Hi! I’m Dani.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, author, and early childhood education advocate
As a nutrition expert with 16+ years of experience and degrees in both food science and health communications, sharing my passion for food and nutrition is one of the things I love to do. From kids to adults, I offer workshops, speaking engagements, and live learning experiences tailored to the unique needs of every audience.
I focus on creating transformative, inclusive learning experiences with a focus on health equity from a food and body positive lens.
Let’s explore how I can support your organization!
What we bring to the table
Kid-Centric Approach
Our resources and activities are designed to build kids confidence and competence with hands-on learning and fun food play.
Parent-First Mentality
As parents ourselves, we appreciate the challenges that come with child nutrition and can connect with our audience in an authentic way.
Science-Backed Support
With a foundation in human nutrition, our content isn’t just fun, it’s also rooted in the latest research on children’s health and wellness.
Tailored Educational Experiences
Each workshop and accompanying resources is thoughtfully crafted with the
needs of each unique audience in mind.
