Hey, I'm Kristine!
I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist with a Master’s degree from the University of Florida and years of experience supporting children’s development. Over time, I developed a strong interest in feeding therapy after seeing how picky eating and oral-motor challenges impacted many of the kids I worked with.
Here at Little Bites, we are dedicated to empowering children to eat comfortably, without stress. By providing individualized, evidence-based feeding and occupational therapy services in the home environment.
My Approach
I take a comprehensive, whole-body approach to feeding therapy. Each session is thoughtfully designed to enhance regulation and comfort at mealtimes by incorporating sensory integration principles. In a calm and trusting environment, I gently introduce new foods, helping children feel safe and empowered as they expand their diet and build positive mealtime experiences.
My sessions are in the home environment which allows me to better understand the current mealtime structure, provide more personalized recommendations, and work closely with parents. I currently serve the north Orlando region, including Winter Garden, Ocoee, Apopka, Winter Park, and Maitland.
