Kori has experience working in pediatric home health/early intervention, public schools, a Montessori school, and has even done speech therapy on horseback! However, her passion for infant and toddler feeding therapy was ignited when her children were born in 2019 and 2020 with tethered oral tissues. Since then, she has been on a mission to educate herself and help others achieve joy on their feeding journeys.


She has completed specialty continuing education, including: TOTS: Tethered Oral Tissues Specialty Training; Feed the Peds: The Foundations of Pediatric Feeding and Swallowing; Beckman Oral Motor Assessment & Intervention; TalkTools Sensory Motor Approach to Feeding; TalkTools Functional Assessment and Remediation of Tethered Oral Tissues; and A Professional's Guide to Tongue Tie in the Breastfeeding Infant. Her goal for 2022 is to pursue certification as a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS).

Kresta Wilson, M.S. CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist and private practice owner in Lexington, KY. She earned her Master of Science degree in communication disorders from the University of Kentucky in 2005. Kresta has experience in early intervention as well as in private practice specializing in language and feeding disorders.

I am a speech-language pathologist and myofunctional therapist with a special interest and expertise in treating orofacial myofunctional disorders. 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!

Dr. Kristen Berning provides treatment for tethered oral tissues. She uses a LightScalpel CO2 laser to perform lip and tongue tie releases, including posterior tongue ties and buccal ties. She treats infants, children, teens and adults. Many patients travel from Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin to her office. She has taken courses from Dr. Bobby Ghaheri, Dr. Soroush Zaghi, Dr. Richard Baxter, Dr. Larry Kotlow, Dr. Alison Hazelbaker, & Autumn Henning. She works with many other professionals (IBCLC, SLP, OMT, OT, PT, chiropractors, CST, etc.) to coordinate exceptional care for her patients.

Hello! I'm Kristen, a Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and pediatric Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 10 years of experience in hospitals, NICUs, community programs, early intervention, feeding therapy, WIC, and private practice. I currently spend time working in feeding/nutrition therapy for kiddos birth through 3 years old, then see clients for lactation education & support through my private practice, The Lactation Mentor. I am available for virtual visits anywhere and locally for home visits in southcentral and southeastern Pennsylvania.

I have a strong clinical background and practice evidence-based care, but in a way that prioritizes your family’s unique needs. As a dietitian, I have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside families through every possible feeding scenario, and I believe this has shaped how I practice as a lactation consultant. I know and deeply believe that every feeding journey is unique, and there is no wrong way to feed your baby if you are given the tools and information to make informed decisions that work for your family.

I have been a registered nurse for 15 years and a lactation consultant for 10. I am the Birth Coordinator and Lactation Consultant at OMC. I also have my own private practice to where I can do home visits. I also offer night nursing if interested.
