Amy Barrett, MSPAS, PA C,CLC
Certified Lactation Counselor -
In Home Schuylkill County - Virtual
Hello! My name is Amy and I was born and raised in NEPA but for the past 14 years call
Schuylkill County my home. I have worked as a General Pediatric Physician Assistant for 16
years. My heart is in pediatrics and it is where I belong. I love watching families grow and
getting to know them. I have a vast knowledge of pediatric issues and concerns that may affect
your little ones. I have always had a special interest in breastfeeding.
I have a Masters of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, Bachelor of Science in Medical Studies and a Minor in Health Care Administration from King’s College in 2006. Despite being a medical provider, my breastfeeding journey proved to be challenging when my first son was born with significant jaundice and required phototherapy. I researched a lot on my own and was able to successfully nurse both my children until 15 months of age, even when returning to
work full time! After acknowledging some of the difficulties presented while breastfeeding my own children, I decided to obtain my CLC certification in 2021, in order to make the
breastfeeding journey of other mothers a little smoother. I have such a passion in this area,
and the reward in helping mothers achieve their goal is priceless.
Currently, I can see patients virtually and also in home visits in Schuylkill County for all of your breastfeeding needs.
When I am not working, I can be found spending time with my husband and two boys ages 7 and 10. We love to travel and be outside. They keep me busy playing all of the sports! I am that crazy baseball momma that you all hear about!

Megan Oswald MS, CCC SLP, CLC
Speech-Language Pathologist - Oral Myofunctional Therapist - Certified Lactation Consultant - Pittston Office
Hi! I’m Megan Oswald and I was born and raised right here in NEPA. After graduating with my Master’s degree from Misericordia University I began my career working with adults across multiple settings.
Since then, I have ventured into the world of pediatrics where I found my true passion in helping the smallest of clients and their parents/caregivers through some of their most precious moments. In 2022, I completed the course work to become a certified lactation counselor and have been lucky enough to help support some of the amazing moms in this area achieve their breastfeeding goals.
​
Currently, I treat feeding disorders, picky eating, myofunctional disorders, assist parents/clients with tethered oral tissue (lip/tongue tie) pre and post procedure intervention, speech and language delays, and swallowing across the lifespan. I also have experience with those with feeding tubes and tracheostomies.
​
When I am not in the clinic, you can find me with my family chasing our 2 beautiful girls and trying to plan our next adventure. We are always outdoors; backyard to the lake to the beach, it doesn’t matter to us!

Owner
Speech-Language Pathologist
Certified Lactation Counselor
​
Hi, I am Chelsea Zimmerman! I am the owner and operator of Lingua Speech, Swallow, and Voice Services. I am from Reading, Pennsylvania and I graduated from Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania in the accelerated 5 year masters program to become a speech language pathologist. With nearly 10 years of experience, I have worked endlessly to learn from the best therapists and achieve experience in both inpatient and out rehabilitation centers. I have been fortunate to work at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation in both pediatrics and adults and the University of Nebraska Medical Center in their level III NICU and support the best of otolaryngologists.
​
As my experience grew, I wanted to advance clinically, so I became a certified lactation counselor due to my passion for breastfeeding, I became certified in neonatal infant massage and trained in manual therapy for adult voice/swallowing. I also further my education in professional training at the University of Nebraska Medical Center achieving another masters degree of health professional teaching and technology in May 2022 graduating with highest honors, summa cum laude.
​
I have a passion for educating other clinicians and other professionals on how powerful speech pathology can be. Clinically, I am most interested in tethered oral tissue, myofunctional therapy, starting solid foods, ARFID, the role of manual therapy (massage) for optimal swallowing and voice, and voice/swallowing for adults.
​
When not running Lingua, I can be found with my dog, Dax. You can also catch me competing in strength competitions, hanging out with my sister, and being the coolest aunt in the state.
