Parent Testimonial | Mother of Ben & Grace

Carol treated both my children in the intensive day program at Children’s Hospital of Richmond. When we entered the program. My 18-month-old daughter was nearly exclusively breastfed (“dream feeding”). And, my four-year-old with eosinophilic esophagitis was dependent on gastric tube feeding for the past three years. Within nine weeks, we were able to leave the program with the baby ready for weaning and the child totally weaned from tube feedings.

I believe that Carol’s hands-on experience as a feeding therapist cannot be matched: from chewing, utensil placement and food consistency to childhood dietary psychological stigmas, she is the best.

Over the course of the program, she developed great rapport with my children, such that she was able to effectively continue teleconferencing with us to ensure our continued feeding success. Throughout our journey, we had seen a multitude of therapists with diverse methods and philosophies none of which worked.

I highly recommend Carol as a pediatric feeding therapist, whose methods work.
