What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy promotes a child’s growth and independence by strengthening their motor, physical, sensory, cognitive, and social-emotional development. This is achieved through engagement in individualized, client-centered therapy sessions that build a child’s confidence and growth in many skill areas.

Lactation Services

I currently offer a treatment protocol for plugged milk ducts for breastfeeding mothers. This protocol includes the use of therapeutic ultrasound (deep heat) to break up the clog and manual lymph massage to restore the appropriate fluid flow. I also teach mothers self-massage and exercise-based stretches to promote maximum breast health and fluid/lymph flow.
