Hey!
I'M GRACE

First Bites is a look into the experiences and discoveries of my journey as a registered dietitian and first-time mom, exploring and navigating the food world, starting with baby-led-weaning, with my son, Hudson.

With nearly a decade of experience in pediatric nutrition, coaching parents on how to feed their families as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Masters of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics, it wasn’t until I went through the experience of feeding my own child that I came to my “ah-ha” moment of,  “Oh, this is what it’s like to navigate the exciting, stressful and confusing world that is feeding a child.” Even with thousands of hours of nutrition education, I suddenly felt lost. What should I feed him? How much? When? and more, are all questions I’ve been advising to parents for years and personally navigating.

What started as a personal journey of baby-led-weaning shared with family and friends, has now evolved into a life-long mission to help parents nourish their littles with whole foods, flexibility and fun.

I’ve dedicated my career to the pursuit of helping kids grow from the very first bite.
