Welcome to our Speech, Myo, and Lactation Clinic! Our team includes Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) and a Lactation Counsellor—all here to support you and your family, from infants to adults. Myofunctional Therapy – We help clients of all ages, from infants and toddlers through children and adults, with direct therapy and home practice. Infant Feeding & Lactation Support – Every baby and feeding journey is unique. We offer judgment-free, personalized guidance. Prenatally, Sarah helps families prepare for breastfeeding and pumping with confidence. Postpartum, Sarah and Karrie support feeding challenges, milk supply, latch, positioning, mixed feeding, flange fitting, pumping, oral function, suck training, and frenectomy-related care. Together, they create a safe, compassionate space where your questions are heard, your choices are respected, and your child’s or baby’s needs come first. All initial lactation appointments are scheduled with Sarah. Follow up appointments will be scheduled with Sarah or Karrie as indicated to support the care plan.

Insurance – We do not direct bill. Clients are responsible for confirming coverage. SLP services may be reimbursed under speech therapy benefits. Lactation counselling may be reimbursed through your health spending account.
