Hello! I have been practicing in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis for over seven years. My husband, Craig, and I have our hands full with two beautiful children and a rescued dog named Bradli. We love to spend time outdoors, going on walks, watching movies, working on house projects, and spending time with our huge extended family!
The inspiration to start my own business came one year ago when at the time, my 18-month-old daughter had a knack for putting anything and everything into her mouth. So much so that she had to be rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that she swallowed three small rocks at daycare. After a hospital stay, we were fortunate to leave the following day with her back to her normal cheerful self, but the experience terrified me.
How could I go back to work and not be by her side during all her waking hours? I was constantly fearful of the next thing she could swallow. After speaking with our pediatrician and seeking advice from others, it was clear she needed Occupational Therapy. We were able to find her an OT who specialized in lactation and oral motor work, who was willing to work with our daughter on our own schedule and travel to her daycare to work with her directly. This kind of one-on-one service, that happened at the convenience of my family, helped me get my peace of mind back as my daughter showed improvements.
I want families just like mine to have access to this type of individualized and flexible-focused care because I know as a parent, that is what I valued most when I was on the other side of seeking services.
This business has been a year's worth of thought and intention for families like mine, who just want help.
I look forward to speaking with you!
