KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS ~

We absolutely adore Jaime not only as a provider but also a human being.

"We absolutely adore Jaime not only as a provider but also a human being. She genuinely cares, and it is abundantly obvious in the care you receive from her and the growth you will see in your children from working with her. I would recommend Jaime for any and all feeding and speech needs without an ounce of hesitation. She is our go-to, and I can never find enough words to thank her for all she has done for our girls."
~ Katelyn
Jaime was a godsend in a very stressful and frustrating time...

"Jaime was a godsend in a very stressful and frustrating time when we were navigating our infant's latch and suck struggles. She was kind and compassionate, on top of being knowledgeable; she taught us ways we could work with our daughter and helped us connect with more support. A dear family friend said a good feeding specialist is worth their weight in gold-- Jaime is absolutely that and has the kindest heart to top it off."
~ Lydia
She's an incredible asset to any child's journey...

“Jaime is attentive, caring, organized, and thorough. You can tell she's not only incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to her specialties, but also so passionate. Jaime presents a feeling of security and love towards all children — both of my children are incredibly shy, and they were immediately drawn to her with no hesitation. She's an incredible asset to any child's journey, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.”
