You’re chronically overwhelmed by food, feeding, and meals.

You research, learn, and try new things, but nothing is working.

You just want your kids to be happy and healthy.

Because while feeding kids is never easy…it definitely doesn’t have to be this hard!

Hi! I’m Kristen. Pediatric dietitian and mom of two kids with feeding challenges.

As both a full-time mom and a full-time dietitian, trust me when I say I get it! I’ve been in the trenches, feeding two young boys and planning daily meals…while working and doing all the mom things.

I want to help you make this part of your day easier. With an extensive clinical background of over 9 years and battle-tested personal experience, I’ll work with your child by adapting tools and approaches to meet their needs. But, I’ll also work with you, giving you strategies your whole family can get on board—and has time for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept health insurance?

YES! Currently in-network with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Cigna PPO, Aetna, and Connecticare. Most insurance covers nutrition coverage! Please verify your insurance benefits PRIOR to your appointment to understand your coverage.

What if my insurance does not have a lot of nutrition coverage?

If you only have a small amount of coverage, we’ll make the most out of our time together and I’ll set you up for success at home as best I can! I also offer a 3-Month Support Plan with lite support via messaging. It’s a great option for existing clients who run out of coverage, but still want my help.

What happens if you do not participate with my insurance?

We highly recommend you check with your insurance company to see if they will cover nutrition services from out-of-network providers prior to your visit. You are responsible for payment at the time of service. A superbill can be given at the end of your visit. You can then submit the superbill to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.

What is the location of in-person visits?

Appointments to be provided in the comfort of your own home or a mutually agreed upon location where your child is most comfortable. Located Newtown, CT or within a 30 minute radius. Kristen also sees families in Darien, CT on Thursdays.

Can I use my insurance for telehealth services?

Currently (2023) due to the pandemic most insurances are covering for telehealth services. Therefore, when you schedule your visit you will be directed towards the next steps to setting up properly for your telehealth session. However, it is possible your insurance plan may impose a cost-share for you to use this service. Therefore, please call your insurance company to confirm your telehealth coverage PRIOR to scheduling your visit.

**Do you see patients out of state*?**

Yes, telehealth services are available to those in the United States. Please verify your teleheath insurance coverage if I participate with your insurance. Superbills can also be provided if out-of-network. HSA/FSA cards and credit cards are accepted.
*Please note we do follow licensure rules so patients in certain states may be exempt from seeing us.

Do you accept HSA/FSA (health savings account)?

Yes, these forms of payment are accepted.
