Virtual Feeding Coaching For Parents Right From the Comfort of Your Living Room.
Expert virtual pediatric feeding coaching for bottle refusal, picky eating and everything in between designed to help you feel more confident at the table.
Disclaimer: Because virtual parent coaching is a consultative service (not direct therapy), it’s not eligible for insurance reimbursement, and superbills can’t be provided for this service.
You don’t need to go at it alone or wait until feeding gets worse. Whether you're overwhelmed by mealtimes, unsure how to help your child try new foods, or feeling brushed off by your pediatrician, this is the place to feel seen, heard, and supported.
What Is Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching gives you expert, personalized support without needing to leave home or commit to ongoing therapy.
You’ll get one-on-one virtual feeding support from a nationally certified speech-language pathologist and pediatric feeding specialist, with insight and strategies tailored to your child’s needs and your parenting style.
Backed by clinical training and years of real-world experience, this service bridges the gap between expert therapy and practical parenting.
The Ocean Pediatric Feeding Difference
Most clinics:
→ Take your child into a therapy room while you wait outside
→ Offer little parent involvement or coaching
→ Give you a quick 2‑minute recap at the end of the session
→ See your child once a week with no guidance in between
At OPF:
✓ You stay involved in every single session
✓ You get real‑time strategies and coaching while your child learns
✓ Sessions are focused on making adjustments in the moment not just talking about it after the fact
✓ You get on-going support

“Wonderful! Sarah came to my rescue when I was having a hard time introducing food to my baby who for months refused to really eat anything, in a couple months we got my 1 year old eating like a normal baby instead of spitting everything out . Amazing and very experienced and knowledgeable who helped me through a difficult time. Thank you again!”

“Sarah has been such a blessing for our family! She is so kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She truly cares and works so well with my son. I have learned so much from her and am so grateful for all that she has done! She was the most recommended feeding therapist when I was looking and I completely understand why! She truly is the best in the area and I can not say enough good things about her!”
- Brandi
★★★★★
“Sarah worked with my 18 month old for about 2 months and the progress we have seen with his eating is incredible. Mealtimes are so much less stressful for our family now. Sarah is extremely knowledgable and experienced in her field and we trusted her completely throughout the process…I would recommend Sarah to anyone looking for pediatric feeding therapy!”

Why Early Support Makes All the Difference
Many parents are told: “It’s just a phase.” or “They’ll grow out of it.” or “They’re gaining weight, so it’s fine.”
But the truth is, intervention is what leads to improvement. Waiting often delays progress, reinforces picky habits, and increases stress for everyone. Feeding challenges rarely improve on their own. Let's change that. Together.
Also important: This plan helps you avoid common parenting pitfalls that may unknowingly reinforce the problem offering you gentle, judgment-free coaching to shift those habits.

FAQs
-
This is for any parent feeling stuck, worried, or just unsure about what’s going on with feeding. Whether your baby is gagging on solids, your toddler only eats three foods, or you just have that gut feeling something’s off, virtual coaching gives you a calm, supportive space to figure it out together.
-
Virtual parent coaching is focused on you, because you’re the one there at every meal. Rather than me working hands-on with your child, I guide you step-by-step to understand what’s going on, what to try, and how to respond in real-time.
You’ll get expert insight, customized strategies, and practical tools you can use right away — in your home, on your schedule, and with confidence. It’s not about doing more, it’s about doing what works with support every step of the way.
-
Yes — virtual support is highly effective.
In fact, many families see just as much progress virtually as they do in person.That’s because real change happens at home, during everyday meals — not just during a once-a-week session. That’s why coaching parents through real-life moments is already a key part of my in-person therapy.
Virtual coaching gives you the same expert support and personalized strategies, with the added benefit of practicing in your child’s natural environment — where it matters most.
-
Occasional picky eating is common — but if your child eats a very limited variety, drops foods regularly, or mealtimes are full of battles and stress, it’s more than a phase.
Even if your child is growing well, feeding challenges can take a toll on nutrition, family routines, and mental health. You deserve real support. I help families understand why picky eating happens and how to create a plan that actually works — without pressure or power struggles.
-
Only if you’re in one of the packages that includes video review and even then, it’s on your terms. Some families love the extra insight, others prefer to just talk through what’s happening. Either way, we’ll make it work for you.
-
We’ll start with a 60-minute Zoom call to go over what’s happening, what’s hard, and what’s helped (or hasn’t). I’ll walk you through strategies, give live feedback, and follow up with a written summary so you’re not left trying to remember everything.
-
Yes! You’ll get clear, personalized notes with practical strategies and next steps—so you’re not guessing what to do once the call ends.
-
Absolutely. If you’re unsure, book a free intro call and we’ll talk through what’s going on. No pressure, just a conversation to figure out the kind of support that feels right for your family.
