Meet The Therapist
Sarah Auriemma, M.S., CCC-SLP
Founder & Pediatric Feeding Specialist
Ocean Pediatric Feeding
Hi, I’m Sarah — a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist, pediatric feeding specialist, mother of two and the founder of Ocean Pediatric Feeding, based in Ocean County, New Jersey. I specialize in helping babies, toddlers, and young children overcome feeding challenges using evidence-based, relationship-centered therapy.
With advanced training from Boston Children’s Hospital and over a decade of experience, I support families through issues like bottle refusal, transitioning to solids, picky eating, and medically complex feeding needs (including G-tube, reflux, and sensory-based challenges).
My goal is to reduce mealtime stress and help families build positive, lasting feeding relationships — all in the comfort of your child’s natural environment, including your home, daycare, or school. I combine clinical expertise with compassion, creativity, and coaching to help your child thrive — one bite at a time.
I also provide Virtual Parent Coaching packages for families across New Jersey and beyond!
“Feeding time is no longer stressful, and our family is happy and thriving, able to eagerly await more milestones, and we owe it all to Sarah. Highly recommend!
