Five years ago, I started this journey as a feeding therapist with one goal — to support children and families through some of the most challenging and emotional parts of feeding.

Today, I am incredibly grateful to be celebrating 5 years in business serving families throughout Syracuse and beyond. Thank you to every family who has trusted me, welcomed me into your homes, and allowed me to be part of your child’s feeding journey. It is truly an honor to support your children, celebrate the victories (big and small), and walk alongside you through the challenges.

This work means so much to me, and I never take for granted the trust you place in me. I am beyond thankful for the relationships, growth, and community that these past five years have brought.

Here’s to continuing to help children build confidence, skills, and positive experiences around feeding for many years to come. ❤️

May is an important month to recognize some extremely valuable professionals (thank you teachers and nurses!). It is also Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) Awareness month. I work with families who struggle with PFD everyday, and its impacts are felt throughout the entire family unit, not just the child.

Feeding Matters is the first organization in the world uniting families, healthcare professionals, and the broader community to improve the system of care for children with pediatric feeding disorder through advocacy, education, support, and research.

Take a moment to check out their IG page or website www.feedingmatters.org to learn a bit more about PFD and how you can be an advocate and increase awareness too.

ATTENTION NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS

🚨⚠️ If you have are a parent, caregiver or family member of a child who has ever spent time on the wait list for early intervention services or

🚨⚠️if you are are a current, former or future early intervention provider or

🚨⚠️ if you understand how impactful calling and writing your representatives actually does matter..

Please consider calling your state senator and your assembly member about this. Your call and your voice matters.

Advocating for this rate increase will encourage more SLPs to work in early intervention, a setting that has been grossly underpaid for years which directly contributes to the tremendous waitlist, preventing children from getting the services they deserve.

Two years ago this month I started the Caregiver/Parent Support Group. As with most new adventures it has been a big learning experience for me. I’ve connected with so many wonderful and valuable professionals in our community and in turn, have been able to connect new parents to these professionals as well!

🫶🏽A sincere thank you goes out to Leah at the who has given our group a home the last year after running out of space at the YMCA.

🫶🏽Another sincere thank you goes out to every professional who has showed up (many more than once!) and demonstrated how much they want to give back and help parents in our community.

🫶🏽The last thank you goes out to those new moms and dads who have stepped out of their comfort zone and into one of our meetings. I hope you’ve found value and connection by coming 🤍

Hope to see you sometime in 2024 at a meeting.
