More than just the latch 🤍

Our Tongue Tie Baby Play Group (0–9 months) supports the whole baby—feeding, airway health, and early motor development that lays the foundation for eating and speech.

Led by an Speech-Language Pathologist + IBCLC Lactation Consultant specializing in tethered oral tissues (TOTs), you’ll learn to recognize signs beyond feeding and how to support your baby’s movement, breathing, and development.

✨ Airway Health
✨ Motor skills for feeding & speech
✨ Signs of TOTs beyond the latch
✨ Practical tools you can use right away

Because how babies move, breathe, and feed now shapes how they eat, breathe, and communicate later 💛

Free community event. No registration required. Just show up ready to play.

Your baby isn’t lazy.

When I see baby labeled as lazy, here’s what I actually see:

A baby working so hard to feed that they wear themselves out and fall asleep.

A baby who stops sucking — not because they don’t want to eat, but because they need a second to rest. To breathe.

A baby running a marathon with their shoelaces tied together.

Or a baby so confused about how to organize their mouth for feeding that they’re exhausted just trying to figure out how to compensate.

Maybe breathing is hard because of body asymmetries. Maybe the coordination is off because of tight muscles, or weak muscles — and every single feed is a full-body effort. There’s doing their absolute best.

These babies are not lazy.

They’re driven. They’re motivated. They’re trying as hard as they possibly can.

They’re actually the ones working the hardest.

There’s a why. Let’s find it. 💛

Feeding is never just feeding. 💛
It’s tied to development. To the whole body. To how your baby moves, breathes, regulates, and grows. And you deserves care that looks at the whole picture — not just the mouth.

I’m Carissa — Speech-Language Pathologist, Feeding Therapist, and Lactation Consultant offering specialized, development focused whole-body support for infants and toddlers at every stage of their feeding journey.

Here’s how we can work together:

🤰 Prenatal Lactation — Build your foundation before baby arrives, so you feel prepared

🍼 Infant Feeding Support — Breast and bottle feeding — with a whole body lens that goes beyond the latch

🍗 Infant + Toddler Feeding Therapy — When eating feels hard, stressful, or limited, we dig into the why and build a path forward

👶 Baby + Me Play Groups — Parent community + expert guidance in one place, covering:
→ Infant massage
→ Starting solids
→ Tongue tie support group

I built this practice to help you and your little ones thrive — with support along every step of your feeding journey. 🌿

Let’s clear up the difference between bodywork and body therapy. It’s not a matter of one or the other. Babies with complex feeding challenges, like those with tongue ties, need both!

Teamwork makes the dream work. Bodywork + Therapy = 👩‍🍳💋

Feedings that regularly last 45-60+ minutes often means your baby is working harder than they should be. And in many cases, it’s only a matter of time before this impacts milk supply and weight gain.

Common reasons:
-oral weakness
-structural limitations, could be tension or ties
-disorganized suck skills
-poor suck-swallow-breathe coordination
-postural instability

Feeding therapy helps babies develop the skills that make feeding easier. 💛
