Welcome to my website where I share my passion for neonatal/pediatric swallowing and feeding and lifelong learning. Whether you are looking for a solid foundation in neonatal/pediatric swallowing and feeding, or for advanced clinical learning opportunities, my seminars have been designed with you in mind.

What a joy and a blessing it has been to learn along with you all these years. Joined by Rehab professionals from across the US and as far away as  Spain, Japan, Switzerland, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Germany, the UK, Canada, Dubai, and New Zealand…

                           2026 will be my last year of teaching….

As an international educator, presenter and consultant, my goal is to provide you with learning that informs your practice, and meaningful memorable interactions with highly respected instructors who are leaders in the field regarding challenging patients and professional practice issues.

Our discussions will include critical thinking for all our patients, no matter the age or co-morbidities. It’s not just learning “what to do” clinically but the weaving in of compassionate family-centered care, which must go hand in hand with the clinical expertise we bring. Because every feeding experience matters.

Visit my website often to hear about current research that impacts our delivery of care, state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment approaches, problem-solving complex patients from neonates to school-aged children, and to learn about my publications. Support for your lifelong journey is right here.

I look forward to learning along with you

Catherine
