The Holistic Baby-Led Weaning® Course
Teaching you how to safely start solids & build strong foundations of holistic health for your child.
From cultivating nourishment to preventing chronic illness to raising a thriving eater, this self-paced course brings intention and clarity to feeding your little one.
IF ONLY DOING SO WAS AS SIMPLE AS THAT SENTENCE SOUNDS.
As a parent who takes an intentional approach to their child’s health and well-being, you’re feeling more overwhelmed than excited about introducing solids. Baby-led weaning is a big step. You care deeply about giving your baby nourishing foods, which has you further questioning where to start and how to do it safely.
You could keep reading the popular books, but as a busy parent, it’s a struggle to make time for that. You could search through online articles, but may find yourself clicking from tab to tab filled with even more confusion. You could stick with the mainstream dietary guidelines, but your intuition tells you those aren’t sufficient.
So, you’re thinking about starting solids with your baby…
When it comes to food, you want to give your child the best
& YOU WANT AN ALIGNED EXPERT TO LAY OUT THE FACTS AND BEST PRACTICES IN A CLEAR AND CONCISE MANNER.
You know giving your baby the strongest start to life means nourishing their mind, body, and soul with intention. You’re committed to that — and the good news is, so are we.
The Holistic Baby-Led Weaning® course is the only one of its kind, sharing research-based and trustworthy information about holistic health for littles so you can confidently start solids and raise a thriving eater.
What if you could take the uncertainty & fear out of baby-led weaning?
You want to keep your baby safe and nourished while starting solids, and we certainly help you achieve that. However, this course takes it a step further than most baby-led weaning courses and resources. We share the important information that helps you confidently provide holistic nutrition for your child that will positively impact their long-term health.
Using our holistic approach, you’ll gain:
- knowledge about providing your baby with key nutrients.
- peace of mind about choking while introducing solids.
- a newfound understanding of food as medicine.
- confidence that you’re nourishing in a way that defends against chronic illness.
- comfort knowing that your baby is growing happy, healthy, strong & smart.
“This course aligned with what I wanted and needed to set her gut health up for optimal success.”
My daughter developed dairy, soy, corn, egg, gluten, and bovine allergies at 3 months old. Since then, we have navigated her allergies and she's no longer showing signs of them at all. Her gut is stronger and she can eat real cheese and loves grass-fed meatballs! Luckily, I found this course and it aligned with what I wanted and needed to help set her gut health and immune up for optimal success.

“Save your time, energy, and sanity. This course is all you need.”
This course is absolutely a must-have for all new parents. I began BLW with my first child 2 years ago. I spent a ton of time researching and finding information but still struggled at times to know if I was doing the right thing, especially with allergens! My second child is almost 6 months old now and I feel way more prepared after going through this course. As a pediatric chiropractor, parents are always asking me if I have tips for starting solids. I 100% will be recommending this course. Save your time, energy, and sanity. This course is all you need. Not only will you feel confident feeding your child, but there is really important nutritional information here for everyone!

“This course covers so much from an OT perspective in terms of early oral motor development, being aware of the environment, and reducing the chances of picky eating!”
As an OT, I talk about these things in my practice but it's often not taken seriously regarding how much food impacts coping skills and mental health, as well as physical health. This course covers so much from an OT perspective in terms of early oral motor development, being aware of the environment, and reducing the chances of picky eating! And then helps parents truly build gut integrity. If every family could have this information and start food this way...it's the best gift we could give our child for lifelong health (and generations to come). TRULY FOUNDATIONAL for wellness and for creating lifelong adventurous eaters.

This course focuses on nourishing children up to 2 years of age. However, the concepts will be helpful beyond the introductory phase. We’re confident this will change the way you feed your entire family!
You’ll have unlimited access for the lifetime of the course. This means you can refer to the lessons any time throughout your child’s feeding journey — and for their future sibling’s journey, too!
It is! While some of the information may not align with mainstream advice or recommendations, the studies and articles referenced are linked throughout the course so you can delve into the information and make informed decisions about what is best for your baby!
Guidelines and recommendations are very good reference points, but that does not mean they apply to all babies. We’re strong advocates for parents taking the lead role in their child's health.
Holistic baby-led weaning is more of a philosophy rather than a strict set of rules. You have the freedom to adapt the approach to suit your baby's individual needs and your family's lifestyle. Ultimately, this course is meant to serve as a resource to guide and inspire, and you are encouraged to lean into your intuition to determine what is best for your baby.
We also recognize that every child is different, and some children have specific nutritional needs based on their health history, growth/development, and/or specific medical conditions. For these children, it is important to also consult with a trusted health care professional to ensure the baby's specific nutritional requirements are being met. This course is not intended to serve as medical advice, nor should it replace the advice of your child's pediatrician or primary care provider.
Dr. Alyssa is a pharmacist and is trained to understand different conditions and disease states, how they develop, and how medications can be used to manage and/or treat them. During professional training, she studied the role of food in specific health conditions and its function in health promotion and disease prevention. This paved the way for a deeper understanding and appreciation of how we can use food as medicine.
This course is a compilation of the research and information she’s gathered throughout her education and in independent study in regard to feeding children. It is not intended to serve as medical advice, nor should it replace the advice of your child's pediatrician or primary care provider.
This course was created specifically for health-conscious parents who value the role food plays in their child's health and development. If you love learning about health and nutrition, this is for you. If you consider yourself holistic or crunchy, this was made just for you.
