Brian has had some great progress! Lots of fun and hard work and he is now able to play on all fours and sit on different surfaces without constant support. Hooray!

Side stepping (cruising) and hand hold assisted steps are the mini-milestones toward independent standing mobility. Enzo has come so far and we’re excited to share today’s session. Great steps Enzo and great job family for practicing everyday!

Video to follow in the future of what we have been practicing over the last few months.

Anyone else enjoy seeing new leaves form and unravel? Well, enjoy!

Every morning open up the blinds and let some sunshine in. This one has been happy and has made its second leaf since being in my home. I won this beauty from 🤗💗.

Baby Roman is making moves and I want to share where we currently are. He is super interested in reaching for everything and doesn’t mind tummy time play and it’s been helping with his sitting.

He is learning to use his body to stabilize while seated and it’s been a challenge to balance his core while playing but he’s been such a great sport with all the activities we have been working on.

Stay tuned for his sitting journey. Enjoy seeing how determined he is to play and get to what he wants!

Did you know singing and blowing bubbles are a prerequisite for pediatric therapy?

Everyone’s motivation is different but the mechanics and principles of walking is the same. Getting optimal alignment, weight bearing, and timing of the whole body with each step provides an experience and pattern that the body tries to use most efficiently. My job as a therapist is to provide an environment and experience that fosters better alignment with the timing to move our sessions forward towards independence AMD to develop a home program that is doable regularly. Here Enzo is engaged, happy to play with the ball, and his body is trying to make it all come together.

This was early October and he is showing some great steps! In future videos, I will share what we have been working on to optimize his movement patterns and efficiency with learning to walk.

Thank you for joining us and celebrating Enzo’s journey. And thank you to Enzo’s family in allowing me to share his physical therapy journey 💗.

I’m grateful to have worked alongside side amazing professionals and families in the NICU and the High Risk Infant Follow-Up clinic. Seeing kiddos and their parents at such a challenging yet also miraculous time in their lives was intense. Between the beeps and round after round of decisions to determine the best next course of action, we tried to make the best of what we could and offer calm and connection while we worked on neurodevelopmental touch and cue-based feeding.

NICU-grads and their parents are warriors. They’ve gone through a special kind of birthing experience that only those who have been through it can understand.

This sweet NICU warrior is Ezekiel. He was born at 24 weeks and I was fortunate enough to have worked with him and his parents from the beginning up through a few of his HRIF sessions. His mom and I have kept in touch over the last 10 years and she shared this most recent picture with me. He has grown up so much and is thriving. His mom let me share these images and a little about his journey.

Early intervention, including developmental therapy in the NICU, is so important. Creating the calm, comfort, and connection is the foundation to learning and overall development. It all starts with fostering that connection from the start. Connection between baby and awareness of self, awareness and connection with parents/caregivers, and also connection between providers and the whole family unit.

We have made it to the last quarter of 2025! What a year it has been. Let’s keep an open heart and mind as we move forward.

I would like to re-introduce myself. I am Dr. Hazel Legaspi. I am a CA licensed physical therapist and I provide in-home physical therapy for babies, young children, and their caregivers. I specialize in neurodevelopment, nervous system regulation, and fascial health. I provide services to families in various ways:
- Early Intervention population through the CA Regional Center
- Infant to Adolescent populations via private pay, Self Determination Programs, and foundation/grant funding
- Adult physical therapy through private pay and out of network insurance

I provide services in the comfort of your home within the Los Angeles and Orange county areas. My waitlist is currently open and as availability becomes available in your area, I will contact you. You can find resources for developmental milestones, Regional Center information, non-toxic cleaner info, and more on my website. You can also learn more about fascia and add yourself to my waitlist. The link is in my bio.

I am also a mental health advocate and small business lover. I believe in holistic, whole body, healing and living. Mental health plays a big part in our health as caregivers and in the health of little ones.

I love sharing wins, struggles, and ways to be in community. Thanks for stopping by!

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness month. It’s ok to not be ok. Learning to lean in and be curious about what you are feeling, where you are feeling it, and pausing to nurture yourself instead of beating yourself up is a first step. You’re never alone and there is hope for you. If you’re struggling and feel like an alien in your own body and feel alone, know that your right now is not forever. Lean in. Let’s celebrate being curious instead of suppressing and denying what we feel.

You’re never alone. Here are some of my favorite resources.

7 A moment of joy. I’m basking in the feeling of presence. Grateful to be able to feel connected to my son, my husband taking the picture, the strength in my body to give a piggy back ride, the presence of mind, the alignment of my heart and soul. Being able to feel the sun on my skin, the gentle breeze, the connection of mind, body, and soul. Everything I wished for when I was in the dark for so long.

In my 20s I remember a celebrity say her favorite decade was her 40s until she got to her 50s. (It may have been Samantha Jones’ character from S*x and the City, I don’t remember!) I just remember thinking “wow! I wonder what they’re experiencing to say that!”. Most people talk about wanting to be young again and it always just stuck with me.

Well, I am in my 40s now and I can definitely say it is pretty darn amazing! The years leading up to this decade were wild and not so great in comparison. Even with extended recovery time and random aches and pains from the most simple activities… I am blessed to be here, present and proud to say I am now 42! Yes I’m a bit fluffier (those arms!) and I cuss a bit more than I used to, but I accept that I am capable of change and THAT is always constant. I lean on my relationship with myself and my ability to listen to my body’s cues about my nervous system. As long as my heart and mind can find alignment, it’s all good.

I owe my sense of alignment to my amazing therapist. She showed be what is possible, that if I can work on being curious and soften into listening, being kind, and honoring myself, I can truly understand what my nervous system is trying to tell me.

Dr. Stephen Porges is a wonderful man who has revolutionized how we view the human experience through the lens of connection with others as a connection with self. His work has prompted a whole field of psychology and collaboration with other fields that integrates the interaction between the mind, body, AND the relationship to others and self.

We are not wired to do life alone.

I am so grateful to have met him and his wife a couple days ago at the 7th International Research Congress in NOLA. They are both wonderful and kind! What a dream to be at a fascia event AND have Stephen Porges as a keynote speaker!

Hello there! I am Dr. Hazel Legaspi. I am a physical therapist in sunny California. I provide services in families homes and I specialize in developmental milestones. I am a mental health advocate and I openly talk about my struggles as an adolescent up to my most recent struggle a few years ago. Taking care of YOU is a lifelong journey and I am a believer that the more you can open up and own what you feel and are, the better you heal and can be yourself and be a great human to be, be around, and make you and those around you experience a better day.

As a physical therapist, I am big on functional play based therapy and I am a fascial manual therapist. I incorporate gentle fascial therapy and am trained in both John Barnes MFR Myofascial Release ™️ and Gillespie CFT. I am forever learning! Fascial therapy techniques is a game changer for me and the impact on the people I treat. Check out my video clips to see some of the amazing impact it has had, especially on kiddos who are more medically complex, non verbal, and have misalignments like torticollis.

I love working with little ones who are hesitant or restricted in their movements because that look of wonder and being lost in play while doing what was once difficult is pure joy!

I also provide my services to caregivers who want to be the best they physically can be and enjoy parenthood in a body that can move and keep up with the demands of life with littles.

I serve the Los Angeles and Orange county areas. Check out my website for more information!
