Jemma provides Feeding Therapy (individual and in groups) for children with restricted food intake, including  sensory and oro-motor challenges. She is trained in both the Division of Responsibility of Feeding and SOS approach to Feeding Therapy and is a strong believer in incorporating strategies that fit for your child/family/your child's body (i.e. not force feeding/punishment for not eating.)
