Super exciting to see positive changes in the peanut allergy world. The early introduction of allergens is working — with down trending numbers for peanut allergies showing up in the research and it’s suck good news:) I literally just talked to a mama who works with preschooler who shared that this year’s classes are FREE of peanut allergies and that is amazing!!!!

Have questions ❔or feeling nervous 😬 about mixing those top allergens into your baby’s transition to solids just ask!

💫 Hi, I’m Amanda — Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Orofacial Myologist (myofunctional therapist), Certified Breath Coach, and Certified Holistic Sleep Coach.

I specialize in supporting wellness from a holistic and integrative perspective —

✨infants and toddlers with oral function, breathing, feeding, and sleep challenges ✨

✨older kiddos and adults with myofunctional disorders impacting breathing, sleep, and swallowing ✨

— helping families find calm, connection, and confidence through evidence-based, whole body approaches.

My work is rooted in compassion and collaboration — blending science with intuition to address the “why” behind feeding and airway challenges, not just the symptoms. Whether I’m guiding parents through their child’s feeding journey or mentoring fellow clinicians in integrative therapy practices, my mission is the same:
To create empowered, informed, and supported care.

🪴Here you’ll find insights, education, and a safe space to ask questions
🐣Parents — you’re not alone in this journey
💭Therapists — welcome to a community that values both the art and science of our work

And that’s a wrap!

GOMAP AZ - another successful class spent with some awesome therapists!

Packed in all the infant and toddler feeding strategies from suck training hierarchy to K-tape and all the things in between:)

Guide the movement. Activate the pattern. Build the foundation and watch the trajectory change! 👏

Travelled down a “lowly sidewalk” for THREE whole days with this group of therapists and it was sooo good!

Curious. Passionate. Driven. Excited to see each of them apply the myofunctional lens to their speech and OT brain banks. Patient care elevated! ☑️

We laughed, celebrated patient progress, shared frustrations, problem solved challenges we face as therapists and business owners, and LEARNED together so that we can bring our best into each session with our patients.

👏 🙌 ❤️

Babies are amazing little communicators from birth! From those early oral reflexes like rooting..to eye contact and nuzzling in for a feed…your baby is talking to you and building the foundational skills for language development!

Be present and curious with a focus on connection and building attachment:)

Watch their eyes and face: eye contact, blinking, and looking away can all be messages. Looking at you may show interest or connection while turning away or furrowing brows may signal overstimulation or a need for a break.

Listen to their sounds: babies grunt, snort, coo and cry with soft sighs and coos showing contentment and crying, gulping, or clicking showing discomfort, air intake, or latch issues.

Notice their body movements: hands, arms, and legs can tell you a lot! Relaxed hands and limbs show comfort and tolerance of flow rate. Tense or flailing may indicate frustration or the need to adjust position or flow rate.

Pause for responses: pause during feeding and wait for their cues. Thai will support back and forth (reciprocal) interactions and build trust.

Respond calmly and consistently: Your responsiveness helps them feel safe. Talk softly, adjust the pace, or reposition if baby seems stressed. They will learn that their signals matter which boosts emotional security and helps them maintain parasympathetic state.

Use skin-to-skin and close contact: a huge stimulator for enhancing bonding and supporting your ability to read their subtle cues while calming your baby’s nervous system and increasing oxytocin for both of you!

And most importantly…TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!! You’ve got this mama! You know your baby best - even when you are still learning their language. Each baby communicates in unique ways so keep being present and curious and observe the beauty of the process:)

Still feel like you need support understanding your baby’s cues? I’m happy to help:)

If your little is struggling with feeding it can feel beyond overwhelming! Cue all the stress and anxiety around mealtimes… 😫

I’ve spent the last 18 years of my 21 years as a speech-pathologist focusing on infant and toddler feeding with a healthy dose of Myofunctional therapy for kiddos over 4 years old…and I can tell you not every strategy for feeding therapy works ALL the time and it takes a beautiful balance of layering in compassion, connection, confidence building, and exploration to find the right fit! 🩰💃

Approaching therapy with an understanding that every child is as unique as their fingerprint while leaning into evidence based interventions is key. 🔑

These are some of my favorite approaches to incorporate in sessions with toddlers and older kiddos too…

Reducing mealtime stress, improving connection with food, building confidence with new textures and flavors, calming the nervous system, and prioritizing your child’s emotional safety and long-term success are just a few of the focus areas…

Plus a sprinkle of fun, a dash of joy, and a hefty helping of patience are always at the table too! 🍽️

It takes a village and I am happy to help connect you with a qualified therapist in your area if you feel you need support on this feeding journey with your little:) 💬

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas I get to walk this journey of motherhood with! So grateful to be surrounded and inspired by strong, resilient, confident, and brilliant leaders of these children we are raising as a village:).

Just remember that even when it feels tough and draining that your mama gut always knows best and I’m beyond blessed to learn from each mama I meet! 🤗❤️🌷

It’s Spring Break week for me! 🙌🏝️☀️

I’ll be using this week to recharge…lots of family time, fun with friends, and all the sunshine, sand, and ocean waves FTW!

Here’s your cue to get some morning and afternoon natural sunlight to support your sleep! Acting as a zeitgeber to support your body’s circadian rhythms with the 24 hour light/dark cycles, getting even 10 minutes will boost your (and your baby’s) sleep! ☀️

📣Excited to add Certified Holistic Sleep Coach to my title!!!

⏳So many hours poured into this process for more than a year…and now I’m beyond thrilled to support families with more knowledge and strategies for SLEEP!

🍼🤱🏻🥱The intimate connection between feeding and sleep brought me to this space and it’s been such a wonderful addition to my work with littles and their families already…and I’m just getting started:)

🙏🏼 Thank you to the families who volunteered to be my case studies for the certification process! Forever grateful!!! 💗

It was a good week despite shuffling appointments based on road conditions and snow expectations! ❄️

Wrapping up some notes while I wait for the next round of snow to fall…

Celebrating a few babes that graduated who are meeting all those milestones for breast feeding, bottle feeding, and transition to solids! 🙌

Cheering on others who are making gains (literally and figuratively)…breathing better, consistently getting a nice deep latch with increased transfer, better at managing foods without coughing or choking, chewing with their lips closed, making new sounds and words, learning gesture and signs…all the things!

And looking forward to some travel for continuing education…some I get to be the student and some I get to teach! But honestly I learn from all of them! 📚 💻

Happy Friday!

💛 Amanda
