Three Ways Emily Can Help Your little one Thrive
1. pediatric Physical Therapy
Is your baby showing a head turn preference? Struggling with tummy time? Is your little one not hitting milestones on schedule? Infant and pediatric PT helps babies and children move more freely, build strength symmetrically, and feel more comfortable in their bodies. Emily assesses your little one's flexibility, muscle tone, posture, and movement, then creates a hands-on treatment plan and teaches you the exercises to continue at home.
Commonly helps with: torticollis, flat head/plagiocephaly, tummy time struggles, developmental milestones, tongue tie support, and NICU graduate care.
2. Craniosacral Therapy for infants & toddlers (and moms)
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is an extremely gentle form of therapeutic bodywork that helps release tension held in the soft tissues and nervous system. Using no more pressure than the weight of a nickel, Emily works with your baby or child to ease restrictions that may be causing discomfort, feeding challenges, sleep struggles, movement difficulties, colic, or reflux. CST is also available for postpartum moms and for mom and baby together, skin-to-skin.
Commonly helps with: birth tension, colic, reflux, sleep challenges, feeding difficulties, mobility restrictions, nervous system regulation, and postpartum recovery.
3. Lactation and Breastfeeding Support
Feeding your baby should feel connected and calm, but for many families, it does not come easily. As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, Emily provides gentle, evidence-based support for latch challenges, feeding discomfort, milk supply concerns, and tongue-tie support. Emily takes a whole-body approach, addressing both baby's tension and mom's comfort, and collaborates with lactation consultants and other providers when additional care is needed.
Commonly helps with: latch difficulties, tongue tie support before and after release, breastfeeding pain, feeding positions, and milk supply guidance.

You Are Not Alone in This Journey
I created Be Still Wellness LLC out of a deep passion to support infants, young children, and their families during some of the most tender, challenging moments of early life. As a mom myself, I know how overwhelming it can feel when your baby struggles to feed, rest, or find comfort.
My mission is to create a space where both you and your little one can exhale, feel seen, and find stillness. I bring my background as a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist together with specialized training in Craniosacral Therapy and infant massage to help little ones move, feed, and grow with greater ease, and to help parents feel supported and confident along the way.
Be Still Wellness LLC combines private services that are rare to find in the Greater Dayton area, offering infant and pediatric physical therapy, craniosacral therapy, and lactation support under one roof, or rather, yours.
