Empowering families to nourish their bodies and babies from pregnancy through parenthood.

“I attended Jacqui’s web-based workshop, Introduction to Solid Foods: The Baby-Led Way in September of 2020. This workshop was one of the most informative and helpful experiences I have had around feeding my baby. I took this workshop when my daughter was five months old, before I introduced solid foods. Jacqui helped me feel confident in feeding her real solid food (not just purees!). She helped ease my fears around choking and provided a great information around nutrition, allergies, and baby’s development around food. My daughter is now 15 months old. She has been eating whole foods in solid form since she was 6 months old. I have had the confidence to feed her exactly what our family eats at each meal – no special baby food, no purees, no spoon feeding. This has made my life easier (as a busy mom) and she has become a great eater with the ability to feed herself safely! I recommend this workshop to all moms – even if this is not your first-time introducing food to a baby. Jacqui changed my perspective around solid foods and helped simplify the process of feeding my baby.” -JWK

“After being diagnosed with gestational diabetes in my 3rd trimester, I met with a dietitian through my OB office (not Jacqui) who was not helpful and I was feeling very discouraged. I've known Jacqui for years and reached out to her, knowing she knows her stuff, and she instantly made time for me in her busy schedule and worked with me one-on-one to make sure the plan I was following was specific for my body and my pregnancy. She has checked in with me often to see how I am doing and continues to remind me the GD is not my fault which is the kind of support pregnant women really need! I would highly recommend anyone struggling with GD and can't get a handle on it to contact her! She is absolutely wonderful!” -AC

“Jacqui is amazing! I first met her through a Baby Led Weaning course offered at Maine Mother & Co. which was an invaluable experience to have. Jacqui went over all of the most important aspects of learning to feed your baby solids and really gave me the confidence as a first time parent to introduce all sorts of new foods to my baby without (too much) fear! After my son experienced some minor allergic reactions, Jacqui helped me through an exploration process (alongside my son's ped) offering me advice and even reaching out to some of her own contacts to help me get to the bottom of what turned out to be a skin issue rather than a full-blown food allergy. Jacqui is truly kind and caring, and can speak with the knowledge of being a parent herself which is so helpful!” -JM

“Jacqui, the expert behind Home Grown Nutrition is incredible! I attended her Baby Led Weaning workshop recently and got so much value from it. She covered the basics of BLW and didn't miss a beat when faced with more challenging questions. I feel confident introducing new foods to my baby, and through her workshop I now know how to recognize red flags (allergic reactions, choking, etc). She uses evidence-based research in a down-to-earth way. If you're on the fence about whether you should try the next workshop, go sign up! You won't regret it.” -TM

“Jacqui is smart, kind, non-judgmental, and dedicated to helping you understand how to eat well in a way that works for you and your family. She follows the evidence, staying on-top of new developments, and is passionate about her work.” -KH
