Grateful for the depth this added to my clinical toolbox.

Patients deserve skilled, evidence-informed, whole-body care, and continuing education like this helps me better assess root causes, intervene more precisely, and support families with confidence and clarity.

Always learning. Always advocating. Always serving the tiniest humans 🤍👶

🎓 Graduation Day Celebration 🎉

Today we are celebrating Kali and the incredible progress she has made!

Kali first came to us when her mom shared concerns about frequent gagging with solids and constant nursing. Kali was nursing every 30–45 minutes throughout the day and never seemed fully satisfied or comfortable. Feeding was hard, exhausting, and stressful for everyone involved.

We began by focusing on oral function and nervous system regulation—reducing tension throughout Kali’s body, improving range of motion, and gently decreasing oral aversions. Once Kali reached therapeutic readiness, she underwent a tongue and lip tie release.

Since then, her growth has been truly remarkable. 🌱
✨ Kali continues to breastfeed comfortably, now spacing feeds to every 3–4 hours
✨ She is sleeping better at night
✨ She enjoys a wide variety of foods
✨ She drinks independently from a straw
✨ Her oral resting posture continues to improve

We are so proud of Kali and so grateful to her family for their trust, commitment, and teamwork throughout this journey. Watching her grow in comfort, confidence, and function has been an absolute joy.

Congratulations, Kali — you did amazing things! 💛🌼

What a beautiful way to start the new year.

Updates like this remind us why we do what we do. Seeing a litte guy sleep through the night, gain comfort with eating, and find joy in food again is everything. So grateful to walk alongside families on their feeding journey. ❤️🍕

✨ Year in Review | Grateful & Growing ✨

What started as one day a week in a shared space—seeing my very own patients “on the side”—has grown into my full-time calling. Today, nearly all of the patients I serve are seen in my own commercial space, caring for families in a way I once only dreamed of.

From the very beginning, I dreamed of building a practice like this— I wanted the freedom to truly specialize, to go deep, and to do this work with excellence. Over the years, I have immersed myself—and continue to immerse myself—in research, advanced coursework, mentorship, and collaboration with other professionals focused on feeding, oral function, and healthy growth. I wanted this office to be different. A place where families are supported by experienced, highly educated providers offering the absolute best therapy possible.

This year, Feeding Foundations Speech Therapy has continued to grow—not just in size, but in purpose. We expanded beyond speech and feeding therapy by adding occupational therapy, allowing us to treat the whole child and support better, more meaningful outcomes for the families we serve.

If I’m honest, I was once deeply resistant—and scared—of stepping out independently. Putting myself out there as a woman owning and running a small, local business felt overwhelming at times. But my husband and family have supported me wholeheartedly—pushing me forward, believing in me, and patiently walking beside me as I learned to build healthy boundaries between this passion and my home life.

I am endlessly thankful for the families who have trusted me with their children and welcomed me into their journeys with such kindness. And above all, I am grateful for the Lord’s grace and abundant blessings—every step of the way.

✨ Here’s to 2026.
I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. ✨

🦋 Happy Share the Seal Day! 🦋

Today I’m honored to celebrate alongside professionals worldwide who have completed TOTS Training® and earned the official TOTS Seal. This seal is a symbol of dedication, clinical growth, and a shared commitment to raising the standard of care in orofacial myology and feeding therapy.

For me, this training was just the beginning. Earning the seal opened the door to a deeper passion—expanding my knowledge in myofunctional therapy, airway health, infant-toddler feeding, and overall development. It didn’t mark the end of my education…it ignited a journey to keep learning everything I can to better serve the families I work with. 💙

I’m so proud to be part of this community of compassionate, evidence-based providers who are making a difference one patient at a time.

One of the sweetest parts of running my practice is connecting with amazing families. A mom of one of my little clients owns a local business, Pretty Prints, and she made me these beautiful custom stickers

I absolutely love how they turned out — such a thoughtful detail made with so much care!

If you’re looking for quality custom stickers (or just want to support a wonderful local mama), check out Pretty Prints 👉 https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19nwz8NN8Z/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Thank you again for adding a special touch to Feeding Foundations 💛

Over the last two days, I’ve had the privilege of attending a continuing education course focused on baby-friendly techniques to support infants, toddlers, and children with feeding challenges. As a speech-language pathologist and infant feeding specialist, staying up to date on research and clinical techniques allows me to serve families with the very best care.

This course reinforced how vital it is to look at the root of feeding challenges and create individualized, gentle interventions to guide oral function back on track.

At Feeding Foundations Speech Therapy, my mission is always the same:
🌿 Caring for the root. Guiding the growth. 🌿

I am so excited to continue bringing these advanced strategies into the therapy room—supporting little ones and empowering their families every step of the way. 💕

🎉 Graduation Day for T! 🎉

When T first came to me, his diet was extremely limited — just two flavors of purée from a pouch. He was living with ARFID and experiencing significant anxiety around eating.

Fast forward just a few months of focused feeding therapy, and this amazing little boy is now enjoying a wide variety of foods — including fruits, veggies, meats — and even drinking through a straw! 🌟

His family’s dedication and follow-through at home played a huge role in his success. Together, we worked to reduce fear, build trust, and increase function.

Today we celebrated T’s progress with his very own graduation cupcake 🧁 — a true symbol of how far he’s come. Seeing his confidence as he ENJOYED his treat was such a joy.

I’m SO proud of you, T! 👏

🌟 Big News at Feeding Foundations! 🌟

We’re growing — and so is our ability to serve your family even more fully!

We’re excited to welcome Rhonda Shockley, MS, OTR/L CIMC to our multidisciplinary Feeding Foundations team as a pediatric occupational therapist! With 15 years of experience and a heart for infants and toddlers, Rhonda brings a wealth of knowledge and deep personal passion to her work.

Rhonda’s journey as both a therapist and a mother fuels her unique approach to care — one that focuses not only on feeding, but on the whole child, their physical development, and the family unit that supports them.

✨ Her expertise includes:
✔️ Feeding challenges from infancy through toddlerhood
✔️ Therapeutic infant massage — ideal for babies with tension, feeding difficulties, or pre/post oral ties
✔️ Supporting sensory, motor, and physical development
✔️ Holistic strategies to help babies latch, feed, and thrive

At Feeding Foundations, we believe that feeding is more than just a skill — it’s an experience shaped by the body, environment, and emotional connection. That’s why a team approach is key. Our feeding specialists collaborate across disciplines to offer truly comprehensive care — and Rhonda is the perfect addition to support that mission.

I’m honorped to have my friend and now coworker on board and can’t wait for you to meet her ❤️.
