I had no mental space, no time, no inspiration, and certainly no energy to plan and cook meals. Yet, I felt a strong need to excel in the kitchen department. My son had to embody the healthiest version of myself, and only the most nourishing nutrition was good enough. After all, I loved my son so much and made it my mission to keep him away from processed foods. I was very aware that I shaped his future eating habits through the foods I offered and my own behavior at the table.That’s why I secretly ate chocolate, and I felt guilty about my food choices during pregnancy.

Then my healthy parenting project hit me in the face. My 2-year-old became incredibly picky. Bye bye serving broccoli and bananas without protest. Pasta was now his preferred food, while vegetables became his enemy. To top it off, the world around us seemed to be constantly offering sweets and treats. I felt frustrated, angry, tired and scared. How could I ensure that my son was eating balanced meals and getting everything he needed from his food? It felt like food had turned into a fight, and everything and everyone was working against me.

Today, I feel peaceful around food. I have unlearned many habits and ideas that were not serving me or my son. I worked on my relationship with processed foods, finding out why they triggered me so much. I unlearned to see food only as fuel for our bodies, allowing me to have more connection, adventure, and fun. I learned to talk less and show more. I learned how to cook for my son without depriving myself of flavor or me-time. I started to feed my child from a place of love, not fear. I learned to get my priorities straight, knowing exactly which seeds to plant for a fulfilling life.

My matrescence – a difficult word that captures the birth of a mother – has shaped me into a dietitian with an intergenerational vision. During my pregnancy and lactation period, when I became the main nutrition source for my baby, I felt that we pass on so much of our own eating patterns to our children.

Until I understood that not only what we eat, but also how we talk about food, what we say about our new body and how we react to some products (hello, chips, and co!) has an impact on our children’s eating patterns and body confidence.

Now I know how to truly raise healthy eaters. I can feed my family (and myself) with less effort, less stress, less confusion and less discussions. I know what to say when my 4-years-old asks for processed foods, I can prepare fast, nutritious meals and eating is easier, fun even, plus adapt this to the needs of my baby (who is just getting starting eating solids).

On top of this, I also live in a multicultural family, just like my patients. I know what you are going through – whether it’s not finding your usual food or needing to mix completely different eating habits (and approaches!). But there’s good news! Just like in every good partnership, there’s always a way to make things work, also in the food departement.

“Meeting Sofie has changed my life. Her advice has made my life so much easier and uncomplicated. She has helped me and my family find the perfect balance and relationship with food. I have been lucky to have access to several professionals who have helped me understand my family’s nutritional needs, but Sofie has been the best so far. If you have the chance to meet with her, do it! You will not regret it.”

How do I know Family Food Flow is what I and my family need?

Family Food Flow is designed for anyone who faces challenges with family nutrition. If you recognize the struggles mentioned in the sales page, my new membership is tailored to help you and your family overcome them. To avoid any surprises, I recommend booking a free digital introductory session of 30 minutes with me so that we can explore if Family Food Flow is a good solution for you and your family.

When is Family Food Flow NOT for me?

My membership may not be suitable for you if:

• • You never reflect on your relationship with food and don’t question your eating habits.
  • You’re seeking new recipes, like to weigh quantities or like to follow strict instructions.
  • You or a family member has a medical problem that needs to be solved first (please check this with me during a free digital introductory session of 30 minutes).
  • You have little interest in long-term health effects or in adopting an open-minded, non-restrictive approach to health
  • You don’t believe I can help your child(ren) only if you also embody your family’s nutrition goals.
  • You don’t speak English (as all the information of the membership is given in English).

My youngest child is younger than 6 months or older than 6 years old. Can I still join?

Yes, you can still join, but I recommend checking with me through a free digital introductory session of 30 minutes to ensure my membership aligns with your expectations.

Will I receive personalized recipes?

No, you won’t receive personalized recipes, but you will receive inspiration and guidance for cooking balanced family meals.

Sofie, this is a group membership, will I get personalized advice?

You can ask me all your questions about the given information and I get back to you (in a group Q&A or podcast). I will give answers to your practical, non-medical questions, but this membership does NOT include personalized advice. If you need this, you can always book consultations with me – also as a Family Food Flow member – allowing us to really apply everything learned in the membership together on a personal level.

Can you guarantee results?

I can guarantee that you will gain valuable insights on how to feed yourself and your family. Yet, Family Food Flow is a membership with a focus on knowledge and practical tools. I engage to you in terms of efforts, but not in terms results. Learning how to eat is a very gradual process and a lot is happening under the iceberg. You might need to unlearn more than you learn from me. Giving me your feedback during our time together and staying open-minded for any of the theoretical models given is crucial. The testimonials on this page come from patients who did four personal sessions with me.

How can I cancel the membership?

If you want to cancel your membership, you send me an email and you won’t have to pay anymore starting next month. Please note that you’re currently paying the seeding member rate, which will never return.

Is your membership compatible with private consultations?

Definitely! You’ll already have a lot of useful information and exercises done in preparation for our 1-on-1 consultations. This will make our time together even more valuable and efficient. Schedule a free digital introductory session if you would like to know more about my options for consultations (home consultations, online, …).

I don’t live in the Brussels Capital Region. Can I join?

Sure, real live events might be included in the membership, but it is still very valuable to join from distance/abroad.

Why should I work with you and not another dietitian?

If you value honesty, helpful feedback, insightful guidance, and authenticity, I’m the right choice for you. Being a mother myself and having let go of diet culture through my son’s eating adventure, I offer a non-diet, nourishing and non-restrictive perspective on food. I’m to the point and no-nonsense while maintaining a gentle approach. I also put you – and your partner – first so that you can truly embody your family’s nutrition goals.

Do you have general conditions?

Sure, you can check these here!
