Hello! I help babies overcome feeding challenges (breast, bottle & solids) and master essential developmental milestones such as tummy time, rolling, crawling, and walking—so they can grow, play, and thrive! As the regions' only lactation consultant AND occupational therapist (OT, IBCLC), I provide complete and holistic infant care services starting with prenatal education, getting started with breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, eating solid foods, as well as treating torticollis, tummy time challenges and other developmental delays. All services are provided in the comfort of your home.

Holistic Feeding Support: Feeding is one of the earliest and most critical skills for an infant, and it involves a complex interplay of motor, sensory, and oral skills. As an OT/IBCLC, I will assess and address not just your baby’s oral motor skills and breastfeeding or bottle-feeding mechanics, but also any underlying developmental issues that might affect feeding success, such as low muscle tone, coordination challenges, or sensory sensitivities. Coordinated Developmental Support: Feeding and other early developmental milestones—like head control, postural movements, and grasping—are interconnected. I will simultaneously address feeding and developmental needs, creating a seamless approach to achieving milestones that builds confidence and skills for both you and baby. Customized Family Guidance: I give parents like you the tools and strategies that are tailored to your family’s unique needs. This can include guidance on feeding routines, positioning, pacing, and safe transition to solids, all while supporting the parent-infant bond.
