Welcome to Eat Play Love.

​

The struggle of feeding littles is real and more common than you might think. 

​

I am dedicated to helping you work through challenges in the comfort of your own home and to helping you find joy in nourishing and nurturing your child for life.

​

Eat Play Love is a pediatric occupational therapy practice in Orange County, CA specializing in treatment of feeding and swallowing challenges from breast or bottle feeding to semi-solids to table foods. I am currently offering in-home services across Orange County, CA with the option for telehealth across the state of California.

​

If you have concerns about your child's breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, eating solids, gross motor, or sensory development, please reach out to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation.

Testimonials 

"My family's journey with food has been rough. I didn't realize what it would mean for us to have 2 young boys struggle with eating balanced meals, in healthy ways. As a parent I'd feel guilty, wondering what I did wrong. I'd feel trapped. We couldn't enjoy eating out as a family, or being too far from home for fear of not being able to feed our kids. Working with Brittany gives us the tools to help our boys, with measurable progress week over week. More important, Brittany builds our confidence so we know we're doing the right things to help.

What's Brittany more, Brittany is kind, compassionate, and creative with her techniques. Her passion for her work is palpable. She is in contact with us during the week to make sure we're equipped for our sessions, and she checks in on how we're feeling. And as a mom, one of the greatest victories in all of this is that my boys absolutely love her. They can feel her love toward them, and with that they feel safe and encouraged to explore new food and new ways to think about mealtime. I highly recommend Brittany."
