Parents and children walking together, representing Grate Adventures' mission to guide families through feeding challenges.

Helping parents of neurodivergent children reduce mealtime stress and expand food variety.

Helping neurodivergent children with autism, ADHD, and restrictive eating feel confident around food by supporting parents with practical, dietitian-led feeding guidance.

If mealtimes are filled with anxiety, sensory overwhelm, or nutrition worries, you are not alone. I help families to feel confident feeding their child.

If you are looking for simple steps that make a real difference, this is where to begin.

I went from feeling helpless watching meals go untouched to creating mealtimes where kids explore food willingly.

Hi, I'm Kristy!

I know how exhausting and disheartening mealtimes can feel, especially when your child is autistic and food feels like a daily battle. I’ve seen the stress, the worry, and the frustration when every strategy seems to fall short.

Through years of working alongside families as a feeding therapist, I’ve learned how to create a mealtime environment that encourages eating. My approach helps children feel safe exploring food at their own pace, while giving parents the tools and confidence to support them without pressure.

I’ve walked with many families of autistic children as they’ve rebuilt trust at the table, celebrated progress, and rediscovered joy in mealtimes - and I’d love to help you do the same.

The Confident Eater Nutrition Check-In Reflection Workbook

Are you worried about your child’s nutrition because they eat a limited range of foods?

December 12, 20252 min read

This free Nutrition Check-In is for you if…

  • You are lying awake at night wondering whether your child’s limited food intake is “okay,” but feeling too overwhelmed or unsure to know where to start.

  • You are exhausted by conflicting advice and well-meaning comments that make feeding feel heavier, harder, and more stressful than it already is.

  • You deeply want to support your child’s growth and wellbeing, while still honouring their sensory needs, autonomy, and emotional safety at the table.

How many times have you wanted to feel confident about your child’s nutrition, but felt stuck between worrying too much and avoiding thinking about it altogether?

How often have you felt that you are…

…second-guessing every meal and wondering if you should be doing more, while already feeling stretched thin.

…noticing your child avoids entire food groups and feeling a knot in your stomach when talk of nutrition comes up.

…wanting professional guidance, but feeling that appointments, costs, or waitlists make support feel out of reach right now.

…trying to stay calm and supportive at the table, while fearing that important nutrients are being missed.

When instead, you want…

…to understand where your child’s nutrition is already okay, instead of only focusing on what isn’t going well.

…to replace constant worry with awareness and a clearer sense of what matters right now.

…to feel grounded, informed, and confident when nutrition questions come up with family, teachers, or health professionals.

…to support your child in a way that feels respectful of their needs and who they are.

Here’s what we’re going to cover in the workbook…

I am going to walk you through three simple steps to better understand your child’s nutrition needs, even if your child eats only a handful of foods or mealtimes already feel overwhelming.

  1. A simple way to check in on key nutrients commonly missed by sensory eaters, without food tracking or pressure

  2. Links to resources a Dietitian would give you with food examples that make nutrition easier to understand

  3. Reflection questions that help you decide what nutrients (if any) needs further exploration

This free, printable workbook is designed to help you pause, reflect, and gain clarity around your child’s nutrition. It is not about diagnosing deficiencies or forcing change. It is about awareness, reassurance, and knowing if extra support might be helpful.

If you are ready to replace uncertainty with confidence - without adding pressure to your child or yourself - you can download the workbook below.
