How It Works

1

Contact Us

Reach out via phone, email or the contact form. Your pediatrician can also fax us a referral. We will reach out to you, get additional information, verify your insurance benefits, and schedule an initial evaluation.

2

Evaluation

An initial evaluation will take place at our clinic. You will receive guidance and education on things to do at home and we will determine if ongoing treatment sessions are needed.

3

Treatment

If we determine that ongoing treatment is needed, we will work together to make goals for your child. Most children require weekly or every-other-week therapy sessions. We will work hard until your child's skills are functional and they are ready for discharge!

ABOUT

​


PEDIATRICS

Hi! I am so glad you are here. My name is Kelsey Norris, M.A., CCC-SLP, CLC and I am the owner of Nourish Pediatrics. I received my BA from the University of Northern Iowa and my MA from the University of Iowa. After several years of experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist, I also trained to become a Certified Lactation Counselor. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, Certified Lactation Counselor, and parent of two toddlers, I view pediatric feeding, lactation, and communication through a unique lens. I know all too well how difficult it can be to breastfeed your baby, get your toddler to try new foods, or watch your child struggle to communicate. My expertise means that I get to walk alongside your family and problem-solve some of the most complex feeding and speech situations. My services are family-centered, trauma-informed, and always in line with the most up to date evidence. I specialize in lactation, bottle-feeding, tethered oral tissues, picky eating, feeding for medically complex children, and speech and language delays including articulation, expressive and receptive language, and childhood apraxia of speech.

​

My ultimate goal is to provide individualized services to help all families reach their feeding and communication goals, so kids and families can thrive.
