Planting Seeds Body and Birth

Last night was the final class of our latest Birth & Beyond class series! 🤍

We have had such a wonderful year with these classes, and we are so grateful to everyone who has participated along the way. It has been so much fun learning, practicing, connecting, and preparing for birth and beyond together!

We’re excited to continue offering Birth & Beyond, along with new classes and opportunities for expecting parents in the coming year.

Our next Birth & Beyond series will begin in February 2027! If you’re an expecting mama preparing for a new baby in the new year and would like to join us, we would love to have you! 🌿

We’re so excited to walk alongside you and help you feel prepared, confident, and supported on your journey into birth and parenthood. 💛

Stay tuned for more details about our upcoming classes!

So excited to get to start working with this amazing lady! 💕 She has such a heart for helping moms and their babies navigate feeding and other functional skills, and she is truly amazing at what she does.

I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with her and provide even more support for the mamas and babies we serve. I can’t wait to see all the good that comes from working together! 🌱

Hello, I'm Ashley and I am the owner of Root and Rise Pediatric Therapy. I’m a pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for helping babies and young children find ease in feeding, connection, and development.

I have experience in the NICU and with medically complex children. I have also pursued additional training as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, feeding and tethered oral tissues (tongue and lip ties) specialist, and craniosacral therapy/ cranialsacral fascial therapy, allowing me to take a more comprehensive and nuanced approach to care. Rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, I look at the whole child—considering oral function, sensory systems, motor development, and the parent-child relationship.

My work centers around the earliest stages of life, where feeding challenges, oral function, and nervous system regulation can shape the trajectory of a child’s well-being. I take a gentle, holistic approach—one that honors the body’s biology and the importance of connection between parent and child. Therapy with me is not rushed or one-size-fits-all. It is thoughtful, individualized, and grounded in both science and experience.

My goal is not only to support your child, but to support you—so you feel confident, capable, and deeply connected in your parenting journey.

So happy to contribute to this! 💚 what a beautiful gift for one blessed mama!
