A holistic, whole body approach to optimize function as it relates to feeding, breathing, and overall health

MEET SHAINA

Shaina Rafkin M.S. CCC-SLP, CLC
Speech Language Pathologist, Owner

Hi there! I'm a speech-language pathologist passionate about optimizing oral function across the life span.  After receiving my masters of science in 2017, I pursued additional training in orofacial myology, pediatric feeding therapy, tethered oral tissues, lactation counseling, reflex integration, and craniosacral fascial therapy. This unique knowledge and skill set influences how I assess and treat my clients. It allows me to use a holistic and interdisciplinary approach while searching for the root cause of the issue.  I commonly collaborate with other professionals, such as ENT doctors, dentists, orthodontists, bodywork providers and other therapists . Recognizing the importance of optimal function in the orofacial complex and how it relates to speech, feeding, and breathing has led me on a mission to improve the overall health and wellbeing of as many people as I can help!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Shaina is amazing and helped my son so much with several issues that needed addressed. He went for example from breathing with his mouth open 100% of the time to breathing through his nose most of the time in just a couple months thanks to her. She helped lay the foundation for healthy development and achieving milestones that he is doing now. I feel so supported by her and only wish I knew about her with my first son. Every baby should have this kind of support. Highly recommend taking yours to see her.
