OUR MISSION, VISION & CORE VALUES
MISSION:
​
We transform the lives of families and therapists through wellness-centered speech, feeding, myofunctional, occupational therapy, and lactation support. With compassionate care and collaborative resources, we help families thrive and providers feel fulfilled and supported.
​
VISION:
​
At Eats and Speaks, we envision a world where every child and family feels seen, supported, and empowered through wellness and communication. We believe that a joyful, healthy life is built on strong relationships—and that begins with the ability to connect and thrive. We are equally committed to supporting the therapists who make this possible. By fostering meaningful, fun, balanced practices, we help providers care deeply for their clients while also nurturing their own well-being and families. Through trusted local clinics and a vibrant online community, we’re creating lasting change—one therapist, one family, and one heartfelt connection at a time.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING...
We have had a wonderful experience at Eats + Speaks. Emily helped get to the root causes of some of our 4-year-old’s feeding and speech problems. He continues to progress every day and his confidence has grown so much. He has now worked with both Emily and Maggie. They both do such a great job of making sessions fun and helping him grow!

~ Amber, Eats + Speaks Parent
Megan always has a smile on her face and really knows how to patiently engage with our son when he gets distracted or doesn’t want to try something new. She always finds a way to get through to him and has taken special care to find his strengths, which we appreciate so much!
