TOTS Training® Directory

I have practiced in the area of pediatrics for the past 36 years both in inpatient and outpatient settings. My love is working with infants and children with feeding and developmental challenges. I utilize approaches and interventions such as CST, MFR, Beckman, and SOS. I am part of a dynamic team of OTs, PTs, and SLPs that have a passion for helping children and families.

Kimberly Wand is an infant feeding therapist, mama, and the owner of Feeding Tiny Tots. She began her career as a speech-language pathologist over 10 years ago and has worked in a variety of settings, including the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Throughout her career she has developed a passion for educating families and making sure they feel supported throughout their feeding journey. After having her own baby, she realized how difficult it can be to find professionals who look at the whole picture, which led her to opening Feeding Tiny Tots.


Feeding Tiny Tots provides in home evaluations and therapy for infants and their families demonstrating feeding challenges. Their mission is to educate and support families through a holistic approach and developmentally supportive care.

My goal is to work with children and their families to determine the root cause, such as an underlying structural issue, that may be impacting various areas of functioning (e.g., speech, oral rest posture, swallowing, breathing, sleeping) and collaborate using a team approach to address the root issue and improve the affected areas of functioning!
