Elizabeth Rogers, M.S., CCC-SLP
Speech Language Pathologist
Certified Lactation Counselor
I am passionate about helping patients and their families meet their best potential by working as a collaborative team. Becoming a first time mother to preemie twins that spent 18 days in the NICU changed my perspective and experience and sparked my interest in breastfeeding and supporting new moms during this transitionary period of life.
In addition to my professional expertise, I have personal experience with preemies, multiples, tandem breastfeeding, baby sign language, reflux, tongue/lip tie, food sensitivities and allergies, FPIES, ear tubes, and mild-moderate conductive hearing loss.
Our family made a cross country move recently in order to discover more opportunities for growth, contribute to our community, and pursue our love of the outdoor culture.
