About
Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Development, Feeding, Lactation Informed, and Trauma Informed Care Specialist
Passionate Advocate for Infant Development
I am a lifelong learner with an unwavering passion for advocating on behalf of infants and children, helping them access their innate strengths and optimize function. My approach is rooted in developmental theory, allowing me to understand each child within their unique context. By working directly with the body and brain, I support skill development while empowering caregivers with education to enhance their child’s growth.
Expertise in Bodywork & Early Devlopment
With extensive knowledge in gestational and early life development, oral motor and feeding development (including breastfeeding), social-emotional growth, trauma-informed care, and sensory integration theory, I bring a holistic perspective to infant therapy. My expertise in manual therapy and neuromuscular re-education enables me to provide targeted, effective interventions.
A Joyful Journey Towards Lifelong Well-Being
My specialized bodywork training includes cranial sacral fascial therapy, oral motor fascial release, infant massage, primitive and postural reflexes, developmental movement patterns, and rhythmic movements. It would be my absolute joy to work with you and your little one to create a meaningful, positive early life experience that fosters a lifetime of well-being!
