Occupational Therapy, wellness & infant feeding Services for babies from birth and beyond
Offering in-home services and virtual consultations
Welcome to giggle and grow
At Giggle and Grow, our mission is to provide families and infants with compassionate and individualized care. We aim to alleviate the significant burden and stress caused by diagnoses such as torticollis, plagiocephaly, reflux, and oral motor challenges (e.g., tongue and lip tie) that often lead to feeding and developmental difficulties. As an Occupational Therapist and a mother, I have witnessed the critical impact of early intervention firsthand. The name Giggle and Grow reflects our company's commitment to deliver meaningful guidance and intervention that not only supports a child's growth but also ensures the family and child can enjoy the process along the way.

Owner, Occupational Therapist
As a pediatric occupational therapist and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, I've had the joy of working with countless kids and families in both home health and clinic settings. While I've helped children with a wide range of diagnoses and challenges, my heart has always been with infant feeding and development.
My passion for this work became deeply personal after a challenging feeding journey with my own son plagued by incorrect timing of a tongue tie release, inadequate support following release, bottle refusal, sleep difficulties and so much more. That experience ignited a fire in me to support other infants, moms, and families navigating similar struggles. I've since dedicated myself to extensive education in infant feeding, infant development, orofacial myofunctional disorders, pre/post tongue-tie care, torticollis, plagiocephaly, and sensory development in the 4th trimester.
“Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others,
faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.”
