Magnificent Munchers

Magnificent Munchers We help children with ARFID, and those who are fussy and picky eaters to feel comfortable around food. Groups take place in St Albans and Welwyn Garden City.

Jacqueline Parkinson’s Magnificent Munchers specialises in helping children increase their food range by making food fun and working at each child's pace. The team consists of an Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist, two Therapy Assistants and a Dietician. We will work with children with a variety of conditions including ARFID

We offer individual and group intervention depending on the child's need and age. Zoom sessions
Jacqueline offers zoom therapy sessions to children over 8. Following a FREE 15 meet and greet weekly sessions take place over zoom with Jacqueline and the child having the same foods each end of the zoom. We will help fussy eaters to enjoy a full range of foods and eat happily with the family at home

Individual Sessions
Following a meal time assessment sessions take place at home at a time when your child is peckish. After school sessions available

Group Sessions
These run over a school term on a Saturday and Tuesday and are suitable for children at primary school.

Food Therapy at home. The child doesn’t eat any solid foods so we have a long road ahead but we have already made loads of progress as she will now touch most foods but is finding wet ones a challenge but today she had lots of fun playing with the messy textures.

In an@individual therapy session a child decided to add cinnamon to omelette as he loves the spice. He ate more omelette with cinnamon than plain or cheese.

Lots of children we see don’t eat chocolate. These look like a fab alternative but still with an Easter egg theme. 🥳

Some used it as a paint and some dipped pasta into it. Fantastic achievements. We are full next term but never too early to book for September.

An individual session where sauce was a food he wanted to work on. He chose how much to add to the rice and we had already done lots of preparation work with the sauce. Change takes time.
