Empowering Infant Feeding

Welcome to the compassionate world of infant feeding, where expertise meets empathy.

Hi, I’m Rachael. With an 8-year journey as a specialist in dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) and feeding, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to guide parents through the intricate challenges of nourishing their precious little ones. Boasting 5 1/2 years of NICU experience, I have had the privilege of caring for medically fragile and complex infants, earning the title of a Certified Neonatal Therapist. As a Certified Neonatal Touch & Massage Therapist, I understand the delicate nuances of nurturing newborns with a tender touch.

What sets me apart is not just my professional certifications, but my personal journey as well. As a preemie parent who has navigated the path of a child with a feeding disorder, I intimately comprehend the emotional rollercoaster that parents experience in the NICU. This unique perspective fuels my commitment to providing not only expert guidance but also a heartfelt understanding of the challenges families face.

As a Responsive Feeding Therapist, my approach revolves around fostering autonomy in children during feeding. I believe in empowering both parents and their little ones to create a harmonious and nourishing feeding environment. To explore the transformative possibilities of responsive feeding, delve into the heart of my expertise on this website. Together, let's embark on a journey where feeding becomes not just a necessity but a beautiful, bonding experience for both parent and child.
