Holistic Baby-Led Weaning
The step-by-step guide to nourishing your little one in a way the protects and defends their health
Let me guess...
You're tired of the popular baby-led weaning mantra - "feed your baby what you eat"
You understand that babies are not simply "mini adults". There are certain foods that are more nourishing than others and provide critical nutrients your baby needs, but you're not sure what those are...or WHEN they should be introduced.
You want to feel confident you are nourishing your little one in a protective way to help them grow into their happiest, healthiest, strongest, and smartest self.
You know that the first 2 years of life are the most CRITICAL in terms of nourishing your child because these early years influence their LIFELONG risk for certain health conditions.
You’ve joined multiple Facebook groups and have spent hours reading through posts and blogs, and although you have 777 recipes saved on Pinterest...you're still not sure where to start.
All of the conflicting advice has just left you overwhelmed. You want to research baby-led weaning, and more importantly, learn all about infant nutrition but there's one problem...you can't seem the find the time or energy. Before you know it, it's almost time to start transitioning baby to solids, and what should be an exciting time now feels overwhelming.
This is your window of opportunity.
While the transition to solid foods is an exciting time, it is also one of the most critical times for nourishing your child, and establishing healthy taste preferences and eating habits.Â
Nutrient deficiencies during the first two years of your child's life can hinder brain development and overall health. Even if those nutrients become plentiful later in life, the effects on development may be irreversible.
Your little one depends on you to defend their health and to build thriving foundations.
Without protective nourishment your little one may be at greater risk for developing:
- Chronic health issues such as eczema, allergies, or diabetes.-Frequent acute ailments such as ear infections, sickness, or viral infections- Mood, behavioral, emotional, and other mental health issues
"I wish I had something that guided me through the process of baby-led weaning and told me WHAT foods were best to introduce (and WHEN) based on his development and nutrient needs"
I can't tell you the number of times I said that when I was in your position. I wanted ONE resource I could refer to so I didn't feel so overwhelmed. Imagine if baby-led weaning and infant nutrition had a holistic baby...I wanted that! Well mama, turns out that didn't exist, so I created it! I can't wait to show you how it will change your life and transform your baby's health, but first, let me share my story...
Hi there!
I'm Dr. Alyssa - I'm a pharmacist by training and a mother by God's grace. And that's my sweet boy Finn. Working almost a decade in pharmacy has left me appreciating modern medicine...but it also left me hungry to understand how we can improve health to PREVENT disease.
That passion for holistic health was taken to a whole new level once becoming a mother. What started as a desire to help him grow into his happiest, healthiest, strongest, and smartest self, led to an passion...okay, obsession..with protective nourishment.
In other words, how we can use food as medicine to protect and defend our child's health to ultimately reduce their risk for or prevent disease.
As moms (and dads!), we have the power (and duty) to help our little ones grow into their happiest, healthiest, strongest, and smartest selves!
As a mom and doctor, I found that many of the common baby or "kid" foods did not provide protective nourishment during the most critical time in their development. That set me on the mission to help other parents build thriving foundations for their littles.

"Holistic Baby-Led Weaning is the course that you need if you are interested in BLW and are wanting to nourish your little. I began this course when my babe was 8 months old and I sure wish I had it prior to 6 months before beginning BLW. I started diving into BLW without really knowing what foods you should start with and why. I really only focused on the shape of the foods and texture. This led my baby to experience less bowel movements than previously as only breastfed. Through this course, Alyssa helped me understand the importance of gut health and how to ensure my little was being nourished through the food I was providing her. I love that this course is broken down into different modules which allow you to jump around and re-listen/watch previous lessons easily. In openness, I am hesitant on spending money on courses for my little because you never know if it truly is going to be valuable, but this one is!! I would purchase it over and over!" -Raena C.
"WOW is all I have to say about this course. It gives you all of the information you could possibly need to make healthy and holistic choices when it comes to your babes first foods. The whole idea of defending and protecting our little ones immune system when it comes to what we are feeding them is so valuable. Alyssa does such a great job giving you all of the research and explaining it in a way that is easy to comprehend while being incredibly informative. You will definitely walk away with so much confidence in not just what you should be feeding your little one, but also WHY you should be choosing these foods. She does a great job at covering all of your basic baby led weaning questions like allergens, pros and cons, and food preparation but also dove so much deeper into the importance of food and nutrients. If you’re thinking about starting your little one on solids I cannot recommend this course enough!!" -Cali M.
