Services

Let’s work together!

Feeding observation (breast/chest, bottle, solids)
Oral motor assessment
Screening for signs of pharyngeal dysfunction (i.e. food or liquid entering the airway instead of going to towards the stomach)
Whole body assessment (motor development, postural alignment, sensory processing)

Implementing treatment strategies and home programming to address challenges with breast or bottle-feeding.
Addressing the underlying skills for transitioning to solid foods and/or drinking from a cup/straw. Helping families to navigate other common concerns, including: picky eating, bottle refusal or new breastfeeding concerns.
Implementing strategies to facilitate postural alignment and symmetry, movement patterns, gross motor skills, sensory processing, and fine motor development. Feeding does not only happen in the mouth. It is a whole body experience.
Private breastfeeding consultations. Areas addressed may include: latch/positioning, sore/damaged nipples, low milk supply, milk over-supply, mastitis, ductal inflammation, engorgement, pumping, ensuring baby is getting “enough,” tethered oral tissues (TOTS), weaning and MORE!

I will collaborate with your dentist and/or ENT to determine whether a frenectomy is necessary based on a functional feeding evaluation. If warranted, we will develop a treatment plan pre and post procedure based on your baby’s individual needs.
When babies are discharged from the NICU, there is often a waiting period before longer term therapy services begin through the hospital or Regional Center. I am here to bridge that gap by supporting your baby and family during the “waitlist” period. Let’s make sure you have the strategies/tools to ensure both feeding and development are off a great start!
