Family Tree OT

Family Tree OT and Lactation is a family-focused practice serving parents and children in Calabasas and surrounding communities, including Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, Thousand Oaks, Tarzana, Encino, and Sherman Oaks. The practice combines lactation support and pediatric occupational therapy to address the interconnected well-being of children and caregivers. Its services help families navigate breastfeeding and bottle-feeding challenges, complex feeding needs, developmental concerns, and the transition to new roles and routines.

The practice is led by Ashley Karlin, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and licensed occupational therapist with advanced practice in feeding, eating, and swallowing. Drawing on experience with healthy newborns, premature infants, and children with complex medical needs, she partners with families to support their individual feeding goals. Guidance may include breastfeeding and pumping support, help with milk supply, bottle-feeding strategies, and assistance with eating solid foods. Family Tree OT and Lactation also offers CPR training, classes, and workshops. Its approach emphasizes knowledgeable, compassionate care tailored to each family’s circumstances and preferences.
