Holistic Support for
Childhood Apraxia of Speech

Holistic Health Practitioner
Documenting Hope Health Coach
NES Health Bioenergetics Practitioner
​​Hello and welcome! I'm Tori -- a mom of three boys, holistic health practitioner, health coach, and author of the blog Jake's Journey with Apraxia, & the book Voice of Truth.
By the time my son was three, he was diagnosed with apraxia of speech, eight food allergies, ear infections, severe eczema & mild asthma. At age four, I took him to an integrative MD.
After a strategic plan was put into place, his speech significantly improved within three months. One year later, he tested out of apraxia. Thanks to the right support for apraxia of speech, he was able to enter kindergarten being able to talk to his classmates & learn with ease.
​
Going through this experience inspired me to help other moms who are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, & heartbroken as they navigate childhood apraxia of speech. As a holistic health practitioner, I provide virtual health coaching & educational material to support moms dealing with apraxia of speech. I am not a medical doctor or speech-language pathologist (SLP).
Holistic health is the belief that the whole body works together, and is like a puzzle, where every piece -- from the body to the mind & spirit -- fits together. My approach focuses on finding & addressing the root cause of symptoms & making lifestyle changes in order to support a child's health & development. The holistic apraxia process is a great add-on supplement to speech therapy.​
