Meet Cierra! 

Hi, I'm Cierra Crowley — Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, mom of three, and founder of Bite Sized Wellness.

I've spent 12+ years in pediatrics, from the PICU to obesity medicine, and I've seen how much of what kids struggle with could be prevented with earlier support. I've also been the mom panicking over choking and using my ICU training at home when the "what ifs" became reality.

I started Bite Sized Wellness to be your trusted hub for early childhood wellness — bridging the gap between what parents are told in quick clinic visits and what they actually need at home: clear guidance, safe skills, and confidence to navigate your child's health during the most critical developmental window.

Raising healthy kids shouldn’t feel overwehelming

You don't need more information — you need practical support to confidently:

  • Start solids safely and know exactly what to do if your baby chokes

  • Handle everyday sickness with clear plans for what's normal and when to call the doctor

  • Navigate feeding challenges, picky eating, and gut health concerns

  • Respond to emergencies with first aid skills you can trust

  • Support your child's development milestones and address concerns early

  • Build daily habits that support your child's long-term health and development

  • Trust yourself as the expert in your own home

    This is what Bite Sized Wellness was created to help you do.

Your Complete Early Childhood Wellness hub

  • Starting Solids & Feeding Foundations — Baby-led weaning, allergen introduction, choking prevention, and building healthy eating habits from day one

  • Safety Skills & First Aid — CPR, choking response, allergic reactions, and emergency skills every caregiver should know

  • Common Childhood Illnesses — Practical tools to confidently navigate fevers, colds, stomach bugs, and know when to seek care

  • Development & Milestones — Supporting your child's growth, addressing concerns, and understanding what's normal at each stage

  • Foundational Wellness Habits — Sleep, movement, stress support, gut health, and building strong immune systems

    Because strong foundations in the first 1,000 days shape lifelong health — and you deserve support through every step.

Community Education + Speaking Events

From school events, to parenting workshops and pediatric panels, to community wellness talks, I’m passionate about shifting the conversation around what true health looks like for kids—and giving families the tools to make it possible.

As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I offer engaging, evidence-based talks that bridge clinical insight from feeding and safety to development and everyday health.—so parents, educators, and providers walk away feeling informed, empowered, and inspired.

What parents are saying

  • "I was drowning in conflicting advice about starting solids and felt like I was failing before I even began. Cierra helped me create a clear plan that worked for our family and gave me the confidence to trust my instincts. Six months later, my baby eats everything and I actually enjoy mealtimes instead of dreading them." — Sarah, mom of 8-month-old

  • "Feeling much more confident in [my son's] solid food journey. Letting him try more whole foods and exploring new textures and taste profiles.

    -Carin Z., mom of 10 month old

  • "My daughter was 7 months and I hadn't started solids because I was so scared. Everyone kept saying different things and I was paralyzed. After working with Cierra, I realized I was overthinking everything. She helped me see what was actually risky vs. what just felt scary. Now my toddler eats literally anything ." — Jen L., mom of 18-month-old


  • "I was literally Googling 'signs of baby choking' during every meal. Cierra helped me understand that most of what I was freaking out about was totally normal. Now I actually enjoy watching my son eat instead of hovering with my phone ready to call 911." — Sadie, mom of 9-month-old


  • "My toddler is a very picky eater. Won’t even eat most standard 'kids foods' like hot dogs and mac and cheese. But over the past year he’s now eating raw broccoli, lots of fruits, cottage cheese, hummus, high protein, Greek yogurt, and chicken! His weight percentile went up 6% points and his BMI percentile went up 3% points. He still has low muscle tone, but it’s improving! His pediatrician was really pleased at his last visit and I in turn am a very happy mama!"

    -AL, mom of 3

  • “Before working with Cierra, I felt like I was doing everything ‘right’ but still constantly questioning myself. Every meal felt like a battle, and I just wanted to feel more connected to my daughter and confident in what I was doing. After our sessions, everything clicked. We found our flow, I stopped overthinking, and she is eating so many more foods willingly.”
    — Tanya M., mom of two

  • "By the way I am excited to say we are doing our best week yet! Baby and I are eating at breakfast and dinner and it makes me so happy that I am feeding her so healthy and so much nutrients the right way. It's starting to become routine."

    -Katherine F., mom of 15 month old

  • "Best money I've spent since becoming a mom, and that includes the fancy baby carrier ." — Carrie
