About
I’m Kellie, a lactation consultant (IBCLC) and infant feeding specialist (SLP)
My Journey and Mission
As a wife, mother, and educator, my experiences deeply inform the support I provide to parents and children. My primary goal as a speech-language pathologist and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) is to ensure babies have the best start in oral feeding and speech development. At Green Living and Wellness, my mission is to provide you—the parent—with essential support and guidance for breastfeeding, from birth and beyond.
Educational Background and Experience
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Speech and Hearing Science from The Ohio State University and a master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Cincinnati. With 17 years of experience in pediatric therapy and a decade leading my practice, Premier Speech, I’ve gained profound insights into the critical importance of early intervention in a child’s life, from birth to age three. This led me to further specialize by becoming an IBCLC and gaining expertise in tethered oral tissues, as well as assessing and treating feeding and communication disorders, including pre- and post-revision therapy.
