We offer help with feeding and eating. The Ellyn Satter Institute helps both the public and professionals discover the joy and practicality of eating and feeding based on the Satter eating competence and feeding dynamics models. This website is bursting with resources that help with your own eating and feeding issues as well as demonstrate how to address those issues in a professional setting.

Feed yourself with love and good sense
Raise a healthy child who is a joy to feed
Coach and mentor
ESI faculty members work with individuals. The coaching program works with you relative to feeding yourself and/or feeding your child. If you are a professional, the mentoring and Affiliate programs work you to deepen your understanding of the Satter models and address issues that arise in their own work setting. Consulting helps you with your materials and projects to ensure that your teaching programs and materials are consistent with ecSatter and fdSatter.
