Beginning with an oral mechanism exam, followed by a weighted feed, and ending with a comprehensive feeding plan. We offer compassionate, evidence-based care.

Experiences that Inspire

We understand that each person’s journey is unique, and so is the care they need.

Alyssa

“I cannot thank Sheridan enough for all of her knowledge and support! As a new mom, I was completely overwhelmed trying to breastfeed for the first time. Sheridan took the time to really listen to my concerns, carefully assess my baby’s latch, and offer practical, compassionate guidance that made an immediate difference. If you’re a new parent struggling to breastfeed, Sheridan is an invaluable resource!”

Caitlyn

“I was at my wits end when Colleen started OT with my son. I had run out of ideas and truly didn’t know what to do next. She was the beacon of hope that our family needed! I was immediately able to make small changes to our routine that supported my son and brought out the joyful little boy I knew and loved! She never once made me feel guilty or inadequate as a mother and instead gave me the tools to support my child. We are so grateful for everything that she has done for us!”

Kayla

“Sheridan was so consistent, caring, and creative. She always came up with fun and meaningful activities tailored specifically to our daughter to make communicating a smoother day to day experience. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about her progress and since starting therapy, our daughter’s communication flourished.”

Kayla

“Colleen brought such patience and understanding. She shared amazing tips and tools that helped my daughter cope with frustration from her speech delay and made daily life so much easier. Even ensuring what was learned at home could be incorporated into outside settings and routines.”

Jessica

“I can’t say enough about how genuinely grateful we are for Sheridan and Colleen and their incredible impact on our son. Working with both of them together as a team has been nothing short of life-changing. After just one feeding session, he made progress we had been waiting on for so long. They celebrate his wins alongside us and on the tough days, they meet him with patience, creativity, and compassion. They go above and beyond not only for our son but for us as parents. I couldn’t recommend them more - they are an incredible team and we are so lucky to have them!”
