compass feeding

Throughout my career, I have been focusing my skills in the areas of pediatric feeding, swallowing, and lactation.  As a certified expert in these areas, I am here to help you and your child with challenges due to prematurity, transitioning to solid foods, food allergies or intolerances, feeding concerns due to reflux, failure to thrive, tongue tie (TOTs), breastfeeding and lactation, and so much more!

Your Child's Feeding Needs Are My Area of Specialty

 

I am a Speech-Language Pathologist by trade specializing in pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.

 

I am also a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), and I provide clinical breastfeeding counseling and management support to families who are thinking about breastfeeding or who have questions or problems during the course of the breastfeeding/lactation process.

 

As an Infant Feeding Educator  I can provide services globally to families struggling to offer solid foods to their babies.

Marie helped my son so much!!! I am forever grateful to her. When we first began working with her, our son - only 10 months would eat very little solid food and it had to be crunchy. He would basically only eat veggie straws. By the time he turned two, he's eat just about anything. And, now, we still use strategies as needed but he is doing great! Eats broccoli, bell peppers, meats, fruits, etc!!! FOREVER thankful for you Miss Marie!!!

Marie is a fantastic resource and has been extremely helpful! My daughter was diagnosed with reflux at 2 months old and Marie provided much needed support as our daughter grew and began transitioning to bottles, then to solid foods and beyond. Marie was instrumental in helping us recognize that our daughter's reflux was possibly misdiagnosed and was in fact a dairy sensitivity. Marie has continually provided advice and suggestions to help our daughter but also keep us sane! Thank you Marie!!!

I worked with Marie in Feeding Therapy Clinic and along side of her with many patients at Colorado Children’s Outpatient Clinic. I am a dietitian and I would 110% recommend her for my clients to see. I even resort to her for when I have questions about my infant age son’s feeding! She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, understanding, evidence based, and always up to date on the leading research and technique within her scope of practice. If you are looking for a feeding therapist or lactation consultant for your family, Marie is the top choice!
