Meet Nourish
Jenna Westra
FounderJenna is a pediatric occupational therapist born and raised in Chatham-Kent. She completed her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto and has since worked with many incredible children and families across a variety of settings.
Through this work, Jenna has seen how deeply feeding challenges can affect both children and their caregivers. These challenges are often emotional, exhausting, and isolating. Her goal is to provide meaningful support that helps caregivers feel more confident and capable in supporting their child’s feeding journey.
In her sessions, therapy is play-based and child-led, allowing space to explore, learn, and build skills at a pace that feels safe and supportive. She focuses on developing comfort and confidence around food while respecting each child’s unique needs.
This approach is what inspired the creation of Nourish: a space where families feel supported, children feel safe, and progress is celebrated in every small step.
