“I wanted to say thank you to Maria for her help when my son was born. Maria took time out of her weekend on a moments notice to support me and I will forever be grateful. We are doing well and our son is 8 months old now and I’m still breastfeeding!”

“I never imagined nursing would be going this well.”

“My 1 week old newborn and I were having a really difficult time nursing. She would not be able to take in what she needed in an efficient amount of time, leaving her constantly unsatisfied after each nursing session, and me a paranoid mess. Maria came to us and worked on my baby’s tension for an hour and a half, gave us tips in the right bottle and pacifier to use and gave me tips to achieve and maintain a better latch. Ever since, nursing has quickly and steadily improved. Now at 3 weeks old, she gets what she needs at each 20-30 minute session and we barely use bottles or formula now!”

Maria worked with me and my 4-month-old son to help reestablish a healthy breastfeeding latch after his tongue-tie release. She also helped us introduce foods in a way that felt safe, healthy, and completely took the stress out of the process. Later, she guided us through transitioning to bottles and eventually sippy cups. I would highly recommend Maria for her vast knowledge across so many areas and her warm, supportive approach.

We are incredibly grateful for the support and care we received during our baby girl Leona’s bottle-feeding journey. As a mom of three, I truly thought this stage would be easy—especially since I’m mostly nursing and have experience bottle-feeding. But it wasn’t. When I tried to introduce a bottle, Leona refused and would gag, which quickly became stressful and discouraging.

From the very beginning, Maria was kind, patient, and truly attentive—not only to Leona’s needs, but also to mine as a mom. She took the time to understand our situation, respected our preferences, and created a plan that felt both supportive and realistic for our family.

She is incredibly knowledgeable, yet never overwhelming—she doesn’t push information unless it’s needed or requested, which made the entire process feel comfortable and empowering.

Her gentle approach and expertise made all the difference. What once felt overwhelming and stressful became manageable and, ultimately, successful. Thanks to her guidance, Leona is now confidently taking bottles and thriving.

This has given our family so much flexibility—others can help with feeding, and I can step away when needed with complete peace of mind. We couldn’t have done this without her, and I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to any family navigating feeding challenges. She truly made a lasting impact on our lives.

“Our son was born with significant body tension that impacted his latch, ability to take a bottle, swallowing, and reflux. Enter the amazing Maria!

I never anticipated feeding would be our number one postpartum challenge, and I'm not sure where we'd be without Maria's help working through it. She comes to our home for visits to work with our son and us on body mechanics that have loosened his tension and strengthened his latch. She's coached me on breastfeeding techniques and demystified all things bottle and pacifier to find a fit and flow to make things easier.

I never anticipated feeding would be our number one postpartum challenge, and I'm not sure where we'd be without Maria's help working through it.

She's worked with us through feeding positions and options to combat GERD, and she'll be with us through the transition to solids and the continuing first-year milestones. She's also given us so many tips for stretches and tummy time that I would have been clueless about otherwise. Because she visits our home, she shows us how to use the baby items we already own and our set up to work with our son on stretches and tummy time.

He's now doing beautifully, we've found feeding solutions that work for us, and his body tension is nearly gone! Highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for an OT for your infant or toddler!”
