If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Argie is incredible - knowledgeable, compassionate, encouraging, and responsive. We've been working with her for about a month and I've never felt like an annoyance whenever I've spoken with her via email or during our virtual appointments, and we've seen some real progress with our 3 month old. We are so grateful for KFW!

I cannot recommend Argie enough! When my baby developed bottle aversion and I was struggling with introducing solids, I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure of how to help. But from the very first session, she made me feel at ease, addressing all my concerns with empathy and expertise.
She provided practical, easy-to-follow strategies that made feeding time less stressful for both me and my baby. Her step-by-step guidance on overcoming bottle aversion was a game-changer. Not only did she offer tailored techniques for getting my baby to accept the bottle again, but she also gave me helpful tips for introducing solids at a pace that was comfortable for us.
What truly stood out was how she eased my anxiety throughout the process. She took the time to listen to my worries, answered all my questions thoroughly, and reassured me every step of the way. Her calm, patient approach made me feel supported and confident, knowing I had the right tools to help my baby succeed.
Thanks to her, feeding times have become much more manageable, and my baby is thriving. I'm so grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our feeding journey and would recommend her to any parent struggling with similar challenges.- S.N.

Working with Argie has been a game changer for us. She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate.
I started working with Argie in March at a time when we had almost lost all hope. Our premature baby was fully dependent on an NG feeding tube and had developed a bottle aversion.
When we met with Argie for a consultation, she heard all of our concerns and was very comforting. We began working with her and it has changed our lives around. Our stress levels were at an all time high due to my baby’s feeding difficulties. Argie quickly, helped ease us and guided us step by step through 2-3 weeks of intense therapy. By the end of the month, my baby was off the tube and had begun to develop a positive relationship with her bottle.
2 months later, my baby is thriving, growing and hitting all her milestones!!! Argie continues to check in with us and I am able to seek guidance when needed. She is amazing
I cannot recommend her enough. I am truly so grateful for having her guide us with her knowledge and insight.
Again, she is amazing and truly the best decision we made when it came to feeding therapy.-B.T.

Argie was a pleasure to work with. As a nervous, first time mom who was dealing with our daughter's feeding difficulty for a few weeks before working with Argie, I was beyond stressed, anxious, nervous and scared. Argie took the time to set up a consultation call with me, listened to my concerns and unique situation and immediately came up with a game plan to help us. Although the program was difficult, and we faced some challenges along the way, Argie remained attentive, available and always patient. She is beyond knowledgable in her field, and provides ample advice throughout your time working with her. She made herself fully available to us, 24/7. Even at my lowest, when I was losing hope, Argie continued to reassure me and hold my hand throughout the process.
We were amazed at the success we saw, and came out of this learning so much from Argie. Not only did we learn about nutrition, digestion, formula brands, feeding, etc, but most importantly, we learned how to better communicate, understand and most importantly, TRUST our daughter. My husband and I are grateful to Argie for everything she did for us as a family, and can't recommend her enough to families in a similar boat as us.-A.C.

Our 5 month old daughter was having feeding issues and after seeing several specialists, nothing was physically wrong. We started working with Argie and our suspicion the issue was feeding aversion was confirmed. She helped us understand what was causing the aversion and came up with a plan for us to follow. Over the past 4 months working with her, Argie was incredibly kind, informative, and diligent. Through her guidance, support (virtual and in person), and feeding plan, we were able to get our daughter (now 9 months old) back to eating regularly without any feeding aversion. Argie is a wonderful therapist who genuinely cares and takes the time and effort to work with you and baby.

“We reached out to Kids Feeding Wellness when it seemed that my then 12 month old was regressing with solid foods. He just would cry hysterically anytime he was offered anything more textured than purees.
With Argie’s guidance, we came to understand that he needed to develop the skills to move food around his mouth and once he got that down, he’d have the confidence to explore different foods.
It took about 3 weeks but with her recommended exercises, he did get comfortable exploring new foods and he never looked back. He now feeds himself with ease and even prefers solids over milk and many purees. What a difference!
We can’t thank Argie enough for her patience, regular check-ins, and honestly, hand holding, as we went through what felt like an impossible feat. She is lovely to work with and we recommend her to anyone who needs support with getting their little ones to eat.”-J.G.

We are so grateful for finding Argie and her amazing support and expertise! She worked with our family through many challenges, from when our baby had just started solids (and had a history of tongue/lip tie + body tension) until he started not wanting to eat anything after he turned 1. Mealtimes were so stressful and frustrating. We felt that we were failing our baby all the time, but with Argie’s guidance and compassionate approach, we’ve experienced such a positive transformation. She took the time to understand our baby’s unique needs and provided practical, easy-to-follow strategies that made a huge difference. Now, meal times are much better and calmer. We feel much more confident in supporting our baby boy. We couldn’t recommend Argie enough for any family looking for help with feeding challenges! She’s the kindest. You won’t regret. :)

We met Argie for the first time today and if I could give her 10 stars instead of 5, I would. She is incredible! She is very knowledgeable and attentive. She came prepared and reviewed all the videos and notes we have sent her during the onboarding process. My son loved her from the moment he met her and was comfortable to eat in front of her. In this session alone, we saw the improvement at how he was handling food in his mouth. Argie gave us a ton of suggestions and left supplies for us to use to practice chewing. I am so happy I was able to find her.

