We came to Happy Hungry Hippos because we needed help getting our son back to eating. He had stopped eating most of his usual foods, and mealtimes had become a constant struggle. This was affecting his mood, his behavior, and ultimately his health. After meeting with Charlene, she quickly helped us get back on the right track and taught us practical, effective strategies for how to approach food with our son. She is truly gifted at what she does and is such a blessing to the families she works with. Charlene is kind and gent... read more

My son is ten and has been a picky eater all his life. I finally bit the bullet and brought in professional help with Charlene.

Charlene was excellent with our grandson, who did not know how to chew his food when he started therapy. He was swallowing pureed food and drinking plenty of toddler formula. He is now eating nuggets and sandwiches. Thanks Charlene for notable progress at every most of our visits, and for encouraging us. He is still CHEWING! Zion's grandmother.

When we started with Charlene, I dreaded meal times and had a constant anxiety around Grey’s poor eating. We are so grateful for Charlene and the incredible progress Grey has made with eating since starting therapy! From day one, she created such a calm, positive, and encouraging environment. She would always keep sessions fun and engaging, and giving us practical strategies to use at home. The difference we’ve seen in our child’s confidence and willingness to try new foods has been amazing

Review for Happy Hungry Hippos and Mrs. Charlene Mrs. Charlene has been such a blessing in our son Walker's journey with food! When we first started food therapy, Walker wouldn't eat any meats, fruits, or vegetables—not even crackers, chips, or Jell-O. The only texture he would tolerate was bread-type foods. It was such a struggle for a long time, and we felt so stuck. Imagine going on vacation and having to find restaurants we all could eat at with such a limitation on food! Then we found Mrs. Charlene, and everything began... read more
