If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place
Feeding has become stressful and you feel like it should be easier than it is.
You’re watching milestones and wondering, is this normal, or does my baby need support.
You know your child could use extra support, but you feel stuck and you’re not sure where to find it.
You’re not alone. These are the exact moments we help with.
How we help
"When feeding, milestones, or daily routines feel harder than they should, it usually means your child's body is trying to tell you something. We help parents of babies and toddlers (ages 0–5) understand what that is. Then teach you simple, practical ways to support progress in everyday life, at home or school. So your child can thrive, and your family can spend less time worried and more time enjoying these early years."

I’m Kati, pediatric occupational therapist with 10 years of experience working in pediatrics and the founder of Thrive Pediatric Wellness. Early in my career, I worked with young children in sensory gyms, clinics and in-home. Then I became a mom and everything I knew got a lot more personal.
My first son struggled from the beginning to breastfeed, eat solids and gain weight. On top of that, so much of daily life came harder for him. He was easily overwhelmed by the world around him, had a tough time settling himself and was slow to hit some of his fine motor milestones. Even with all of my training, I felt there was not enough support for babies and their mothers in the early years, so I began taking classes and learning everything I could to help my son thrive.
Today he is a happy, thriving seven year old who has come so far with the work that we’ve done together. I started Thrive Pediatric Wellness so no parent has to feel as alone as I did and you can truly enjoy those early years with the right support beside you.
We have a dedicated team of therapist’s passionate about helping parents feel supported, informed, and confident as they navigate their child’s feeding, development and daily challenges. So your child/ren can thrive and your family can spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the early years.
Let us help you meet your child’s needs.
