Helping babies and children to feed, talk, grow, and THRIVE
Welcome to Nuzzle & Nurture!
I'm Emillee, MA, CCC-SLP, CBS--ASHA certified Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist, specializing in infant feeding therapy. I founded Nuzzle & Nurture in 2025 to give families across Minnesota a dedicated space to get answers, support, and real results when feeding isn't going as planned.
Whether your baby is struggling with breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or transitioning to solids, I bring both clinical expertise and compassion to every session. You are not alone!
I have extensive experience in infant feeding including neonatal feeding development, feeding in the neonatal intensive care unit, Infant Driven Feeding (cue based feedings), failure to thrive, reflux, oral motor assessment and development, assessment and management of swallowing dysfunctions (aspiration), oral aversion, weaning of thickened liquids, bottle feeding strategies, breastfeeding strategies, and overall feeding support for families. I am trained in the following: Infant Driven Feeding Program (IDF), SOS Approach to Feeding, Flourish Neonatal Therapy, Supporting Oral Feeding In Fragile Infants (SOFFI), Bottle Refusal in the Breastfed Infant, Feeding Tiny Humans: Strategies for “Typical” to Troubled Premature & Medically Complex Babies, and LER’s Lactation Consultant Training Program.
Beyond feeding therapy, I also offer speech and language services for children. Communication milestones matter just as much as mealtimes ones! From first words to building sentences, I'm here to support your child's development every step of the way!
Nuzzle & Nurture serves patients via private clinic visits in Rogers, MN or in home visits in the Northwest Metro area including Maple Grove, Rogers, Dayton, Plymouth, Champlin, and MORE, or virtually from anywhere within the state of Minnesota!

FEES & INVESTMENT:

Out-of-Network Reimbursement:
While we do not bill insurance directly, a superbill can be provided upon request to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We recommend calling your insurance company to ask about your out-of-network speech therapy or feeding therapy benefits .
Payment:
We accept all major credit cards. We also accept HSA or FSA cards as a form of payment as speech-language and feeding therapy services are typically eligible for payment through HSA/FSA.
