Welcome to Eat Play Love.

​

The struggle of feeding littles is real and more common than you might think. 

​

I am dedicated to helping you work through challenges and find joy in nourishing and nurturing your child for life.

​

Eat Play Love is a pediatric occupational therapy practice specializing in treatment of feeding and swallowing challenges from breast or bottle feeding to semi-solids to table foods. I currently offer in-office feeding therapy in Lake Forest, CA  and in-home services across Orange County with the option for telehealth across the state of California.

​

If you have concerns about your child's breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, eating solids, gross motor, or sensory development, please reach out with questions or set up a call with me to see if your child may benefit from OT/feeding support.

FAQ's

Do you have a question that is not included here?

Brittany comes highly recommended!! We reached out to Brittany when our baby girl was 3 months old and experiencing bottle / oral aversion and overall feeding issues. It was one of the toughest times for us as we felt helpless and lost as first time parents.

Brittany came, assessed our baby girl, and patiently helped us regain our little ones trust while giving us practical advice on how to make progress with her oral inefficiencies. Brittany guided us through all our questions and helped us even transition to solids.

Brittany was so good with our highly sensitive and cautious baby and with each short session was able to make incremental progress. Our baby girl is now 7 months old and thriving!! She’s now able to drink from a straw and loves to eat. We are so grateful to for her knowledge, kindness and hands on approach. We truly can’t thank her enough!
