Harness work helps kids practice balance, strength and coordination without fear of falling.
It gives their nervous system the repetition it needs to learn how to organize movement in a way that feels manageable and safe.

Every small shift in their posture, every attempt to bear weight, every moment they stay upright a little longer than before — that’s real progress.

If you’ve been wondering what movement support could look like for your child, or why certain tasks feel harder than expected, send me a message.
I’m always here to help you make sense of it.

The climbing wall isn’t just for fun.
Kids use it to build the strength, balance and coordination they rely on for everyday tasks like running, getting dressed, climbing stairs, playing on the playground and feeling stable in their bodies.

It also gives them a clear path to practice motor planning and regulation.
Every hold, every shift in weight, every decision about where to move next helps their nervous system organize and feel more confident.

If climbing is something your child avoids or struggles with, send me a message.
I’m happy to talk through what you’re seeing and how we can support it.

Bilateral coordination is one of those skills parents rarely hear about, but it affects almost everything kids do. If your child avoids tasks that require both hands or becomes frustrated easily, that’s something worth paying attention to.

If you want help understanding what this looks like in real life, reach out anytime.

Lots of children love squatting while they play.
It’s a strong, stable position and gives them a solid base to explore, build, and concentrate.

It can mean a few things:

👉Core and hip strength are developing, squatting builds stability and balance.

👉They’re creating a close-to-the-ground “working zone” where their body feels most organized.

👉It’s a natural way to shift weight and explore movement during play.

👉Some kids squat to stay regulated, the position gives them grounding and body awareness.

OT only takes a closer look when squatting comes with other patterns, like low endurance, balance challenges, W-sitting, or difficulty moving in and out of the position.

If you’ve been noticing movement habits and aren’t sure what they mean, send me a message.
Sometimes one conversation brings a lot more clarity.

Stimming is something many children do, and it often tells us what their body needs, more input, less input, or a way to steady themselves during daily routines.

OT helps by figuring out why a stim is happening and what kind of support makes regulation easier.
It’s never about stopping something, it’s about understanding the pattern behind it.

If you’ve been seeing stimming at home and want help making sense of it, send me a message anytime.

We don’t think about the tongue, lips, and jaw very often, until they start getting in the way of eating or talking.

MYO (myofunctional therapy) gives kids the coordination and strength they need for safer chewing, clearer sounds, better breath control, and more confidence at mealtimes.

If you’re wondering whether MYO might help your child, send me a message.
I’m happy to talk through what you’re noticing.

A lot of parents are surprised when they see how much purposeful play happens in OT.
But for kids, play isn’t extra, it’s how their nervous system learns what “safe,” “organized,” and “in control” feel like.

When a child still has active reflexes, big emotional responses, or trouble with coordination, their body is often working harder than anyone realizes. Play-based therapy gives them the repetition, movement, and regulation practice they need without pressure or performance.

This is why so many sessions look playful on the outside
…but on the inside, the nervous system is doing the real work.

OT “play” helps kids:

👉manage overwhelm and stress

👉build coordination and strength

👉support emotional regulation

👉improve body awareness and planning

👉feel more confident moving through their day

If you’ve ever wondered whether play-based therapy is enough, it absolutely is.
And if you’re curious what this could look like for your child, send me a message anytime.

Occupational therapy is so much more than most people think.
It’s not just handwriting.
It’s not just “playtime”
It’s the skills kids need to move through their day feeling capable instead of overwhelmed.

If you’ve been wondering whether OT might help your child with routines, feeding, sensory needs, or emotional regulation, send me a message.

I’m always happy to talk through what you’re noticing.

So many parents come to us after hearing “they don’t qualify,” yet they’re still seeing real challenges with homework, transitions, attention, or emotional regulation at home.

Academic support is a way to step back and get clarity, without pressure, timelines or school criteria.
It helps you understand why something feels hard and what supports actually make sense for your child.

If you’ve been second-guessing what you’re seeing, or you just want someone to help you sort through the details, send me a message.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
