Kelsey Wendland, MS, CCC SLP
Kelsey is an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist, Myofunctional Therapist and Certified Lactation Counselor with advanced training in oral muscle anatomy, posture, and coordination.
Kelsey founded Little Arbor Speech Therapy to specialize in treating the root causes of breathing, swallowing, sleeping and speech challenges through a myofunctional therapy approach. She strives to create a safe space for patients to learn and grow at their own pace and collaborates with other professionals along the way to get the best possible therapy outcomes.
Kelsey earned her master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology from South Carolina State University. She spent the first 8 years of her career working in Chicago, IL for the Early Intervention system, servicing children from birth through three years of age. After feeling like she wasn’t getting to the root cause of her patient’s difficulties, Kelsey spent her time seeking out courses to learn about orofacial myofunctional therapy, tethered oral tissues, breathing and sleeping disturbances and feeding challenges. She believes in lifelong learning and enjoys attending conferences and new courses to stay up-to-date on new research and therapy techniques. In her spare time, she enjoys staying active, attending local sporting events, trying new restaurants, and exploring her new home state of North Carolina!
