Nutrition & Food Access
"As a Black [people], learning to nourish and respect our bodies means rejecting a system rooted in anti-blackness… Marginalized [and targeted] bodies deserve to be treated with respect and have equal access to culturally relevant and nutritious foods"
- Dr. Kera Nyemb-Diop, @black.nutritionist

Baby-led Feeding
aka Baby-Led Weaning
Baby-Led Feeding aka Baby-Led WeaningJust because a baby is interested in table food, doesn't mean that they're ready to give up human milk. However, I can support that time too. I get numerous questions regarding feeding their little one as they gain interest in table food. It can be a difficult moment to figure out what to feed them and how best to prepare the food as they explore their new options. This support also includes:
-
Culturally-Aligned Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices
-
Baby-led feeding support
-
Baby-led weaning
-
Infant Meal Prep
-
Teething Relief Strategies
Appointments are usually scheduled for up to 4 hours per visit.

Food Access Support
BLKBRY receives food boxes from Plant Based Food Share and Alimentando al Pueblo with culturally aligned ingredients for my clients. This is why I'm able to base nutritional support around a person's budget and increase access to nutritious meals.
