About Kimberly Edwards


Kimberly Edwards, MS, OTR/L

Kim is a pediatric occupational therapist. She received a bachelor of science degree in exercise physiology in 1995 and a masters of occupational therapy from Arizona School of Health Sciences in 1999. She has worked in pediatrics since graduation and her love of feeding has led her to take multiple postgraduate feeding courses and seminars.


Kim considers herself a semi-native, having lived in Tucson for nearly 30 years. This has been an asset in helping her understand the Tucson community and pediatric therapy services here. Prior to her association with Mealtime Connections, LLC, Kim provided pediatric developmental and feeding services through the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities, school systems and private referrals.


Kim enjoys helping infants and young children with mealtime challenges; including, prematurity, neuromotor, medical and sensory challenges. She approaches mealtime challenges from a holistic perspective. As she partners with families, Kim considers mealtime relationships, food and nutrition, and medical, sensory and experiential influences in determining the best course of action for her clients. Having two young children of her own has provided Kim with valuable experience and empathy for the challenges families face at mealtimes.
