Meet Shaina

M.S. CCC-SLP, CLC
Owner, Therapist

Hi there! I'm a passionate speech-language pathologist, lactation and feeding specialist, and orofacial myologist in the greater Pittsburgh area.  After receiving my masters of science in 2017, I pursued additional training in orofacial myology, pediatric feeding therapy, tethered oral tissues, lactation counseling, 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!  

OUR VALUES

​

We value a holistic, team approach, where the client and other professionals serve in key roles to reach tangible results and feel better.

 

We believe in using a holistic approach to support families in treating the root cause.

 

We believe that you deserve to THRIVE, not just survive.
