Mealtime Remedies was created in response to concerns shared by students and practitioners about the challenges families face around the dinner table—not just around food itself, but the atmosphere in which it is shared. Through both professional insight and lived experience, it became clear that many people grew up with mealtimes that felt controlled, tense, or lacking in genuine connection, and these early patterns often continue into adult life. At its core is the recognition that mealtimes were once a sacred space where families came together in presence and relationship, something that has been lost in many homes. When children act out at the table, it is often an expression of something deeper—a need for guidance, attention, or safety—rather than a simple issue with eating. Mealtime Remedies exists to support families in restoring a more grounded and connected experience of eating together.

Laura has spent forty years in education. In that time, she has taught hundreds of children and partnered with just as many families. As a mother of two and an advocate for community, she has learned as much from parents’ insights as she has from her own experience.

She sees the world shifting. Food choices are changing fast, media influence is growing, and peer pressure often breaks even the best-laid plans. Laura has watched how these shifts transform family mealtimes—and she’s seen how those changes are showing up in our children's grades and their focus.
