Struggling with kids’ mealtimes?

You are not alone.

I help parents and carers learn how to show kids…

  • eating together can be fun

  • new foods aren’t so scary

  • mealtimes are for eating

  • snacks aren’t the only food

 

The Peas & Love approach

  • No strict rules.

  • No forbidden foods

  • No need to be perfect

  • 100% supportive

I believe food should be fun not a chore, so I show parents and carers how to nurture a healthier, happier mindset around eating – one that will last kids a lifetime.

I believe in evidence-based techniques, applied with kindness and harnessing the super-power of community.

 

What I do

I provide workshops, webinars and individual consultations to support parents, carers, and early years practitioners to:

  • introduce kids to new foods in a way they can enjoy

  • show kids how to make their own food choices

  • handle 'picky eating' without losing their cool

  • create happier, more relaxed mealtimes for everyone

 

Feedback from parents and carers

Just want to say I went to a Peas and Love workshop and would thoroughly recommend it.

Most of us have an idea of nutrition, we know how kids “should” have a varied diet, and the right balance, lots of us approach parenting and weaning from an educated, child-led, modern parenting direction. And yet... we end up locked in a battle with our kids, using bribery and threats and battling for control around every mealtime.
I really thought this workshop wouldn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know, and that it just didn’t work for my kid. And instead I came away much kinder on myself, with a wider understanding of why my kid might not like new stuff, and how sometimes it isn’t even about food at all. Along with some really practical and doable ways to improve the situation with minimal effort.

If you are struggling, I really suggest you give these guys a go (I’m not being paid to promote them, I just really think they are kinda great).

We had a 45 minute consultation and learned so much to take away with us. In such a short space of time Viola was able to identify the things we had been getting right but also where we needed to make some positive changes. We have already started to put some of the recommendations in the place and recognise that this will be part of a longer journey. Throughout the consultation we felt understood and reassured.

I highly recommend Peas&Love if you find mealtimes stressful as you’re worrying about what and how much your child eats.

I contacted Viola for my 3 year old who had very limited foods that he would eat and would never try new foods.

Since working with her my son has tried numerous new foods, is confident to tell me when he’s full and when he wants something specific to eat. The changes I have seen in my son and his eating have made me so happy and I’m so glad I contacted Viola for help. Most importantly meal times are not stressful anymore.
