Pediatric Speech, Language, and Feeding Evaluations (Virtual)

​

Bilingual (Spanish-English) and Monolingual (English-only) evaluations are conducted online to determine the developmental level of functioning of the client in terms of speech, language and feeding skills. Evaluations are performed using formal tools such as questionnaires and developmental scales as well as naturalistic techniques, such as engaging the child/adult through games, conversation, story-telling or other activities. In addition, the parent/caregiver will provide information on the client's development and linguistic environment. Evaluations typically last 1 hour after which the results are reviewed with the parent/caregiver and recommendations will be made. A detailed evaluation report will also be provided via email within 5 business days of the evaluation session.

Holistic Speech and Language Therapy for Children and Adults  (Virtual)

​

Holistic Speech and language teletherapy sessions are provided for both children and adults, in the comfort of your own home. These online Sessions are conducted for 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes (frequency varies), depending on what is appropriate for the client and family. Each session will include direct therapy, consultation for parents/caregivers, progress updates, and home practice activity suggestions. Communication with other professionals treating the client (e.g., teachers, occupational therapists, psychologists, medical professionals, etc.) will also be available upon request. 

 

Holistic Speech and Language Enrichment Sessions (Virtual Pediatric Session)

​

Perhaps your child was evaluated and did not qualify for therapy. However, you may still feel like you want to do more to help stimulate speech and language development. This is a common scenario and online speech/language enrichment sessions are a great way to help your child increase their receptive, expressive and social language exposure. Through activities such as arts and crafts, yoga, mindfulness, playing, singing, coloring (and much more), sessions will be provided that will foster lasting development of communication or feeding skills. 

 

These sessions are geared towards reducing the anxiety sometimes associated with placing communication or feeding demands on a child and increasing the desire to participate in a fun and enjoyable environment, providing opportunities to be creative and engaged. Learning will take place organically, when the child is interested in the world around him or her. The parent/caregiver will be included in every session if desired and will learn therapeutic techniques along with the child. This will ensure carryover of newly acquired skills into the home. 

 

Holistic Parent Coaching (Virtual)

​

Parenting is a journey of awakening and teaches us so much about our true self; from our inner child, to our ego, to stuck trauma and emotions.  Holistic Parent Coaching is a 1-on-1 online session and can be provided whether your child has a communication or feeding disorder, is considered “special needs”, is a highly sensitive child,  is considered gifted or is typically developing. Communicating effectively with children can be challenging at times. This is especially true for parents with unhealed trauma (e.g., childhood trauma, birth trauma, ancestral trauma, etc.).  Children are more tuned into the energies around them and can easily pick up the stress and anxiety from other people and environments.

 

Through holistic parent coaching, I can provide you with the techniques I have learned as a parent, therapist and energy healer to pinpoint the obvious (e.g., mismatch between parent and child communication styles) and less obvious (e.g., energetic blockages, inner child healing, etc.) causes of communication breakdowns. If your child is experiencing meltdowns, tantrums or any other behavioral difficulties, then it is possible that your child is communicating a profound message to you. Holistic parent coaching sessions can help you interpret these messages.  Learning the different ways children are communicating beyond the speech and language they are producing is integral to improving your child's quality of life and your connection to them. Holistic parent coaching sessions are compassionate and non-judgmental and are meant to help you feel empowered.

Professional Mentoring (Virtual)

​

If you are an educator or therapist and are looking to expand your skills into the holistic and alternative healing modalities, then mentoring services are for you. These are live, 1-on-1 online  sessions, conducted in the comfort of your home or workplace. 

 

I have come across many Speech-Language Pathologists, Special Education Teachers, Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists who are true healers at heart. These are the professionals who refuse to settle for burn-out and are constantly seeking the most rewarding ways to change their clients’ or students’ lives. I know this first hand, because I was this professional. 

 

During mentoring sessions, you will receive guidance on resources (e.g., books, information, courses, websites) that can help you take the next step towards providing holistic and integrative services to the children or adults with special needs and speech/language/feeding disorders that you serve.
