  • What Parents + Caregivers Are Saying

    “Working with Catherine has been an absolute game-changer. We initially sought her help to overcome my son’s oral aversion, and after just one session, he made more progress than he had in months of therapy. She creates a fun, supportive environment that encourages growth, and we are so grateful for the difference she has made in our son’s journey.”

  • What Parents + Caregivers Are Saying

    “Catherine helped me through my son refusing a bottle and I am forever grateful for it! We got him drinking smoothies out of a straw cup and eventually breastmilk too. As a first time mom, it was such a relief having someone to talk to that reassured me and gave me feeding support for my son when everything felt overwhelming! She is the best!”

  • What Parents + Caregivers Are Saying

    “Catherine is simply the best! We first worked with her for our preemie daughter who had feeding challenges. Catherine guided our entire family in working through the issues. We now have an almost 3 year old with a sophisticated palette and an exploding vocabulary. We now are using Catherine for speech development for our son. We are forever grateful for Catherine’s guidance and expertise.”