I had the pleasure of working with Argie Pitsakis to help my daughter transition to solids. Argie's expertise and guidance were invaluable during this crucial phase of my daughter's development. Argie provided me with pointers and strategies that not only eased the transition but also fostered a love for a variety of foods in my daughter. Thanks to her support, my daughter has become an adventurous eater, and mealtime has become a delightful experience for our family. I can't thank Argie enough for her dedication and skill in helping my daughter establish healthy eating habits. Her compassionate approach and wealth of knowledge truly made a difference in our lives. I highly recommend Argie to any parent seeking assistance with their child's feeding journey. She is a true professional and a blessing to our family.

Argie was amazing!!! I highly recommend her for your child’s feeding therapy needs. She listened to all of my concerns for my son and made a game plan for him. We had multiple calls and also multiple zoom calls, where she went over power point slides based on my sons needs. Not only did she give technical advise on her expertise but she pointed me in directions of others who can help. She made me feel very comfortable with our conversations and helped me to understand the logistics of feeding a baby/child. After a few weeks, she saw progress in my son and had no concerns that he wasn’t on the right track. She really was the best!

“I had the pleasure of working with Argie on an at-home basis for her food therapy practice, and I can't say enough positive things about my experience. From the pre-consult communication to the moment she walked in, I felt her calmness, kindness, and ease.
Argie is not just a food therapist; she's a compassionate guide on a journey to healthier eating habits and a better relationship with food for my son. Her approach is both professional and empathetic, and she took the time to listen to my concerns without judgment.
What truly sets Argie apart is her kindness and patience. She didn't rush our sessions; instead, she provided a supportive environment where I felt comfortable sharing our struggles and victories alike.
Working with Argie has been an absolute pleasure. She consistently demonstrated a genuine commitment to my son's well-being, providing unwavering support and encouragement every step of the way.
I wholeheartedly recommend Argie to anyone seeking a dedicated and compassionate food therapist. Thank you for everything you do, Argie!”-G.C.

I was going through a hard time feeding my daughter who is now 2 years old. Since the time she started solids at around 6 months she was reluctant in trying new foods. She only would drink her milk and would go on to not eating anything if it wasn’t her milk. It was heart breaking as a parent to have their child go on to starve so I would feel defeated often and just give her the milk that she wanted. I would do research and tried my best to teach my child to eat. Not knowing where the difficulties were. I met Argie and she changed my viewpoint and really impacted my experience. She was a breath of fresh air that none of my previous research had provided. I explained to her how picky my daughter was and how reluctant she was to eat any food. She explained to me that the entire process is a combination of your surroundings and the experience which is a result of making it easier and more enjoyable for the child to eat. She illustrated to me in lament terms that a child is at first reluctant because every new food is foreign. It’s as if we as an adult were given an eyeball and told to eat it. Then forced. We will obviously be repulsed and will not want to eat it because it is foreign and not something we would want to try. I have carried this small conversation that have changed my way in my feeding journey with my daughter. We have created a systematic schedule where we always eat dinner at the table every night together as a family. She is in the phase of copying everything we do. So everyday we set up the table and she knows it’s dinner time. She initially would sit in her high chair and participate in eating, which prevented her to not get out right away because she was uncomfortable . Now as she has outgrown the high chair she sits at the table with us and is well-positioned. We let her play with her food and explore then as she watches us eat she eventually starts feeding herself. This journey has been a learning curve but I am so great full for the advice I’ve received from Argie. She listened and really understood the difficulties we faced. She has forever changed my outlook and I will always be grateful for her knowledge and support.

Argie has been our son’s feeding therapist for several months. His 4th therapist and undoubtedly the best. From the onset she had a different approach aiming at getting him interested in food. She provided lots of tips and resources both at home and to his school speech therapist which have proven to be fruitful. He gained more weight in the past couple months than in the past year. She is reliable, punctual and responsive. We feel genuinely fortunate that our paths crossed. I highly recommend her services.

Argie is the most compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable woman our family has ever met. She has gotten us on track in so many ways. Argie truly took the time to understand our family's needs and address each and every concern. Argie did not rest until every question was answered and many solutions were offered. We have witnessed life-changing results after Argie's detailed and comprehensive recommendations. Our investment with Argie was an investment in the health and happiness of our family. Argie is such a warm and giving person and so easy to entrust her expertise in helping our son's feeding issues. Through her program, she organized our everyday life to promote speech development, setup for feeding success and helping our kids with mealtime. In the short amount of time we worked with Argie, she became a member of our family and continues her support and expertise. Argie has improved our family's life in so many ways, we cannot thank her enough.

Super helpful, gave us structure and confidence to work with our 4 year old and make meal time more enjoyable (and they are eating way more types of food now). Highly recommend!

Argie did an amazing job helping our toddler improve her eating habits. She explains everything very clearly and offers advice that is practical and easy to follow. We quickly went from struggling to get our daughter to sit at the dining table to her trying broccoli and other new foods.
