Dear Fantastic Folks,

Today is the day. The turkey-filled extravaganza that is Thanksgiving is here, and we wanted to drop you a note filled with understanding, support, and a sprinkle of humor for those with pint-sized (or quart-sized) picky eaters.

Firstly, let’s all take a collective deep breath. Thanksgiving can be a whirlwind of sights, sounds, and smells that would make even the bravest food adventurer a little hesitant. But fear not, you’re not alone in this culinary adventure!

Now, here’s the scoop: it’s totally okay if your kiddo decides that Thanksgiving is a “just eat bread” kind of day (or crackers or Mac and Cheese or Veggie straws– you get the drift). Thanksgiving should be about joy, family, and giving thanks, not a battleground for broccoli.

So, if dear Aunt Carol becomes the green bean ambassador, gently let her know that today is officially declared a day of culinary chill, as per your feeding therapist’s expert advice. Feel free to playfully tell her you have a “permission slip” to keep things stress-free and tasty.

Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with laughter, love, and, of course, your child’s favorite comfort food!

Gratefully,

Megan, Kirsten, & Clare

🎉 Happy Birthday to our Speech Therapist, Kirsten! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating someone who is truly essential to our team. Kirsten brings steadiness, kindness, and a level of clinical expertise that spans every stage of development from infant feeding and early language to speech sound disorders and orofacial myofunctional disorders. She is consistently thorough and thoughtful.

Kirsten is always on the move (we’re still not convinced she stops long enough to eat lunch), usually with a coffee in hand, and she keeps us up to date on all the latest Taylor Swift news. Taylor Fridays on Alexa wouldn’t be the same without her! She is reliable, skilled, and someone families and coworkers instantly trust.

We’re grateful for the way she shows up every single day and for the impact she makes on her patients and our team.

Happy Birthday, Kirsten — we’re lucky to have you.

🎉💗 Happy Birthday to our favorite IBCLC, Heather! 💗🎉

🎃 No tricks here! It’s such a treat to work with you, Ashley and Shelly! 👻

October is Physical Therapy Month, and we’re celebrating our amazing PT team! From helping little ones achieve important milestones like rolling, crawling, and walking, to strengthening core muscles, improving stability, and supporting healthy breathing patterns, Ashley and Shelly play a vital role in helping our patients move, grow, and thrive. 💪💨

Their expertise ensures each child builds the strength, coordination, and confidence needed for success, and our clinic simply wouldn’t be complete without the knowledge, dedication, and heart they bring to our multidisciplinary team. ❤️

Help us celebrate our spooktacular PTs this month! 🧡🕸️

We can’t wait to see all your creative costumes and smiles—therapy just got a little more magical (and a lot more fun)!

🌟 Teamwork Makes Progress Happen! 🌟

Check out sweet Beau, just 24 hours post-frenectomy! His release was completed by Dr. Brynn Leroux at AIPD, and our BodyWorks Therapy Specialists team was thrilled to collaborate with Dr. Leroux and her team to optimize both pre- and post-frenectomy care.

Prior to his release, Beau worked with SLP, Megan Dewberry, and PT, Ashley Larson, to prepare for success. He was seen again just 24 hours post-op for continued therapy—and the progress is already showing! 🙌

In this photo, you can see Beau showing off improved range of motion, reduced tension, and an optimal tongue rest posture on the palate with nasal breathing (following some clinician facilitation during treatment).

💪 Way to go, Beau and family! Remember—oral motor function, feeding, and body mechanics after a frenectomy is a marathon, not a sprint. With dedication and consistency, the long-term results are so worth it! 💙

Happy Boss’s Day to our fearless leader, Ashley!

Ashley is truly the heart of our team — the embodiment of work ethic, passion, dedication, and grit. Her constant drive to learn, grow, and do better inspires everyone around her. She leads with both strength and heart, modeling diligence, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence in everything she does.

It’s an honor and privilege to work alongside her — to be part of her team, her vision, and her incredible energy. We’re so grateful for all she does (and all she is!).

We love you, Ashley — thank you for leading the way every single day! ❤

Thank you to with for an amazing Lunch & Learn (and the delicious sandwiches and cookies)! We gained so much valuable insight into perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and learned practical ways we as clinicians can better support the families we serve. Christine shared helpful strategies for screening and referral, empowering us to take a better family-centered approach to care.
