimes are not as stressful now and my very picky eater is now trying new foods. This is a big improvement for my daughter's health. I have gained so much useful information from the video visits and test results.
- Jenn, mom of 9 year old
Danielle’s unique background in feeding therapy and her passion for helping my child eat real food made her the perfect fit for our family and goals. She gave us a step-by-step plan that helped my son become more comfortable with trying new foods. He added 8 new foods in just the first month of working together! I am no longer concerned about his nutrition. She gave us the peace of mind we so desperately needed to enjoy mealtimes again.
- Jess, mom of 5 year old
I had a lot of stress related to mealtimes because of my picky eater. I felt like I tried everything and his diet just kept becoming more and more restricted. The pediatrician reassured us that it was normal because he was gaining weight and growing, but I was concerned about his overall nutrition. Danielle gave us tips to help him become more comfortable with food and it worked like a charm! He is trying many more foods and mealtimes are much less stressful. My only regret is that I waited so long to reach out to her!
Danielle listened to my exact concerns and recommended steps I was comfortable implementing. I was happy she worked with us to find solutions tailored to our situation. I recommend 10/10!
- Dayna, mom of 2 year old
Working with Danielle has helped me understand and improve my child’s nutrition. With her tips and knowledge my son was able to achieve better eating habits, I learned how to introduce and portion food for him and how to better manage mealtimes making eating a good experience for my child and now is something he looks forward to.
- Emely, mom of 2 year old
Danielle was great to work with! She was patient and understanding and really aided in our daughters journey to gut health. Danielle is very knowledgeable in her field and went above and beyond to help us. Our daughter is now healthier and has regular bowel movements thanks to Danielle!
Danielle was fantastic! It only took one call to gather the feedback needed to get our son moving in the right direction from a nutritional standpoint. Our son now has regular bowel movements and has more variety in his diet. She is incredible! We highly recommend Danielle to any family!
- Caroline, mom of 3 year old
Danielle is awesome! She took the time to answer all my (many) questions, both in person and via email and text, about nutrition and how to help my son. He struggles with sensory issues particularly around food, and has a very limited list of tolerable foods. Danielle provided recipes and supplement suggestions as well as a blood test to see where more nutritional support was needed. With her help, even with a limited diet, I know my son is getting all the vitamins and minerals he needs to grow and thrive. I am so grateful she is part of my son's support team and I highly recommend her.
- Joni, mom of 8 year old
Danielle has been such a joy to work with. My son has celiac in addition to being a picky eater. She did such a great job of identifying an individualized and goal focused approach and my only sadness is we are doing so well that we’ve graduated from sessions and I won’t get to talk to her anymore. She worked with us to get micronutrient testing completed so we could make sure we were targeting his nutrition gaps first. I also had a goal to get off miralax. Between her tips and addition of better focused supplements, I now have a regular, non medicated pooper. Something I didn’t know I could be so excited about. So thankful that we found her! I can’t recommend her enough.
- Mallory, mom of 3 year old
I worked with Danielle to incorporate some natural remedies to help with constipation and a stool test that confirmed some food sensitivities. My toddler's pediatrician kept suggesting medicine but I'm happy I was able to avoid doing that by incorporating some Danielle's suggestion's. She is so kind, empathetic and most importantly knowledgeable.
I highly recommend her!
- Erin, mom of 2 year old
As first time parents, we had some anxiety about eating solids specifically around fostering a good relationship with food and preventing mealtimes from becoming stressful power struggles. Danielle offered great perspectives that eased our worries and we continually keep her words of encouragement and advice in mind as we introduce new foods. We can’t recommend consulting with Danielle enough. Not only is she extremely sweet and bonded immediately with our LO but she’s also an amazing resource as she has a wealth of knowledge in eating and nutrition for infants - children. We love Danielle!

- Rebekah, mom of 2 year old
Danielle is an amazing nutritionist and human! She helped us during a really tough couple of years with our kiddo, supporting us with having a gtube placed and supporting the weaning process. She thinks outside the box, meets your kid where they are at, and looks at their whole health not just their growth curve. She is unbelievably supportive and goes above and beyond for her patients - she even drove across the state to meet us! Highly recommend if your kiddo is having any eating issues - medical or otherwise.
