My Journey from a Parent’s Perspective

My son was diagnosed with a genetic disorder at the age of 2. This rocked my world like nothing I ever expected. Being an Occupational Therapist only helped me navigate the world of parenting a child with a disability, it did not change the mental overload and endless drive for the best therapy. Throughout our journey we have encountered some pretty amazing people, therapists, doctors, and other children who have inspired us to continue to strive for the best outcomes possible. Now with my experience as not only a therapist but also as a parent, I want to share these resources with you.

What People Are Saying…

  • "We had a great time with Jenn. We had taken the summer off from intensives + DMI and needed a refresher. We were only in town for 3 days and Jenn was super accommodating and was able to fit us in. I appreciated that Jenn walked me through exercises I was already familiar with and how to improve on them. Looking forward to our next intensive with her!"

  • “This was our first (and hopefully not our last) DMI with you (and actually first ever) and we really loved it! You're incredible with the little ones and I think that really helps to have a better flow during the therapy sessions."

  • “We absolutely loved working with Jenn. Her calm approach and demeanor made my son feel very comfortable, and he was able to work through hard exercises with smile on his face. I especially liked how she explained exercises to me too while I was watching and helped me to understand his body, limitations and create plan going forward after we return home. She is a very good and knowledgeable therapist so if you have a chance to work with Jenn - definitely book. Highly recommend."

  • “We are so thankful for the hard work, guidance, and patience we received from Jennifer during our intensive. Our son has mild CP and Jen not only challenged him in ways he never had been before, but also sent us home armed with knowledge of where his weaknesses are, and ways we can work to grow in his abilities and skill level at home. We were so pleased with her services that we have already booked another intensive. Thank you again!"

  • "Jenn is such an amazing and empathic therapist. She truly has made the biggest difference in our sons life."

  • "We loved our experience! Jen just gets it! She understands the need to challenge and improve the status who of traditional therapy. It was the most affirming experience we’ve had on this journey of being parents of a child with disabilities. Jen was super patient and gushed over our daughter the entire time. Jen was flexible and responsive to my daughter’s moods. She is great at redirecting and thinking outside of the box to modify and extend exercises. She was even able to recommend practitioners in our local area to continue the same style of therapy. We can’t wait to work with her again!"

  • "Fantastic, Jenn you’ve been a miracle for us and it’s been so lovely to get to know you 😀. Thank you for showing such a genuine interest in our daughter and giving us hope again. I know we will keep in touch and hopefully have our daughter with you again❤️"

  • "Absolutely amazing. Jennifer is so knowledgeable and passionate, it shows in everything she does. Her attention to detail is unmatched. We watched progress happen in every single session. We are excited for our next intensive with Jennifer!"

  • "Excellent as always! Learning where more deficits are (backwards step ups) was very helpful to know what to work on, but it was great to watch him achieve new skills! All activities were beneficial though :)"
