Infants & Toddlers
Support for feeding, regulation, development, and early connection.
The first years of life lay the foundation for communication, movement, feeding, regulation, and learning. When challenges arise early, they often affect more than one area of development.
I work with infants, toddlers, and their families to better understand the patterns influencing feeding, regulation, comfort, and developmental progress.
Common Reasons Families Reach Out
-
Feeding difficulties
-
Tongue, lip, or cheek ties
-
Pre- and post-frenectomy support
-
Difficulty latching, nursing, or bottle feeding
-
Reflux, tension, or persistent discomfort

Sleep challenges
-
Excessive fussiness or difficulty settling
-
Sensory sensitivities or overwhelm
-
Developmental concerns
-
Delays in communication, movement, or play
-
Parents who feel that something isn't quite right, even when they've been told everything is "fine"
My Approach
My work integrates speech-language pathology, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, developmental support, reflex integration, and nervous system-informed care.
Rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation, I look at how feeding, movement, regulation, posture, communication, and development influence one another.
Sessions are individualized and may include parent education, observation of feeding and interaction patterns, hands-on support, developmental guidance, and collaborative planning.
When Feeding Isn't the Whole Story
Many families arrive after working with lactation consultants, bodyworkers, therapists, or medical providers. Sometimes a release has already been completed. Sometimes multiple interventions have been tried.
When challenges persist, it may be helpful to look beyond the immediate symptom and consider how the nervous system, body organization, and developmental foundations are contributing to the bigger picture.
Getting Started
The first step is an initial consultation. Together we'll discuss your concerns, answer questions, and determine whether this approach is a good fit for your family.
