I’m not your every day lactation consultant and here’s why:
I’m not your everyday lactation consultant because with me, you’re not just getting breastfeeding support. My background as an occupational therapist in the NICU means I look at your baby’s whole body and yours, addressing things like muscle tightness, oral motor skills, and sensory processing alongside feeding guidance. This dual approach helps you and your little one feed more comfortably, reduces stress, and supports your baby’s overall development—giving you a smoother, more confident breastfeeding journey.
Expert Breastfeeding and Developmental Support —
No Matter Where You Are
Whole-body lactation and infant developmental guidance, delivered virtually, for the mama who deserves more than generic advice regardless of her zip code.
You shouldn’t have to live in Houston to have access to a NICU Occupational Therapist and Lactation Consultant who sees your whole baby, addresses the root cause of your feeding challenges, and stays with you through the fourth trimester. Now you don’t have to.
Through virtual support I bring the same integrated whole-body expertise that Houston families experience in their homes directly to your screen, wherever you are in the country. Real assessments. Real guidance. Real answers from someone who sees your baby, knows your history, and is genuinely invested in your outcome.
Not a chatbot. Not a generic telehealth platform. Me. Stephanie. Your dedicated Certified Neonatal OT and IBCLC, available to you virtually for the entire duration of your package.
Maybe you live in a city where lactation support is limited to a single one-off consultation and a handout. Maybe you’ve already seen every local provider available and none of them have been able to get to the root of what is happening. Maybe you found Lovely Littles Therapy at midnight during a difficult feed and you live three states away and you want to know if there is any way to access this level of support from where you are.
There is.
Virtual support with Lovely Littles Therapy is designed for the mama who is not in the Houston area but who deserves the same quality of integrated, whole-body, root-cause-focused breastfeeding and developmental guidance that in-home clients receive. Through live video sessions, I observe your baby's feeding mechanics, assess their movement patterns and body tension visually, guide you through positioning and latch adjustments in real time, demonstrate the exercises and techniques that support your baby's development and feeding between sessions, and stay with you through your entire package with the same sustained, relationship-based care that defines everything I do.
The one difference from in-home support is that my hands are not physically on your baby. But my eyes are. My expertise is. And for the vast majority of the challenges that bring mamas to Lovely Littles Therapy that expertise, applied consistently and comprehensively through a sustained virtual relationship, produces outcomes that no single local consultation could replicate.

All of it. From one person. In one visit. 💜
I believe in being completely transparent with the families I work with and that means being honest about what virtual support does not include.
My hands will not be physically on your baby. The hands-on bodywork, the tension release techniques, and the direct physical assessment that I deliver during in-home visits are not replicable through a screen. For babies with significant body tension, complex structural restrictions, or post-release integration needs that require hands-on intervention, virtual support works best as a complement to local hands-on care rather than a complete replacement for it.
What I will always do is help you identify whether your baby needs hands-on intervention, guide you toward the right type of local provider to seek out, and provide the surrounding support — the feeding guidance, the exercise demonstration, the developmental coaching, the sustained relationship and 24/7 access — that makes the local hands-on care more effective and more complete.
Virtual support is not a compromise. For the vast majority of the challenges that bring mamas to Lovely Littles Therapy, it is a genuinely powerful and comprehensive option. I simply want you to have the full picture so that you can make the decision that is right for your specific situation.
