I want to be the best mama I can be. My husband and I have three little girls under the age of 5 and I am one of those “I always wanted to be a mom” people. I’m a mess of wanting so badly to own that statement and feeling silly writing it all at the same time. I am a pediatric occupational therapist by trade and feel like my job was practice parenting, except only the easier parts because I could give the kids back after a difficult session and head home to my own quiet house. Becoming a parent has made me a better therapist. I get it. And boy am I embarassed at some of the things I have suggested to parents in the past. I now understand that I should have started our conversation with “How many times were you up last night?” or “Did your kid toss aside the food you carefully planned and prepared, only to ask for grilled cheese?”.

I specialize in feeding & swallowing and strive to help parents feel confident feeding their children. Mealtime with young children is crazy at the best of times, let alone kids with feeding challenges. I am genuinely honoured when a family invites me to join their team and co-navigate the feeding journey.
