Meet the Founders
Janice Cho
Janice is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with with a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutritional Science from California Polytechnic State University, and a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science from California State University in Long Beach. She is certified through the Commission on Dietetics Registration (USA), and an approved CPE Accredited Provider.
Her career began in her home state of California, working with high risk premature babies, kids and adults. After nearly 10 years of working in the hospital, Janice and Daniel, along with their newly adopted toddler, moved to New York City to work among immigrant families and communities. While in NYC, she started a new branch of The MomCo (MOPS), an international community of support, for mothers in the Bronx.
It was during these early years of motherhood that Janice realized the need for different ways to empower children with neurodivergence and those who have experienced trauma. Her personal challenges as a parent lead her to pursue further training in responsive and trauma informed feeding practices and trust based parenting strategies. Janice is trained in Responsive Feeding Therapy, Division of Responsibility, Attachment and Trauma Focused Therapy, and as a parent facilitator of Empowered to Connect’s Cultivate Connection Parent Course which was developed based on the work of Dr. Karyn Purvis and her
colleagues.
After adding two more boys to the family, she and her family of 5 moved to Malaysia. Janice and Daniel founded Fed to Flourish to serve families who struggle to find support, free them from the shame of being different, and empower them to Flourish.
Daniel Cho
Daniel received a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering from California Polytechnic University, and a Master of Science in Systems Engineering from Loyola Marymount University in California. After working for 10 years in aerospace engineering, he had the opportunity to merge his leadership skills with his passion for meeting the needs of the community as the director of a non profit in NYC.
After years of trying to push through marriage and parenting struggles, Daniel realized that a new approach was needed to build connection within the family. Through counseling, training courses, learning about neurodivergence and the effects of trauma, he was convinced that traditional parenting strategies don’t work for everyone. Building trust and connection within the family is a journey, and Daniel is passionate about helping other parents along that path.
Daniel is certified as a coach with CernySmith Assessment, trained in The Coach Model, and as a facilitator of Empowered to Connect’s Cultivate Connection Parenting Course which was developed based on the work of Dr. Karyn Purvis and her colleagues. His experience in a variety of disciplines has equipped him to play an essential role as co-founder of Fed to Flourish.
