Navigating Mealtime Anxiety Through Sensory and Nervous System Regulation

A Two-Part Webinar Series: Navigating Mealtime Anxiety Through Sensory and Nervous System Regulation

Presented by an Rebecca Barnard (Nourish Therapy) and Andrea Greer (Nurturing Relationships)

Does your child become overwhelmed, anxious, or shut down at mealtimes? You're not alone—and you're not doing anything wrong.

This two-part webinar series is designed especially for parents navigating the daily stress of feeding challenges. Together, we’ll explore how your child’s sensory sensitivities, nervous system responses, and emotional safety play a powerful role in how they experience food and mealtimes.

Facilitated by an Occupational Therapist and a Registered Social Worker & Play Therapist, this series offers a compassionate, neuro-affirming approach to understanding and supporting your child.

In Part 1 (24th July 2025), we’ll dive into the nervous system and how this impacts mealtimes, with strategies 
In Part 2 (31st July 2025), we’ll develop an understanding of neuroception and its relationship to mealtimes & the impact of interoception on mealtimes 

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of what’s really happening for your child at mealtimes

• Tools to support your child’s nervous system before, during, and after meals

• Ways to shift from pressure and frustration to safety and connection

Let’s reimagine mealtimes as opportunities for trust, regulation, and growth.
