Hi, I’m Emily!

I’m a mom, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, and someone who deeply understands the challenges when your baby or child isn’t comfortable in their little body.

After years of working with babies, pediatric patients, and their families as a PT, my passion for helping babies and children grew with my own motherhood journey. I experienced firsthand what it feels like to have questions, countless worries, and a deep desire to make things “better” for your little one. That experience inspired me to specialize in gentle, hands-on approaches that support infants and young children in feeling calm, connected, and free to move and feed comfortably.

From the outside, feeding, sleeping, and movement all seem so natural— but for many little ones it’s not that simple. When infants and children struggle with body tension, difficulty feeding, or just don’t seem at ease, it can affect everything— your baby’s comfort, your confidence (I’ve been there!), and your family’s rhythm.

At Be Still Wellness LLC, I combine my years of providing pediatric physical therapy with craniosacral therapy and lactation support to guide families toward comfort, mobility, and connection—helping babies and children thrive and parents feel empowered!

Book a session

Every session is centered around hands-on therapeutic techniques, compassion, education, and partnership based on you and your little one’s individual needs. My mission is to create a space where both you and your child can exhale, feel seen, improve mobility, and find stillness.

Pediatric Physical Therapy

As a PT, I assess your baby or child’s flexibility, strength, muscle tone/posture, and movement milestones. The way your little one moves can tell us so much about what may be going on in their tiny body. I will tailor our therapy sessions to your child’s personalized needs and I will teach you how to support your little one’s movement and flexibility with customized home programs. I work with:

  • Muscle restrictions

  • Tension of fascia

  • Muscle strength imbalances

  • Tongue/oral ties (before and after oral releases)

  • Developmental milestones & gross motor skills

  • Decreased balance and coordination

  • Torticollis (head turn preference)

  • Head shape asymmetry

  • Infants that have spent time in a NICU, & more

    If you have questions, contact me!

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a very gentle form of therapeutic bodywork, where I provide extremely gentle touch to areas of your infant or child’s body to release tension of the fascia and to support nervous system regulation. I have traveled across the country to learn CST from world renown CST practitioners, and I am so passionate about making this therapy accessible to infants and families who need it.

CST can help with:

  • Releasing tension related to your baby’s birth

  • Mobility/ease of movement

  • Muscle tension & discomfort

  • Feeding difficulties & tongue/oral ties

  • Digestion & reflux

  • Colic & uncomfortable infants

  • Sleep challenges

  • Nervous system regulation & stress

  • Postpartum recovery, & much more

Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS)

As a CBS, I provide gentle, evidence-based support to families as they navigate their feeding journey. Whether you’re working through latch challenges, discomfort, or milk supply concerns, my goal is to help both you and your baby feel calm, confident, and connected. With hands-on guidance and compassion, I walk alongside you to make feeding a more comfortable and nurturing experience. We are stronger together, and I collaborate/refer to lactation consultants and other healthcare professionals when needed.
