Meet Our Therapy Team
" Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them."
Psalm 127:4-5
This particular scripture runs deep in our souls for a multitude of reasons. When we are blessed with becoming parents, natural or otherwise, we instinctively want what is best for our children. We raise them the best that we know how, even when we feel that our best is falling short.
Our children are our arrows, just as your children are yours. As caregivers and guardians, we all strive to help our children “stay sharp, find their mark, and go chase their dreams”. In return, they provide us with strength, security, and love. We become mightier in their presence, much like the skillful archer with a full quiver.
At 3 Arrows, we have come to realize that our “arrows” reach far beyond the home. We are blessed that our personal arrows include our children, the children whom we have been fortunate enough to serve, and all of the families that have allowed us on their journey. The number 3 holds special meaning for us, as it symbolizes each of our own 3 children, as well as the therapeutic relationship among the child, the family, and the therapist.
We are elated to continue filling our quiver. We hope that you will grant us the opportunity to equip your family with support for your own arrow to hit their mark.

Meet Kaylee
Kaylee is a 2013 graduate from SIUE with a Masters degree in speech-language pathology. After graduating, she quickly began devoting her career to the pediatric population. Kaylee started her career working in the public school system where she served the Kindergarten thru 5th grade population. Soon she began working in the private therapy setting where she discovered her passion for orofacial myofunctional therapy. While personally experiencing breastfeeding with her own children, Kaylee answered a calling to become a certified lactation counselor. She is specialized in the evaluation and treatment of: orofacial myofunctional disorders, feeding disorders, tethered oral tissues (lip, tongue, and cheek ties), and lactation difficulties. She has a passion for looking at a child holistically - investigating and treating the cause(s) and not just the symptoms. Kaylee enjoys bonding with the children and families that she serves, and emphasizes open-communication and hard work to
assist with achieving each child’s full potential.
Kaylee works hard and plays hard. She is described as a continuing education junkie. Outside of her career, she enjoys the outdoors with her husband and 3 children, coffee, dark chocolate, and reading.

Meet Nichole
Nichole graduated from SIUE with a Masters degree in speech-language pathology in 2008. After graduating, she worked with middle and high school students with speech, language, and functional life skills. She also worked part-time and full-time in nursing homes and a rehabilitation unit with adults. In 2018, Nichole was exposed to myofascial release for herself and family members and decided to dedicate her speech therapy work to using this technique. This allows her to find the origin or root issue of dysfunction for her clients and view each patient holistically. Nichole now specializes in the John F. Barnes Myofascial Release technique for babies and children to help them overcome their feeding or speech difficulties.
​Nichole is also a wife and mother to two children. She loves being a mother and spending time with her family. They enjoy taking trips to Branson
where they spend many hours on the lake. Nichole enjoys conversations about spiritual topics and growing in her relationship with Jesus.
