Food Ease

Food Ease is operated by Jacqui Morgan, a paediatric Speech Language and Feeding Therapist. Based in Aotearoa, New Zealand Jacqui is on a mission to make melatimes joyful again for every family who needs it!

Her approach to feeding is largely routed in 3 core values:

Fun: Obviously we take pride in making feeding therapy fun for kids so they enjoy participating. But, humour/fun/silliness (whatever you want to call it) is actually a secret weapon for diffusing tensions during mealtime too! It can help make mealtimes joyful again after such a long time feeling burdened by anxiety, shame and overwhelm for many parents and caregivers

Empathy: The families we work with report frustration and shame as some of the biggest feelings they experience as a parent of a child with feeding difficulties (what may have been seen as “picky eating”). We understand how isolating it can feel and a big part of helping you make progress is also helping you feel less alone in this struggle.

Partnership: We love staying up to date with the latest research so we can be as helpful as possible, but you are the expert in your child! We work together to find the right fit for your unique little eater, and are always grateful for the insights you bring to the table.

Jacqui provides 1-1 feeding therapy, and has also begun creating evidence-based resources to help even more families. Equitable access to supports is a big focus for Jacqui and by creating resources which are more affordable than feeding therapy it provides an accessible entry point for many families who need help
