Occupational therapist, feeding & swallowing specialist, certified lactation education counselor, Solid Starts
As an occupational therapist, Marisa holds advanced certification in feeding, eating, and swallowing. With a background in psychiatry and behavioral management, she is passionate about addressing the anxiety commonly felt with feeding—from postpartum breast- and bottle-feeding to complex family mealtime dynamics.

She enjoys cooking family meals with her dietitian husband, Josh, and relies heavily on her clean-up pup Charlie.
