About Our Guest: Dr. Samantha Goldman
Hi friends! I’m Sam, but my clients love to call me Dr. Sam. My mission is to help families bring the magic back into their mealtimes. The parents that I support dream of their child having a happy, healthy relationship with food. But when their child has feeding challenges and just won’t eat, they’re left feeling lost, concerned, and like a bad parent. Through my 10 years of experience as an occupational therapist, I saw first-hand how these eating difficulties not only affected a child’s health but their family dynamics. And so I was empowered to do something about it. I realized that parents were lacking the resources and guidance they needed to feed their child. So, I made them myself! In my exclusive Food Explorers Membership I teach parents how to create peaceful, no-pressure mealtimes where you can spend time connecting with your family instead of focusing on food battles with your child. And in my Making Sense of Eating course I teach parents how to help their child overcome “sensory issues” at the table so they can start exploring and trying new foods.
