Parent Love for Brave Wings Therapy
“I was struggling with bottle feeding my 35-week-old preemie twin girl and had tried what I thought was everything. After talking with some people, I decided to book an evaluation with a speech therapist, little did I know that this would be the final piece to our feeding struggles! After a tongue/lip tie release and continued Speech and OT therapy my little girl is gaining weight and happier than ever at 4 months old. Everyone from the front desk staff to the therapists are kind and great with children and parents. I am so happy we found Brave Wings and would recommend them to anyone.”
