What You’ll learn…
In this masterclass, we’ll explore:
- How we redefine ‘success’ in feeding therapy by integrating responsive feeding therapy principles, family-centred practice and trauma-informed care.
- How we facilitate emotionally and physically nourishing mealtime experiences that support a child’s autonomy and development.
- Actionable steps to begin applying the Circles to Feeding™ Approach in your practice using a guided therapeutic pathway designed for therapists.
Why the Circles to Feeding™ Approach?
As a pediatric therapist, you understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment for children and families to thrive. The Circles to Feeding™ Approach prioritizes the child’s comfort and felt-safety, autonomy and individual capabilities – helping you to:
- Apply responsive feeding therapy principles and key priorities – comfort, curiosity, and capability – to create trust-based mealtime experiences that support meaningful progress.
- Empower children and families through a framework grounded in trauma-informed care, attachment theory, and strengths-based practice.

Hey, I’m Carly!
If we haven’t met before, I’m Carly Veness and it’s lovely to see you here! 👋🏻
A few work-related facts about me…
- I’m a Speech Pathologist of 20+ years, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and a deeply passionate feeding therapist.
- I run a private practice, Babble & Munch Feeding Therapy, with a fantastic team supporting babies, children and their families with pediatric feeding disorder.
- I LOVE to teach and mentor other therapists around the world through my Babble & Munch Learning programs (including this Masterclass!).
- I also work as a casual/PRN neonatal therapist in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
- I have a background and qualifications in infant mental health, which strongly influences all my work.
- I used to work in research and I’ve published peer reviewed papers.
Behind-the-scenes, I am…
-
A self-professed lifelong-learning nerd (you should see my book piles!), feeding therapy geek, and secretly messy eater (how did that chocolate get in my hair?).
-
A wife and also a mother to a child who led me on my own intense medical learning journey in childhood gastrointestinal, allergy and oral function difficulties.
-
An Aussie….and yes, I do actually have kangaroos in my backyard! 🦘
I’m the founder of the Circles to Feeding™ Approach. Developing and supporting positive, trust-based relationships around feeding is at the centre of all I do.
I look forward to sharing more with you!
