We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren. She was incredibly kind, patient, and empathetic, and always took the time to understand our daughter’s individual needs and make her feel comfortable and supported. Her gentle and compassionate approach made such a difference, not only for our daughter but for us as parents as well. We always felt heard, understood, and confident in the guidance she provided. We are so grateful for the care she gave our family and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and truly caring feeding therapist!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Lauren. She is an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled therapist who truly took the time to understand my daughter’s needs. Her approach is thorough, supportive, and effective, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the people she works with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a myofunctional therapist.

Raised the price per session only after paying for the initial evaluation fee. Bad business practices.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry for any frustration regarding the cost of future visits. Because I provide in-home services, travel time and distance do need to be taken into consideration. Your location requires approximately one hour of travel each way, so an additional travel fee would be necessary for me to continue providing services in your home. This was not an increase in my session fee, but rather to accommodate the significant travel time.

I completely understand that this may not work for every family and would be happy to help you find a provider closer to your area. I’m also happy to remain a resource and provide support during the transition. I truly wish your family the very best moving forward.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! She worked with both of my young children and made a tremendous positive difference in our lives. From the very first session, her warm, motherly presence put both my kids and me completely at ease. She has such a gentle, nurturing approach that feels more like family than a clinical appointment. She provided expert speech and language support while also incorporating cranial sacral work, which helped release tension and improve their overall comfort and regulation. The improvements we saw in their feeding, communication, and calmness were noticeable almost immediately. She was especially helpful with breastfeeding support for my youngest. Her guidance was knowledgeable, patient, and practical—she helped troubleshoot issues and gave me the confidence I needed during a challenging time. It was clear she truly cares about the whole family, not just checking boxes. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate SLP who goes above and beyond with cranial sacral therapy and feeding support, look no further. She is an absolute gem and we are so grateful to have found her! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️

Lauren comes across as an expert in her field without being presumptuous. She is gentle and imaginative as she has provided therapy to my little one. She has also been supportive to me as the parent as I've been navigating my little one's feed problems while managing other kids and life in general. I highly recommend her!

Lauren is so talented and the first provider in 15 years that could identify my son's tongue tie and make an appropriate plan of care for him. She is also an incredibly kind person and genuinely cares for her patients and their families. I am grateful for her and thankful for the therapy she has provided - she is a rare gem in a world of healthcare that can be daunting and overwhelming for parents. Thank you, Lauren!!

Highly Recommend! ​Lauren is absolutely amazing. She has been instrumental in helping my 16-month-old son navigate eating and drinking challenges related to his tongue-tie. From day one, she has been there to offer expert advice and answer every question we’ve had. ​She is a wonderful, kind person who truly loves kids. She isn’t afraid to get right down on the floor to play with my son, and he absolutely loves it when she sings the "Turtle Song" to him! He adores her—every time she visits, he runs up to give her a big hug. I would recommend Lauren to any family or friends in need of help; she truly treats you and your children like her own family.

It has been such a pleasure to work with Lauren. She has been working with my 4 year old and 5 month old and has been so great! She always makes sure to loop me in on what’s happening during a session so that I know what to work on between appointments. She is so gentle and patient with kids, and makes sure to include curious siblings, it’s very sweet! She has answered every question I’ve had regarding my children and is very knowledgeable in her field of work. And the cherry on top is that she comes to you!

Lauren helped my son so much with his airway and speech. He is thriving now and breathing through his nose, sleeping through the night, and can concentrate on school better!

Lauren was so wonderful with my son! My 4 year old was struggling with food and he only had 5 safe foods. My husband and I were at wits end. Now my son is so much more comfortable with food and is eating over 20 different foods. She made him feel so comfortable. Mealtimes are not a struggle anymore and he actually enjoys eating! Never thought we would get to this point. Im so grateful! Can't thank Lauren enough!

My daughter had feeding deficits and she was not chewing her food properly and efficiently. Lauren helped her learn how to do so and gave me the tools on how to help her succeed. My daughter has made such great progress.

Lauren is amazing! I was so frustrated trying to feed my 3rd child. She was not gaining weight and was diagnosed as a failure to thrive. She would frequently cough and gag with feeding. I could not imagine what I was doing wrong; I was easily able to breastfeed my first 2 children, but this one would barely take the bottle. My doctor recommended Lauren and shortly after everything turned around. It turns out my daughter had a tongue tie. Such a fragile baby I was very reluctant to have her go through surgery. Lauren understood my fear and put her ALL into helping my baby gain weight. At her last doctor visit, she was in the 60th percentile! Lauren's experience and confidence sincerely helped my daughter succeed in latching and swallowing effectively. She is now advancing her eating, and finally, mealtimes are pleasant.

I'm so thankful for Lauren's help and support! Breastfeeding was very difficult for us. I was discouraged and assumed we couldn’t make it work, but Lauren helped with breastfeeding positions and latching, and now my baby and I are able to comfortably breastfeed!

I thought I was prepared for breastfeeding when I had my son. He struggled with latching and I almost gave up. When I reached out to Lauren she responded immediately and helped my little guy nurse successfully. I am so grateful for Lauren’s help with feeding!

My son has sensory deficits and transitioning from the bottle to solid foods was becoming a nightmare. I was skeptical about feeding therapy at first, but Lauren’s calm, soft demeanor and her gentle approach towards my son was just what he needed. Now he is eating a variety of foods. Mealtimes have finally become enjoyable and not a battle. I am so grateful for my son's progress!
