For parents who want to raise their anaphylactic food allergy kids with confidence.
Keep your child safe and worry less while living a normal life.
If you're a food allergy parent, you already know...
how important it is to manage cross-contact, read labels and cook allergen-free to keep your child safe.
But no one taught you how to LIVE with food allergies.
And yet, here you are.
You're stressed about keeping your child safe from small traces of their allergen when food is pivotal to EVERYthing. Nobody understands how serious food allergies are and -in the midst of all this- you just want to allow your child to be free to enjoy their childhood without feeling left out.
So how can you support your child in the best way possible when you often feel worried or overwhelmed?
The solution is practical knowledge from a mentor who's been there.
Researching on your own is causing you to miss so much because you don't know what you don't know. It's time to get the full story from someone with proven experience.
You can worry less & lower your mental weight using practical knowledge that makes life safer, more normal, AND more inclusive. For your child and for you.
"Don't underestimate the value of having a mentor. Before this program, I struggled with educating others, traveling with food allergies, and other things, but now I feel empowered with NEW approaches and new mindset so we're not stuck anymore."
Jessica C. - Food allergy mom
I see you struggling to do this on your own.
And I know how hard it is.
I remember the early allergy years with my daughters. There weren't online mentors or programs to help. None of my family or friends had any experience with allergies, let alone helpful advice. It was a very scary, lonely, and isolating time.
I remember trying to research on my own. Sometimes I would spend hours and hours on the internet, trying to weed out accurate information that would work for our family. Other times, I would feel like we were getting by, but just until another food allergy stressor came along.
Thankfully, things have changed. This is not "just the way it is" anymore.
You don't have to live worried and feel like others think you're being overprotective.
With practical knowledge, from a mentor you trust, you can go from worried to confident.
You can teach your child to stay safe & advocate for themselves while still giving them a normal life. You can feel the weight of the mental load lift and you can feel confident allowing your child to enjoy their childhood without feeling like you're putting them at risk.
You can enjoy every precious moment with your child instead of wasting their childhood worrying and figuring out food allergies.
You don't have to sacrifice safety or worry all the time to let your child feel like any other kid.
Here's why food allergies are causing too much worry and mental weight in your life...
1. You're mind is swirling in all the "what ifs".
It's common to want to control & protect your child from everything because it's easy to imagine the worst-case scenario! When you let your imagination focus on worst-case scenarios and then allow that to play a big role in your decisions, it will stop you and your child from living life.
Instead, it helps to have a mentor who guides you toward proven practical knowledge so you can safely give your child freedom & independence.
2. You're too deep in the trenches of parenting to be able to find ways to make it better.
It's hard to find practical solutions when you're depleted and need a break. As a food allergy parent, you're ON morning, noon, and night. Then add searching for safe foods, cooking, and reading labels, and your workload spirals out of control. You can't be expected to work smarter, not harder when you're overwhelmed with day-to-day parenting.
You need an easy source of practical knowledge that will help you put your effort where it counts so you can keep your child safe without the mental weight.
3. You're learning everything the hard way.
When you navigate food allergies alone, challenges like birthday parties, school, and travel can sneak up on you. If you don’t have a proven strategy, you’ll have to try trial and error which can be really stressful, time-consuming, and unsafe. So even if everything seems controlled right now, and challenges seem like they’re a long way off, now is the time to take action. Being prepared in advance will increase your confidence and help your child feel more like every other kid instead of being worried and stressed about new things.
Having a mentor with practical knowledge from many years of experience is worth GOLD so that you can quickly tackle obstacles and move forward with confidence instead of second-guessing yourself and causing you and your child to worry.
Imagine...
- attending the next birthday party or family event knowing that the host has considered not only the food but the environment too (hello sticky hands filled with allergens touching everything). No more hearing "a little won't hurt", or seeing someone trying to feed your child unsafe food when you're not looking.
- allowing your child to experience friends and make memories at playdates, birthday parties, and school without obsessing over food allergies.
- having a clear plan that saves time and makes food allergies less worrisome and saves your mental health.
- finding positive & supportive food allergy mama besties and having them lend an understanding ear when you need it. Your friends inside the program will become like sisters!
- Leaving your child & trusting babysitters, daycare, or school with full confidence the caretaker/teacher will be just as vigilant about food allergies as you, so your child is safe & included.
You're exactly the right parent for your child. You just need help navigating a life-changing diagnosis.
Save your mental health in 10 minutes/day or less.
Let's do this!

You don't want to miss out on these important years with your child because of food allergies even though you hope that your child will outgrow their allergy, or you're doing OIT. Unfortunately, nothing is certain & it could take years.
You want everyone who interacts with your child to take food allergies seriously, whether or not you have support from those closest to you.

Hey there! I'm Corinna,
A food allergy coach & mentor, coffee lover, and (sometimes) reluctant home allergy chef.
Let's face it - there are not a lot of people who truly get the food allergy life. It would be so much easier if there was more allergy awareness in the world or even just a few more restaurants that really get it! And there's nothing more stressful & time-consuming than doing this on your own - only to feel worried that you might make a mistake.
Since 2017, I've helped hundreds of food allergy parents keep their kids safe without missing out on life using practical knowledge with my business and blog, Friendly Pantry Consulting Inc. I look forward to helping you claim your identity as a confident food allergy mama so you and your child can go from worried to confident.

