Bio
Desiree Ross is a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC) with more than 10 years of experience supporting children and families through feeding, lactation, speech, and early communication development.
Throughout her career, Desiree has seen how overwhelming it can feel when a parent has questions about their baby's feeding or their child's communication development. Families don't just need information—they need someone who listens, understands their concerns, and provides practical guidance that fits their child and their everyday life.
That belief led Desiree to create The Nurturing Room: a more thoughtful, personalized approach to supporting families during some of the most important early stages of development.
