SLEEP CONSULTANT     EATING AND WEANING     BEHAVIOUR AND DISCIPLINE

Two boys aged 2.5 years old and 16 months

When I called Kathryn I was beside myself - all I seemed to do was cook all day and then throw the uneaten results in the bin. I’m a good cook, it’s just that no one would eat it! Each meal brought on a feeling of dread. What can I give them? What won’t I have to throw away? My repertoire of foods was getting smaller and smaller, and with it, my will to carry on. I needed help and fast!

After a fantastically reassuring call with Kathryn, it was clear that she was right for us and we straight away made an appointment for a consultation. Kathryn met with my husband and I, and she very quickly understood where we needed help and guidance, and our three day sessions were booked in.

I can honestly say I was really looking forward to her visit, I knew it would be challenging at times but this was an opportunity to make a real difference for our family.

My brief to Kathryn was simple, I wanted to be able to make ‘one meal’ for our family and then watch it being emptied into hungry little mouths rather than into the bin.

Within hours of being in our house, miracles happened. My younger son was spooning new tastes and textures into his mouth. And my eldest son was asking if it was the next meal-time, just so he could cook again!

The impact on our family has been enormous. My boys are eating well and are eating a fantastically rounded diet - and as such, are so much happier and healthier in-themselves. My meal time dread has gone and been replaced by the contentment of full little tummies ☺
