About Us
Carissa Rudeau, OTR, CNT, IBCLC, & Realtor
Occupational Therapist, Lactation Consultant, and Realtor—Carissa Rudeau offers a unique, holistic approach to family transitions. Drawing from her deep clinical background in occupational therapy, as well as her personal experiences with high-risk pregnancy, infant feeding challenges, and searching for the right home for her own children, Carissa provides the high-level support she once sought for her own family.
Beyond maternal and infant health, Carissa’s expertise spans the full spectrum of the human experience. With years of experience in adult acute care, neurological rehabilitation, and supporting the aging population, she has a profound ability to identify a client’s unique goals and forge a path to achieve them with unwavering compassion.
This is where her clinical world meets real estate: she views every property through the lens of a therapist. Whether helping a new family establish a safe, supportive nursery or assisting a senior in finding a home that facilitates aging-in-place, Carissa assesses physical environments to ensure they are safe, functional, and life-giving. From clinical feeding support to finding the perfect home for any stage of life, she is a dedicated advocate for people of all ages navigating big transitions.

I do not believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether I am supporting feeding or a home purchase, I focus on:

- Identifying root causes, not just symptoms
- Creating environments that promote ease, safety, and participation
