Our Services
The Nest is a lifespan speech, feeding, and wellness practice providing compassionate, whole-body care for infants, children, and adults. We specialize in early recognition of airway concerns and tethered oral tissues (tongue ties) and offer integrated support for communication, feeding, breathing, and nervous system regulation. Our services include traditional speech & language therapy, infant feeding and airway support, early communication development, pediatric speech and feeding therapy, orofacial myofunctional therapy, craniosacral therapy, and adult neurorehabilitation. At The Nest, we believe healing begins when the body feels safe. We take a gentle, individualized approach that supports the whole person — body, breath, and communication — across every stage of life.
Happy to help Families throughout Maryland!

“Mrs. Clarke is the highest caliber clinician. I bring my son to her for speech therapy services and have been blown away by her clinical expertise and compassion. My son has progressed tremendously under her care. Our family is incredibly blessed to have met her and we are indebted to her for the skilled guidance she has provided our precious child.”
