Testimonials

  • Hannah from evolve was so amazing evaluating my son. I am also a therapist so I have to say I am VERY picky when it comes to someone else treating a family member of mine. I had some speech concerns after my son had ear surgery and a long history of ear infections. Hannah not only gave me piece of mind but came up with a 3 month plan with me & provided exercises to continue doing. I not only feel like the session we had went amazing but i felt like I had ongoing support. Highly recommend!!

  • Having just had a baby I found myself overwhelmed with love, emotion, excitement but also - so much worry! My baby was born with a severe tongue tie and had a very difficult time latching at ALL in the hospital. When we got home and didn't have constant help from nurses and staff, it became even worse. Our baby lost weight and I was worried sick. Hannah, my lactation consultant was EVERYTHING to me during this time. She calmed my nerves, taught me new nursing positions, and strategies, and she reassured me that the baby was getting enough milk. Hannah was a lifeline during a time when my stress level and hormones were off the chart. I would recommend Hannah and this company to everybody who is interested in breastfeeding their baby. This was my second baby, my first had no issues breastfeeding so I had all of the confidence in the world - until I had none. That's when I needed help and Hannah provided me with all of the information, assistance and support that I could've asked for. I am forever grateful to her and that I found Evolve Therapy! - Barbara R

  • Hannah was just the Speech Therapist we needed to help my 11 month old with her feeding difficulties. She came to our house, was respectful, professional, and instantly made me feel at ease. Hannah was able to help my child with eating solids and new textures. Mealtimes are so much better now and less stressful! I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone.

  • My daughter is now age 12. Lindsay started working with her when she was 1+ I believe. She’s so incredible with kids. I cannot recommend her enough. As important she’s terrific with parents too. We were fortunate to find her. She was our gem discovery from WMC - Maria Fererra Children’s Hospital. My daughter needed a G tube shortly after birth and spent her youngest years with minimal oral eating. Lindsay literally taught her to eat and appreciate food. If you have a child with challenges and have had frustration with finding various healthcare givers and you need SLP support Lindsay is a welcome breath of fresh air.

  • I have been fortunate enough to work with Hannah and Lindsay in multiple capacities and settings and could not possibly capture how incredible they are— but I’ll try! I have the privilege of calling them both mentors and colleagues, and have the unique ability to know them clinically and personally. They are experts and leaders in our field, and their passion for what they do shines through in their approach to families and in the quality of services they deliver! In regards to patient care, their skill level is unmatched. Their cumulative years of experience and dedication to lifelong learning so that they can practice with the most up to date evidence is exactly what anyone would want in a provider. What sets them apart, however, is their warm and comforting approach that can’t be taught in a clinical environment. I’ve cotreated patients with them both and have never seen families so put at ease during an often stressful time in their life! In regards to their mentorship skills, I cannot emphasize how much my own practice has been shaped and molded by their natural ability to teach and share their knowledge. They are generous with their skill set and approachable, which makes for an optimal learning experience. Ive learned a great deal from them clinically and have also had the chance to witness them create novel programming to train clinicians in the very niche field of feeding and swallowing. As a SLP with almost a decade of experience under my belt, I would easily trust any family member in need in Lindsay and Hannah’s care! I could not recommend their services highly enough!

  • I am incredibly grateful for the invaluable support and mentorship provided by Lindsay and Hannah during my transition into the NICU. As professors and mentors, their passion and knowledge were truly exceptional. They went above and beyond, always making themselves available to address my questions and concerns promptly and thoughtfully. What sets Lindsay and Hannah apart is their perfect blend of hands-on support and encouragement for independence. Their guidance was instrumental in shaping me into the NICU SLP I am today. Their dedication to my growth and success in the field is truly commendable. I can confidently say that I owe a significant part of my professional journey to Lindsay and Hannah. Their unwavering commitment to my development has left a lasting impact, and I am grateful for the time and effort they invested in my education. Thank you both for being outstanding mentors and for playing a pivotal role in my career.
