The Ellyn Satter Institute Inc is a nonprofit organization that offers professional training and coaching to continue Ellyn Satter's work on feeding, eating, and family health. Based in Middleton, Wisconsin, it promotes two core models—the Satter Feeding Dynamics Model and the Satter Eating Competence Model. These models address food, eating, and feeding, as well as emotional health and positive family relationships, and they are described as food-neutral and weight-neutral, focusing on how people relate to food rather than prescribing fixed rules. Research cited by the institute indicates that eating competence, characterized by self-trust and a positive attitude toward food, supports nutritional, medical, and emotional health beyond strict dietary rules. The institute serves professionals and organizations in nutrition, health education, and family well-being, providing training and resources to apply its models in practice. In recent activity, Nutrition Connections partnered with the Ellyn Satter Institute, including a March 2020 workshop to introduce and explore the feeding dynamics and eating competence models.
