Infant Feeding
Feeding shouldn’t be stressful — we’re here to help you and your baby find ease and confidence at every stage. Our infant feeding services are designed to support families through common (and not-so-common) challenges from birth through the transition to solids.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or doing a combination of both, we offer guidance with:
Feeding & Swallowing Therapy
Feeding and swallowing therapy supports children who experience challenges with “picky eating”, drinking, or swallowing. These difficulties may stem from oral motor delays, sensory sensitivities, medical conditions, or a combination of factors. Therapy is personalized to each child’s unique needs and is grounded in a compassionate, child-led approach that encourages progress through connection and trust.
Feeding therapy is appropriate for infants, toddlers, and children of all ages—with a focus on building safe, functional, and enjoyable mealtime experiences.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or doing a combination of both, we offer guidance with:
Oral Motor and Sensory-Based Feeding Challenges
Oral Motor Delays
Through play-based, purposeful activities, we help children develop stronger and more coordinated oral movements needed for safe feeding and clear speech development down the road.
Sensory Processing Difficulties
Some children have heightened (or lowered) sensitivity to the taste, smell, texture, or temperature of food. This can lead to:
We gently support desensitization through positive exposure, sensory play, and parent coaching—always following the child’s lead.
Myo-Informed Therapy for Children Under Age 4
While traditional orofacial myofunctional therapy typically starts around age 5, younger children can still benefit from a myo-informed approach when early signs of an orofacial myofunctional disorder (OMD) which can only be treated by a feeding therapist (SLP or OT).
OMDs in toddlers may look like:
This proactive support can help lay the foundation for healthy oral development, feeding, sleep, and speech patterns later in life.
Tongue and Lip Ties: Pre/Post Support
A tongue tie, or ankyloglossia, occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue to the floor of the mouth (the lingual frenulum) is too tight, thick, or short. This can restrict tongue movement and lead to a variety of challenges at different stages of life.
As a feeding therapist, I provide specialized support to help infants, children, and even adults overcome the functional difficulties associated with tongue ties. My role is to assess oral motor skills, optimize feeding patterns, and support recovery both before and after a tongue tie release (frenectomy or frenotomy).

Therapeutic Support Before & After a Tongue Tie Release
Every tongue and every body is unique. Through personalized care, I support families in making informed decisions and empowering healthy feeding, speech, and oral development.
Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a personalized, exercise-based program that helps improve the strength, coordination, and function of the muscles of the face, tongue, mouth, and throat. It focuses on promoting proper oral rest posture, nasal breathing, correct swallowing patterns, and healthy oral habits.
This therapy is appropriate for children ages 5 and older—and in some cases, mature 4-year-olds may also be good candidates. By gently retraining these muscles, myofunctional therapy can support long-term improvements in breathing, eating, speaking, sleep, and overall wellness.
Now offering fully virtual evaluation and therapy services, making it easier than ever to access support from the comfort of your own home— our therapists are licensed in Virginia, D.C., North Carolina, Texas, and Colorado.
