Occupational Therapist, Feeding Specialist
I am a feeding therapist and owner of Beargrass Pediatric Therapy. As an occupational therapist, I have a passion for helping children and families find joy and peace in mealtimes together. I combine over a decade of pediatric OT experience with advanced training in a variety of feeding therapy approaches to design an individualized treatment plan for your child and family. My mission is to help children build the skills to eat confidently, independently and peacefully during meals. I also value empowering parents so they feel confident in feeding their child and supporting them on their feeding journey.
Foundations of my treatment approach to feeding therapy:
responsive feeding principles (click here for more information)
finger foods approach to starting solids
empowering parents through coaching and education
focus on building relationships through trust and felt safety
child-led, play based learning
motor learning principles for skill building
neurodiversity affirming care and strengths-based approach
