Hi, I’m Jeannie Nelson, mom of three, a forever learner and super passionate about helping others. I’m an Arizona Native, who graduated from ASU with my degree in Speech and Hearing Sciences, and my M.S. from NAU in Clinical Speech-Language Pathology. I spent a short time in Chicago after grad school, but came back to Arizona to marry the love of my life.
I’m a mom of three fantastic tiny humans who are my everything! I’ve always been passionate about speech-language, but since having my children this passion has grown. I now have not only the education and experience; I have the mama brain and heart. When my middle child couldn’t breastfeed or gain weight, we discovered she had Tethered Oral Tissues (TOTs) including lip and tongue ties. This took me in a deep dive on how to help her and brought me to the field of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy.
Now I specialize in speech sound disorders (especially those kids who are super hard to understand, and that tricky /r/ sound), feeding therapy (toddlers are my fave), and myofunctional therapy for ages 4 and up! I’ve found a new love working with adults, as I’ve found many issues with myself as I’ve learned this specialty field. Currently on my own healing journey, so I’m super invested personally and professionally. Looking forward to helping you be your BEST!
