"Better Family Meals was born out of my frustration with impractical advice on childhood feeding… advice that often focuses on nutrition alone. My goal is to emphasize the importance of HOW and not just WHAT we feed our families."
- Sarah Ladden, MS, RD, Founder of Better Family Meals
As a mom of three, I know how confusing and frustrating and overwhelming it can feel when your dinner table transforms into a battle zone.
But as a dietitian, I know there's a better way to feed. Without stress and meltdowns and battles.
A way to feed that shuns trickery and pressure tactics and promotes trust and independence.
And I would love to show you how.
Check out my 1:1 family nutrition sessions below, offered in-person and virtually.

WHAT TO EXPECT
No judgement. Parenting is hard. Impossibly hard. I know that everything you do (and have done) for your kiddo is done with love – even the missteps.
Our work together will focus first on eliminating interference and building TRUST in your child’s ability to know how much he needs to eat.
Goals will be geared toward improving your feeding relationship. When our work is done, you should FEEL GOOD ABOUT FEEDING and your child should FEEL GOOD ABOUT EATING.
By nurturing a positive eating environment, change happens. It will not happen overnight, but it will happen. Do things sometimes get worse for a bit before they get better? Yep. But I will prepare you for that and support you through that transition.
In learning how to feed better, you will lay the foundation for a healthy relationship with food – easy and joyful – for every member of the family.

Testimonials
"Thank you for helping me let go of all the guilt I've felt about my food choices as a mom. Meals are much more relaxed now that I'm not focused on every bite!"

"Better Family Meals has helped me change the way I feed my family. I was hesitant to use their services at first because my picky eater is a teenager. I knew “sneaking” vegetables into her food wasn’t the answer I was looking for. Better Family Meals taught me how to change the way I serve and offer food to her. It’s made for better dinners for all of us. My daughter is slowly getting used to more and more food, and I couldn’t be happier!"
