NEOPEDIATRIC SPEECH THERAPIST
During my professional career, since 2003 I have had the magnificent opportunity to work with babies, feeding and breastfeeding, being an active speech therapist in consultations, and coordinator of the Neo Pediatric internship in São Paulo.
I have a postgraduate degree in Public Health from PUC-SP University. In Europe, I worked with children from 0 to 12 years old in clinics and hospitals, and for 11 years I was very close to the children and the development teams, managing my first clinic in Portugal. I was able to manage the teams and create great bonds with the families.
However, after the birth of my children, I felt the need to focus my knowledge even more on babies and deepened my studies in the area of breastfeeding and neonatology. I am a speech therapist specializing in neonatology, orofacial motor skills and lactation consultant. Over the last 10 years, I’ve focused my experience on helping families with breastfeeding difficulties, rehabilitating oral-facial motor skills, feeding selectivity and post-surgical rehabilitation of tongue-ties in babies up to 2 years old.
I have been a trainer and lecturer for 9 years, bringing the importance of assessment and rehabilitation of facial oral motor skills to colleagues who are nurses, doctors, teachers, physiotherapists and others who provide early childhood support services.
My training as an Infant Massage Instructor, Naturopathy, Certification from the Babyoga Portugal School and my career as a Yoga teacher for pregnant women have enabled me to take a comprehensive look at babies and families, valuing relationships and focusing on solutions and the connection between mother and baby.
Passionate about life, nature and the magic of newborns, I am always deepening my knowledge and putting all my love and scrutiny into practice, not only for the baby but also for the family.
