About Me

Hi there! I am Sarah, founder of Live Well Feeding Therapy, and a mom of two amazing girls. Both of my girls had challenges with feeding and breathing from birth. I always knew something was not right, but struggled to find a provider who could help. My
passion and drive to find the knowledge and answers led me to become a pediatric feeding
therapist. It wasn’t long before I learned about orofacial myofunctional therapy and I soon added orofacial myology to my toolbox! 

 

It has definitely been a journey, and I know this is just the beginning. I have become very passionate about feeding, speech, and breathing and am relieved I finally found answers to help my family. I am excited to share that passion with all of you! If you are struggling with a feeding journey, are labeled as a “picky eater,” have difficulty communicating clearly, have difficulty breathing, or simply feel that something is not quite right, I am here to help! I am excited to share my knowledge and personal experience to help problem solve general to complex feeding, breathing, and speech issues.
