Client Testimonials

“Having Stacy by my side through different stages of my baby’s development was so valuable. When my daughter was really young (1 month) she really struggled with latching issues and choking on any bottle we offered her. I was able to do consultations with Stacy and she gave me so many tips and tricks for latching and bottles (positions, nipple sizes, bottles, etc). All of these tips gave me the confidence to continue with breastmilk even when doctors had me wanting to give up! My baby is now 9 months still on breastmilk, choking is long gone, her motor skills and eating is terrific!

When it was time to transition to solids Stacy was able to help me get going with the knowledge and advice to do the baby-led weaning approach. It is scary to do these new things on your own and so having someone with the knowledge and experience to walk me through these hard mom moments has been so amazing!”

“Stacy is AMAZING! She has been working with my ex-micro preemie for OT and feeding for over a year now and I know that we would not be in the place we are without her. She has helped us develop his fine motor skills with tons of creative ideas that keep him engaged and focused. All of the products that she recommends are excellent and useful in the continual progress that we have achieved. When we started focusing on feeding and transitioning to solids I thought it would be a difficult process because babies like mine tend to have some degree of oral aversions after being intubated for so long but Stacy encouraged me to do what felt right. With her help we transitioned to solids without any problems and now my little guy eats anything and everything. She is patient, accommodating, friendly and always willing to answer my questions.”

Stacy Viray, OTR/L, CLC

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and certified lactation counselor.  It has truly been the most rewarding experience helping families as an occupational therapist & feeding specialist the last 12 years. In more recent years, my focus has been with infant feeding and development. I love it so much, I started my own practice to better serve the community! Throughout my career, I have also worked in outpatient pediatric clinics, early intervention, and school-based settings treating children from ages 0-21 years.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Child and Adolescent Studies from California State University of Fullerton (2007) and my Master of Occupational Therapy from Loma Linda University (2012). My areas of expertise are early intervention (ages 0-3), oral motor/feeding therapy, fine motor delay, visual motor delay, self-care skills, & sensory processing difficulties.  

My goal is to provide supportive, rewarding, family-centered therapeutic services to help children reach their full potential.

During my spare time, I enjoy reading, dancing, karaoke, being a dance & basketball mom, & going to Disneyland or the beach with my husband Jason and our daughters, Solana & Karis, and son, Levi.
