About
Meghan Neri
Food Allergy Allies Founder, Lead Educator & Consultant
Meghan Neri has lived the ups and downs of daily food allergy management for over 16 years. As a food allergy parent, she faced a variety of challenges and became determined to make the journey easier for those coming behind her.
​
She knows first-hand that food allergies can impact aspects of life from play dates and clubs to family gatherings. She also knows, that through no fault of their own, most people don't understand food allergies. A former school teacher, and educator at heart, Meghan is passionate about education.
​
In 2017, she co-founded a FARE recognized food allergy support group, called SAFE, aimed at connecting caregivers and increasing education & awareness in the community. The group remains active today.
​
In 2019 she first connected with South Shore Safety to discuss adding Babysitter Food Allergy Training to their already robust safety curriculum for local communities.
In 2022 she partnered with Inner Peace Press to publish a book about her family's food allergy journey and much of what she learned along the way. "Just One Bite, A Food Allergy Mom's Search for Answers" was released in 2023.
Also in 2023, Meghan founded Food Allergy Allies to help increase the number of food allergy allies in the world. Using education, consulting, and discussion she helps people better understand food allergies. If someone is willing to learn, they can make a difference.
Meghan has advocated for improved food allergy legislation at both the state (MA) and national levels. She is a member of the Board of Directors for AAFA NE (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, New England Chapter).
Services include interactive classes, dynamic group discussions, book talks, and other speaking engagements, along with unique consulting projects.
