Nursing Newborn

Breastfeeding  &
Bottle Feeding

Let's work together to treat the root cause of breast and/or bottle feeding challenges. At Nourish, we do more than lactation. We blend hands-on feeding therapy, with movement therapy, & bodywork techniques in order to fully  support littles. While parents often come come for feeding concerns, our approach also improves sleep, breathing, constipation, gas, reflux, colic, and helps littles meet milestones.

Starting Solids &
Picky Eating in Toddlerhood

We develop individualized, playful therapy programs based on your child's needs and family goals. Assessment considers where littles are at with milestones, sensory development, reflex integration, posture and strength-- because it's all connected! We pride ourselves in offering the kind of care that we want for our own family. Read about what a feeding evaluation and treatment session looks like here.

Tongue Ties &
Myofunctional Disorders

A myofunctional disorder is abnormal muscle movement patterns in the face, mouth, and lips that can affect sleep, breathing, swallowing, chewing, and speech, which is often due to a tongue tie in our infant clients. The hallmark of a myofunctional disorder is an open mouth posture and/or a high palate. Therapy strengthens muscles to achieve a closed mouth posture with the tongue up, correct feeding habits, and train nasal breathing. We work as part of your team to see families achieve the best outcome. Learn more about myofunctional disorders here.
