Meet Sherry Levota, OTR/L
Pediatric occupational therapist, feeding specialist, and founder of Baby Calm.

For more than 20 years, Sherry has supported children and families through early intervention, outpatient care, school-based therapy, and hospital settings. In 2014, she founded Beyond Function, an outpatient pediatric clinic that continues to serve children of all ages.

Her journey into infant-focused care is deeply personal: when her son experienced pediatric feeding disorder, Sherry became determined to learn everything she could to help babies and parents find relief sooner. Today, she blends advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy with expert level pediatric occupational therapy experience to provide compassionate, collaborative support.

Expertise You Can Trust

Specialized training and experience in infant development.

Specialized training and experience in infant development.

  • Infant Craniosacral Therapy (CST)

    All births are traumatic. Bringing life into this world is hard work for Mom and baby. Those 8 or so weeks with a newborn are magical but also overwhelming. Just know it is not too early to screen for torticollis, tethered oral tissues, flat spots (plagiocephaly). The earlier the better!

  • Pediatric Occupational Therapy

    Not only can you get CST at Baby Calm but you are getting it from a licensed board certified occupational therapist who is also trained to screen and monitor for developmental delays of all kinds. Rest assured you are in the hands of a medical professional you can trust to seek advice and reassurance from.

  • Feeding Therapy

    At Baby Calm you will experience compassionate care for feeding problems from nursing, to starting sollids, to managing picky eating. Early help with feeding from the "get-go" can even prevent the extreme picky eating later on, often caused by unresolved early feeding struggles, we see so much of these days.

  • Expertise that only comes from years of experience

    From 2001 to 2021, Early Intervention in MO and KS shaped a treatment approach that honors families and routines, expertly belnding therapeutic outcomes with busy daily life of parents all over the KC Metro!

  • Family-centered approach

    No one knows your child like you do. You have instincts. Whether you want to call it a "gut" feeling or intuition, your concerns are our concern. You want validation and soemone who will listen and collaborate with you to find the best path for you and your baby.

Part of the Beyond Function Family
Extending expert care from our established pediatric clinic to newborn-focused services.

Baby Calm was founded by the same experienced pediatric occupational therapist who created Beyond Function — a trusted outpatient pediatric clinic serving families since 2014. This partnership means families benefit from the expertise, resources, and reputation of a long-standing clinic, while receiving the specialized, newborn-centered care Baby Calm was created to provide.

Together, Baby Calm and Beyond Function share the same mission: to honor parents, support children, and provide evidence-based care that nurtures growth and comfort at every stage of development.
