Our Team
Hi, I’m Brookes!
I am the founder of Sprouting Pediatrics and a licensed pediatric Occupational Therapist (OT) and Feeding Specialist. I’ve been working as a pediatric OT since 2011 and am passionate about supporting children and families through their feeding journey. My experience working in schools, in the community, with families in their homes and my own personal experience has helped me understand the complexities of feeding and the impact it can have on daily family life. Eating is a constant in everyday life and can be stressful if it doesn’t go as planned. Through compassionate support and evidence based practice, my goal is to help families connect and rediscover enjoyable mealtimes.
​
I continue to pursue my passion for helping others through ongoing learning and skill development. This allows for continuous self-growth and provides the most up to date and evidence based care for families.
My other passions extend to making memories with my family. In my spare time, you can find me with my husband and two daughters, enjoying the outdoors and exploring the mountains.
Please reach out if you have any questions or are wondering if OT can help. I can’t wait to hear from you!
