  • Shari was great. I reached out to her and by the next day, I was able to meet with her. She provided a lot of information to help me advocate for my babies’ needs and is working with me to resolve feeding and colicky issues.

  • I highly recommend the baby/infant massage class! It is a wonderful way to connect with your baby while learning comforting techniques and helpful ways to treat gas and colic. Shari is a FANTASTIC teacher, I really like how easily she presents the information.

  • Shari has been truly life-changing for my baby girl! We sought her help when my daughter was 2 months old, as she was having a lot of body tension and breastfeeding difficulties that were still not resolved after speaking with 2 other professionals. I noticed improvements with her almost immediately after our first appointment with Shari, my only regret is not seeing her sooner! She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about care, and I love the holistic aspects, seeing and working with the body as a whole. She is so supportive of mom, baby, and even my toddler who tags along to appointments. Shari always gives great resources and home care specifically tailored to what is seen and discussed at appointments, and Your Tie Care Bestie is essential!! She is professional, compassionate, and easy to reach out to between appointments. I recommend Shari to all of my family and friends whenever I can, and look forward to continuing to see her in the future.

  • Shari has been a life saver! I wish I was educated on tongue ties and lip ties sooner. I came across Shari because my 2 month old had a side preference on nursing and would get super frustrated and stop nursing. She was also very gassy and clearly uncomfortable. Shari worked with me and my baby and checked her for a tongue and lip tie which she ended up having both! Before I could get an appointment to get it revised she taught me so much about body work and how it all affects baby’s feeding. With the stretches and techniques of full body massaging baby, working with her mouth, neck, head, nursing got better. I was able to nurse her on both sides and we worked on latching. After her lip and tongue revisions, I continued doing everything Shari taught me and I haven’t had problems since. This baby is my third and last so I thought I knew it all. It has been such an emotional experience and Shari saved our nursing bond. She is very nurturing, kind, and informative. She has a lot of knowledge and experience.
    The only thing I wish was done differently was the fact that I didn’t go to her sooner!

  • I wish I had “Your Baby’s Tie Care Bestie” with my last baby already. The release and the whole process would have been a lot smoother and the outcome better. Now on our second ties journey I benefited a lot from reading YBTCB. I especially love how holistically it is set up, pointing out how all aspects of care play an essential role in the outcome of the release, including the well-being of the main caretaker. It was so helpful to have a reminder to take care of myself, to not stress out under the circumstances and first and foremost connect with my baby.

  • 100% recommend! Finding Navigating Parenthood has transformed our family. I reached out to Shari because 3 years after having a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, my son was still having trouble breathing. I was new to the myofunctional world but took a chance and I’m so thankful I did. The evaluation process was very thorough and our program was/is tailored to his specific needs. We are now a few weeks in and the improvement in his breathing, and behavior is incredible! He is sleeping through the night, his tongue posture, mobility, and balance are improved, his mouth and jaw have also relaxed/“released”.

    I’m seeing less mouth breathing while awake and ZERO while asleep. His muscle tone has also improved- he is thriving! There’s also an added bonus: Because I do the work along side him, I’m seeing changes as well. My face and neck are lifting. I’m seeing less fine lines and firmer skin. The tension in my neck is gone , my jawline is more defined (goodbye turkey neck), my breathing and tongue posture are also the best I’ve experienced. I started out a skeptic but I’m writing this to say please take the chance. Shari is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, hands on, and has made a significant difference in my son’s health.

  • Shari has been helping treat my baby born with torticollis. It has been a somewhat long process and I wish I had started seeing her earlier. We started at 5 months but it would have been resolved sooner if we had started when he was a newborn. She is very gentle and playful with him and he seems to enjoy the sessions. I also enjoy them because I love talking with her. She has an amazing breadth of knowledge, so anything I bring up she has a lot of great advice and encouragement about. I always learn something new from her.

    I urge everyone with a newborn to have a craniosacral therapy session with Shari. Even if there is nothing “wrong”, birth is an inherently intense process. Why not help your little one release any tension stored in their body so that they may be as comfortable as possible. Comfortable equals a regulated nervous system, which equals better eating, sleeping, developing, better everything!

  • Shari, thank you so much for helping us and our LO! Even with the release of her tongue tie we knew she needed some more body work to relieve any tension and birth trauma she had left and Shari has been excellent with helping her out! Our LO is now going to the bathroom regularly, seems way more relaxed in general, and is just so happy!

    Thank you for answering all our questions and helping us navigate this part of parenthood 😉
