Hello, I’m Erika Higginbottom. I’m an occupational therapist and I specialize in infant feeding, tongue ties, and precrawling infant development. I take a whole-body approach to feeding. I founded OT By Mommy after my difficult breastfeeding journey with my child. I wanted to provide resources, quality information, and concrete toys so no parent would have to feel as lost or isolated while feeding their baby as I did. Photo Credit: Michael Burchfiel

As a pediatric occupational therapy clinic, we focus on helping children develop the skills they need to grow into functional, independent adults. Physical impairment injuries and a host of other issues can hamper a child’s ability to perform common tasks or progress normally through the stages of social or cognitive development. Our clinic specializes in working with children ages birth to 21 in a variety of settings including, home, school and clinic based.

Hi my name is Jess. I have always known that my gift is to help others heal. Being a doula is a manifestation of that. Birth work is a direct response to the injustice and disparities experienced by BIPOC in the US. And we all have the power to change that narrative. ​​ I look forward to healing with you.

I’m a mom of two, a Nurse Practitioner, and a Certified Lactation Counselor. I love helping new parents navigate the struggles and joys of feeding their babies. My goal is always to provide support for whatever your feeding goals are.

Christine has walked the walk. When her twin boys were six months old, she and her husband hit a concrete wall of sleep deprivation and sought outside help. After failing to find a local sleep consultant, they set out to teach the boys how to sleep on their own. Ultimately, they were successful in teaching their boys healthy sleep habits but would have loved to have a guide on the journey. This struggle launched Christine’s sleep obsession and a passion to help families like her own. She completed the Family Sleep Institute’s child sleep consultant training program and Bella Luna Family was born! In the past 5+ years, she and her team have helped well over 1,000 families. She has also received a certification in child behavior coaching and she is a certified lactation counselor.
