HOUSTON’S TRUSTED EXPERT ON HOLISTIC BREASTFEEDING, BABY DEVELOPMENT, AND BODYWORK
You deserve 1 expert at home, not driving to 5 different providers around town
You Deserve More Than a Lactation Consultant.
Whole-body breastfeeding and developmental support, in your home, for the entire fourth trimester.
Most breastfeeding support looks at the latch and stops there. I look further. As a Certified NICU Occupational Therapist (CNT) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I see your baby's body tension, oral motor function, primitive reflexes, and developmental milestones as one connected picture — and I address all of it, in your home, from one person, for the entire journey.
You shouldn’t have to choose between breastfeeding support and developmental care. You shouldn’t have to drive to three different specialists on no sleep with a newborn. And you shouldn’t have to figure any of this out alone.
That is exactly what I’m here for. 💜

I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are Right Now
My son was born with a tongue tie, a lip tie, and body tension that nobody in the hospital could help with. I knew from the very first feed that something was wrong. I was a Certified NICU Occupational Therapist with years of newborn experience and I still couldn’t see my own baby's whole picture clearly when I was surviving one painful feed at a time.
The turning point came when I connected the body tension to the tie to the oral motor dysfunction and addressed the whole picture together. February 19, 2023. I’ll never forget the morning the first feed didn’t hurt and we didn’t need a nipple shield. I sat in the nursing chair and cried. Not from sadness. From the particular fullness of something finally working after weeks of pushing through something that was never supposed to feel that way.
That morning is the reason Lovely Littles Therapy exists. I built the practice I wish had existed when I was sitting in my own nursing chair at 5am wondering if it was ever going to get better.
If you are in that chair right now — it is going to get better. And you do not have to figure out how alone. 💜
