Spoiler alert - we don’t have any. We just show up every day ready to work really hard for our families. We do however, have a standard of service. From the start, even before we formally identified these patterns, these pillars of service have guided every interaction we have with our community - from therapy sessions in the gym to our volunteer work with Sadie, & everything in between.
What's Our Secret?
We believe inclusion matters, and everyone - no matter what they look like, where they live, what unique qwirks they have, or their financial status - has a seat at our table. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a happy, successful, thriving life.
Imaginary games, roleplaying, & being silly are everyday occurrences around here. All kidding aside, play is the vehicle for engagement, development, connection, communication, & so much more for children. It only makes sense that we play & have fun with our kiddos.
Leave An Open Invitation
Have Fun
Teamwork makes the dream work! As an occupational therapist, it is our job to assist in communicating and educating our community on ways to help children succeed. This community includes teachers, coaches, other medical professionals, community leaders, first responders, & more.
We aren't afraid to get scrappy & love thinking outside the box when it comes to treatment session and supporting our families. You don't always need the latest & greatest equipment to make an impact. Wether you have the ability to invest in certain equipment/programs or not, we guarantee you will have all the tools you need to support your child.
Work As A Team
Get Creative
Make It Personal
We believe that every child is not only worthy of a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically for their individual needs, but a therapist who is going to take the time to make a personal connection with them. Each of our clients are unique & it is our pleasure to get to know them on a personal level.
We strive to make safe environments where children feel comfortable experimenting with what works for their unique mind body system. Our ultimate goal is to make sure the children we work with feel %100 comfortable being themselves because when they do, curiosity emerges, which is a capstone for growth.
Inspire Courage & Curiosity

To say we are all operating under a higher degree of stress is a fair statement, would you agree? Uncertainty of the future..feelings of grief or sadness for things or experiences that we’ve lost..frustrated that we are all crammed inside our houses together..there is a lot going on in our world these days. Even if you aren’t feeling more stressed than usual, there are so many changes happening & we are constantly having to adapt to a new normal which can wear you down. So how can we continue to put our best foot forward?
