Today is Admin Professionals Day—but around here, we think Kelly deserves acknowledgment every day.

She’s the calm in the chaos, the keeper of all the moving parts, and the friendly face behind every first email, reminder text, and schedule change. She handles every curveball (and there are plenty) with grace, humor, and heart.

Kelly, thank you for the love, organization, and patience you pour into Flourish Carolina every day. You are truly the glue that holds us together—and we adore you. I couldn’t ask for a better teammate and bestie - Love you, mean it.

Leave her some love in the comments 🤍

🦃 PSA for the Holiday Table: Let’s Talk Picky Eating 🌟

As we gather around the table this holiday season, let’s remember: the dinner table is NOT the place to discuss your child’s selective eating.

🍽️ Avoid the pressure. Comments like “Just take one bite!” or “Why won’t they eat that?” can add unnecessary stress to the child—and the parents!

🍬 No bribing or punishing. Food is nourishment, not a reward or punishment. Forcing or bribing only feeds into negative associations with eating.

💡 What you CAN do:
✔️ Respect your child’s comfort level.
✔️ Focus on connection, not consumption.
✔️ Let parents handle their child’s eating challenges without outside interference.

The goal isn’t a “clean plate.” It’s creating a positive environment where kids can explore food at their own pace. Let’s make the holiday table a place of joy, not pressure. 🎁

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms I’ve had the privilege to work with! 💕 I owe a special thanks to my two amazing boys who have taught me nearly everything I know. They’ve been my greatest teachers, guiding me through the highs and lows of motherhood. Together, we’ve shared laughter, bike rides, and baseball games—but we’ve also navigated tongue ties, feeding challenges, sleep apnea, gut health, and nervous system repair. I’ve bravely taken on the role of being a PANS/PANDAS mom, and I would travel thousands of miles all over again to be guided by some of the top providers in the country who have played integral roles in their healing.

Today, I celebrate all of you—thank you for trusting me day in and day out to guide you down a path of healing for your family. Your hugs, calls, check-ins, prayers, and the space you held during my own journey mean more than words can express. I am living proof that even in the toughest moments, there is redemption and growth. Your journey as a mother is a testament to your resilience and unwavering love.

Here’s to the remarkable journey of motherhood—may it be filled with joy, redemption, and endless love! To those who find this day a reminder of pain, my heart goes out to you. 💖

Loved working with yet another family who was able to power through ties and oral tightness, and come out on the other side without a frenectomy.

The secret?
They followed my recommendations step by step and in just four sessions that were spread out monthly, they went from having a 10 month old who was tearful and gagging with solids, to a 13 month old who was eating everything (and with good skill).

Aren’t sure what your baby needs? Seek out a therapist who is highly trained to look at the BIG picture from head to toe. If someone looks in your child’s mouth without a full evaluation of their feeding function, body mobility and milestone assessment, but dismisses your concerns … get another opinion!

A few weeks ago we celebrated ONE YEAR of Kelly. I’m not sure how I survived without her (I didn’t. And some of you know that!). She truly keeps FC afloat by going above and beyond. I’ve started telling people she has the phone, and my 🧠. She doesn’t just answer calls and juggle a chaotic schedule- she is a Mom who has been in your shoes, and gives endless support and reassurance. Her texts come through at all hours and her dedication to families is so apparent. I can’t imagine FC existing without her.

We’ve got some goals set and I love cheering her on! Leave Kelly some love below - she deserves it 💜

Today we wear 💚 GREEN 💚 bringing awareness to Cerebral Palsy. While this day brings up sadness and pain for so many families, we want you to know we are here for you. Those two letters define nothing. These kiddos are strong and unstoppable. We wear different shades to symbolize the growth and progress some of my fav little clients have demonstrated. I am so grateful to play a very small part of their therapy journey.

Top Pacifiers 👶🏼

2 important things to consider when picking a pacifier for your babe:
▫️Shape : Cylindrical pacifiers help the tongue wrap around the sides encouraging similar movement patterns used for feeding. This will also help long term jaw and muscle development. Flat or orthodontic pacifiers encourage low tongue positioning which can lead to weakness and open mouth breathing long term.

▫️Material : Latex vs Silicone? Silicone is non porous which makes it harder for bacteria to settle and attach. Latex is porous and attracts moisture which can lead to bacterial growth. No matter the material, keep them clean and sanitize frequently.

My top recommended pacifiers from the photo above:
Avent Soothie / Ninni Co / Dr. Browns HappyPaci
Ryan & Rose / Itzy Ritzy / Tommee Tippee

A few brands listed carry different shapes, use the guide above to help you select or message me for links!

Follow along for more tips on when to change shape, toss them, and replacement items as you head into teething and solid foods!

In true Bri fashion, I had big plans to complete this when Flourish Carolina was born… and then life happened and y’all filled my schedule in a matter of a weekend.
