COOKING TO HEAL
Nourishing Hope in the Kitchen
Nutrition and Cooking Class
for Children and families, autism, ADHD, allergies, and the rest
Are you or your child following a special diet?
Do you have food allergies or intolerances?
Concerned that your picky eater is getting adequate nutrition?
Want to try GFCF but afraid your child will have nothing to eat?
Cooking To Heal will help you succeed with special diets
Parents often wonder whether a special diet would help their child—at the same time are worried about their child’s nutrition. For parents (especially those of picky eaters), a gluten-free diet can seem far too daunting.
I want to encourage you and say—you can do a special diet! I created Cooking to Heal to make it easy to follow a healing diet (or two) for children with autism, ADHD, eczema, allergies and more.
In Cooking to Heal, I share many of the ideas and strategies I’ve learned over a decade of working with families.
All ideas and recipes are picky-eater tested – I learned early on that even the BEST/nutritious meal plan wouldn’t help… if your child won’t eat the food!
Cooking To Heal will help you become more effective at making nutritious meals your child will enjoy while on a special diet.

Rave Reviews: Why Parents Love Cooking To Heal
This class is one of a kind not to be missed! It is easily accessible, well-organized with clear written guides and tastes that motivate behavior changes.”
I didn’t know that nutritious cooking could be tasty too. I now have the confidence that my son will eat my nutritious food without any problems.”
“This class has helped me to understand how to make fermented foods as well as yoghurt. I didn’t realize how important and easy to make they are”
“I wish all my families of children with an autism spectrum disorder and food reactions could take Julie’s course.”
“I opened my eyes to how to cook without grains and carbohydrates.”
“My extremely picky daughter is already happier and more satisfied with her food. Your format is easy to understand, easy to implement and your nutritional knowledge and dedication provided me the encouragement I need to stay on course for our family’s health. The explanations have saved me weeks of trial and error and the accompanying frustration. Thank you!”
The Science Behind Cooking to Heal
Every aspect of Cooking to Heal is steeped in solid science and years of practical experience with autism parents and children. As the “how-to” companion of Nourishing Hope for Autism, it provides more than 4-hours of learning and inspiration. How can diet help?
When we aid systemic healing through food and diet choices, we are healthier. Since the health of the body affects the mind (behavior, mood, and learning), as we eat better and feel better, we often reduce the symptoms of autism, ADHD (and other childhood conditions), as well as address multiple food sensitivities and gastrointestinal distress.
Cooking to Heal was created to empower my clients applying food, nutrition, and diet to help their children feel better, and improve behavior and learning.
