About Little Blessings

Do you have a sweet little blessing in your life? Children truly are a blessing which often leads parents to worry when expectations are not met in relation to developmental milestones and oral feeding. Little Blessings was developed out of the heart of a mom and occupational therapist who is passionate about helping children reach their highest level of function from early newborn feeding to childhood activities of daily living. While treatment strategies are focused on the individual needs of each child, Little Blessings places a heavy emphasis on caregiver training to ensure families are equipped with the knowledge and tools they need to achieve the goals set for their child.

Testimonials

“We often call Megan our son’s first friend, as she was the person who truly taught him to eat as a preemie in the NICU, and maybe even more importantly taught us how we could help him develop more in that area. She is the first person I would go to when we came upon any eating challenges with him, even into the 2nd year of his life, and she has always been so willing to troubleshoot with me. She is so knowledgeable, while being humble enough do more research if needed before giving you information. She has both the wisdom from her degree and certifications, and the wisdom from being a momma herself, which I find so reassuring. Last but certainly not least, it is so abundantly clear that she truly cares about your baby and you the parent. She wants the best quality of life for both of you and does everything in her power to assist you in getting to that point.” - Ashley F.

“As a first time mom the amount of information you’re bombarded with is overwhelming, to say the least. With her education and personal experience as a parent, working with Megan made my transition significantly less stressful. She answered all my questions with kindness, helping me set achievable goals and reasonable routines for my household. Every stage your child goes through brings new challenges and a lot to learn. I cannot imagine what I would do without her help!” - LeAnn D.
