If your little one is dealing with reflux, discomfort, fussiness, or feeding struggles, it's easy to be told to just "wait it out" or manage symptoms with medication - but reflux is a symptom, not a diagnosis, and there is always an underlying reason.

My approach looks beyond the surface to understand the why: assessment covers oral function, reflux symptoms, and feeding (both milk and food), because all of these can contribute to what shows up as "reflux." As an Occupational Therapist trained in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, infant and early childhood sleep quality, paediatric feeding and infant reflux, I can assess how these pieces fit together - which means we work to identify and address what's actually driving your child's reflux, rather than just treating discomfort as it appears.

Nineteen years of clinical practice also means I rarely work in isolation. Where it helps your child, I'm well placed to communicate with your GP, paediatrician or other providers and coordinate a multidisciplinary approach - so the people supporting your little one are working together, not in separate silos.

Assessment is carried out virtually (or if you are in Perth, head over to book an in-person appointment in my clinic), through pre-recorded videos and photos you'll send beforehand, alongside a detailed questionnaire, so I can thoroughly assess your child's presentation before we even speak. If you opt for a reflux package, you'll receive a detailed, customised written plan, along with ongoing support (including follow-up calls and text support) to help you implement it with confidence. If your child's reflux is tangled up with sleep difficulties too, we can look at this with a combined sleep and reflux package, since the two frequently go hand in hand.
