My Journey and Mission
As a wife, mother, and educator, my experiences deeply inform the support I provide to parents and children. My primary goal as a speech-language pathologist and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is to ensure babies have the best start in oral feeding and speech development. At Green Living and Wellness, my mission is to provide you—the parent—with essential support and guidance for breastfeeding, from birth and beyond.
Educational Background and Experience
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Science from The Ohio State University and a master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Cincinnati. With 17 years of experience in pediatric therapy and a decade leading my practice, Premier Speech, I’ve gained profound insights into the critical importance of early intervention in a child’s life, from birth to age three. This led me to further specialize by becoming an IBCLC and gaining expertise in tethered oral tissues, as well as assessing and treating feeding and communication disorders, including pre- and post-revision therapy.
I approach every consultation with deep empathy and understanding, recognizing that each family’s journey is unique. My goal is to provide support and care that respects your individual needs and feelings.
Armed with advanced training and extensive practical experience, I offer expert guidance to empower parents with confidence in feeding their infants. I stay updated with the latest research to ensure our advice is both current and effective.
I am here to support you through every step of your feeding journey, from prenatal preparation to postpartum adjustments and beyond. My services are designed to provide personalized assistance that adapts to your evolving needs.
Trust is the foundation of my practice. I am committed to providing honest, transparent, and ethical advice. My recommendations are always based on what’s best for you and your baby, without any external influences or biases.