FAQ's
*What Smart Parents Ask Before Enrolling in The Food Allergy Lifestyle Formula (FALF)*
Q: I don't have the time right now, how can I do it?
A: I get it, you're in the stage of life where it's hard to carve out even just 20 minutes at the end of the night for yourself.
That's why time-saving templates and practical knowledge are so important for you. They are the BEST way to instantly save your precious time because the research is done and you can re-use them over and over.
For example, if daycare, school, or summer camps are in your child's future, the school template will save loads of time.
"The school template is thorough and helpful. I'll use it for years!" Lise V.
It took me 16 years to figure out the practical knowledge you'll get in this program!
Q: My child's anaphylaxis was very traumatic, and it impacted me deeply. Will this program help me?
A: This course gives practical knowledge to help make food allergy life easier and conquer common food allergy lifestyle challenges. This program DOES NOT deal with the very real trauma of anaphylaxis, even though you will find support in the community. However, if you find that your child's reaction is all you can think about and it's holding you back from living, I highly recommend you get help from a Registered Psychologist to deal with the trauma BEFORE taking this program.
Q: Does this work for our allergies & age?
A: This course is for anaphylactic food allergy families. This program is not about recipes or food so it doesn't matter what allergies you're managing.
Parents with kids of all ages will get confidence from this program.
Q: Will this course help if we're in the process of OIT or Desensitization?
A: Short answer, probably. Long answer: OIT and Desensitization can take years (especially for multiple food allergies). During that time you still need to keep your child safe and live as normal as possible while treatment progresses. If your treatment will only take a few months or a year, you may not need this course, but if it's longer than that, then YES, this course is for you.
We have been doing OIT for a while now. After about 5 years of treatment, we’ve been able to tolerate traces of our allergens (but not outright eating them; that will take many more years).
I know that many of your kids are not able to eat traces of allergens. That’s why, for all of my programs, I teach what we’ve learned after 16 years of NOT being able to tolerate traces of allergens.
Q: Can you remind me of what I'm getting when I sign up today?
A: Inside this immersive group program, you'll find yourself FULLY equipped with all the life strategies, high-level support & community you could ever need to make your passion for keeping your child safe & included contagious to everyone you meet.
You will get access to me as I guide you through everything you need to step into your food allergy mama identity with confidence while overcoming the food allergy misconceptions you and your child keep battling.
We will increase your confidence, lighten your mental load, and develop your ability to do unimaginable things like travel (yes, you can travel anywhere and relax with one or even MULITPLE allergies), communicate in a way that will help teachers be vigilant, utilize simple & effective techniques that have been proven to keep your child safe & included and prevent reactions like the confident mama you are.
Q: I can't afford this right now, is it worth squeezing it into the budget?
A: As a parent of young kids there are so many things pulling at your wallet. That's why I've intentionally kept the cost low and provided a payment plan.
Now think about less worry and a normal life without fear for your child. The improvement that this program will make to your family's mindset & quality of life is priceless.
"I'm so glad I didn't let cost stop me from taking this program because it's so worth the money. It's helped me build my confidence about food allergies & it's spilling over to my son!" Lori T.
Q: Can I research this information myself from blogs or Instagram & Facebook?
A: Maybe, but...
Imagine you wanted to bake a delicious batch of allergy-friendly cookies. Would you create a recipe on your own? Probably not, because you'd spend hours and hours trying to get it right. More likely, you would grab a recipe from your favorite allergy-friendly baker and use it as a guide.
With food allergy life, there's so much more at stake than cookies.
With this program, you'll get the recipe for a confident food allergy lifestyle. You'll learn how to work smarter, not harder. You can be confident you're keeping your child as safe as possible without spending hours on research instead of enjoying these important years with your child. It took me 15 years to learn what you'll learn in this program!
Q: Is it actually possible to worry less about food allergies?
A: I know this sounds unrealistic, but I want you to know that it IS possible! There are 3 ways this program helps you worry less about food allergies.
1. You learn from an expert coach and mentor, who has been there, made the mistakes, and turned what she's learned into easy steps you can use to feel confident.
2. The program is based on evidence-based research so you know you can trust it.
3. There is an intimate and positive group of food allergy mamas waiting to support you through the tough times.
"Because of The Food Allergy Lifestyle Formula, I learned that I can keep my child as safe as possible and still live our BEST LIVES!" Callie G.
Q: What if this program doesn't work for me?
A: Don't worry, there's no risk! I want you to feel confident and worry less. If you don't feel like your life is changed after you complete any one module in the first 48 hours, show us your work and you can cancel with no questions asked and a full refund.
It's easy to get a refund! Just send your completed homework for any module by email to corinna@friendlypantry.com.
Q: Can I take this program with my spouse/partner?
A: Yes! In fact, it's a great idea.
If there's still something you're wondering, shoot me an email at corinna@friendlypantry.com and I'll get you an answer!
