Catherine Quintero

Hello! I am a dual certified speech-language pathologist (SLP), Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), owner of Lactation and Pediatric Oral Dysfunction Consultants, LLC and a mom. I utilize a unique blend of expertise in lactation and feeding/swallowing disorders to empower families while breastfeeding and navigating the progression to solid foods. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville and my Master’s degree from the University of Central Florida in Speech-Language Pathology. I have practiced in a number of settings including acute care, outpatient rehabilitation, and private practice. I have worked extensively with individuals across the lifespan including infants and toddlers, preschoolers, and adults. I specialize in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders.
Zanna Mabe B.S., R.N, CBS
Hello! I am a Registered Nurse (RN) and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS). I obtained my bachelor’s degree in nursing from Indiana Wesleyan University. In my last year of nursing school, I spent 3 months studying abroad in Africa working with children, pregnant/postpartum moms, and infants. My love of caring for children led me to practice in pediatric home health the past 2 years. I am currently working toward my IBCLC credential and board certification. I look forward to providing you with holistic, evidence based care tailored to your needs. I am eager to walk alongside you and encourage you in your breastfeeding journey!
​​
At Lactation and Pediatric Oral Dysfunction Consultants, LLC, we take a holistic, evidence-based approach to supporting infants and families through every stage of feeding and communication development.
​
We believe that the health and well-being of both parent and child are essential to a successful feeding journey and a strong foundation for speech and language. Whether addressing challenges related to breastfeeding, oral function, or communication, our care is rooted in gentle, family-centered support and guided by clinical expertise.
​
Our continuity of care model allows families to receive comprehensive support—from the earliest days of feeding to the milestones of speech and language development—helping parents feel confident and empowered as their children grow, thrive, and find their voice.
