"I gave birth to my first baby in 2022, a beautiful baby girl, in a hospital setting. As a pediatric provider, I thought I knew everything about infant development and that breastfeeding would come naturally. Unfortunately, that was not the case. My baby held onto a lot of tension, had difficutly latching, and when she did latch it caused me extreme pain.
I’ve since dedicated my practice to understanding infant development from a more holistic approach while concurrently working toward a Certification in Lacation Counseling to better support our families.”
Dr. Erika takes a whole body treatment approach with training in advanced manual therapy bodywork techniques (including craniosacral fascial therapy - CFT), oral motor work, and developmental play. She specializes in treating infants who present with challenges related to latching & feeding, tension, torticollis, plagiocephaly, head turn preference, early motor milestones.
