Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Pediatric occupational therapists help children reach important developmental milestones. They are experts in child development and can assist in identifying if there are delays or deficits in sensory processing, fine and gross motor, cognitive, social/emotional, and behavioral abilities.
Using a family centered approach, the therapist identifies a child’s current skills related to play, school performance, daily activities, and family interaction. They assist children in building the skills they need to successfully participate in life and grow into healthy, well-adjusted adults.

Adult Occupational Therapy
We assist you in developing the necessary abilities to accomplish your daily living and/or to find ways to improve physical and cognitive limitations to support optimal participation in daily activities without discomfort and with greater ease.
During our sessions, participation in therapeutic activities to improve the body-mind connection will help you become more capable in self-care activities (dressing, eating, grooming), in household or work activities (ex. writing, computer use, meal preparation and planning, gardening, home and life organization), and in leisure activities (recreational activities, hobbies, walking, social outings).
Often, home or environment modifications will be suggested to help accomplish successful participation in daily living skills.
Sessions can vary greatly depending on the concerns identified and typically include a movement based assessment and skill building to improve fine and gross motor control, cognition/perceptual abilities, self-regulation, and self awareness. Training with strategies or devices to facilitate safe and efficient activity engagement are included in our session if needed.
Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education
The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education is a system of movement education that is effective at treating a broad range of conditions using gentle guided movement and directed attention to tap into the communication pathways between the brain and the body. Often described as the ABC's of movement. The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an understanding of learning and human development. It was developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, a scientist and movement expert.
By increasing self awareness through applying the principles of this unique method, you will discover effective ways to become aware of, and change unnecessary habits and tensions in your body-mind. This change often results in improved function in all aspects of your daily living due to the ease of movement gained. Common conditions treated include chronic muscle and joint pain, motor coordination, and movement difficulties.

MNRI®
Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration
The primary focus of the MNRI Method is to support the health and the integration process of primary motor reflex patterns, regardless of a person’s condition or age. It's often referred to as the "missing link" in therapeutic body-mind work due to the intricate hands-on technique communicating directly with your nervous system.
​Recognized world-wide as a highly effective way to treat critical central nervous system functioning and brain processing, which can result in improved overall body-mind function.
It is applicable to many conditions including, autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, learning disabilities and head injuries, to name a few.
Sounder Sleep System®
The Sounder Sleep System is based on the discovery that specific easy, slow, physical movements can shift us from an alert, waking state to one of deep mental and physical rest. In that tranquil state, if you need sleep, you will fall asleep. Developed by Michael Krugman, it draws upon the Feldenkrais Method® and ancient Chinese medicine.
You will be guided through instruction in specific movements to calm your nervous system, and a home program will be personally designed for you to help you attain this relaxed state needed to support restful, healthy sleep.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
CST is a gentle, hands-on modality that uses light touch pressure to relieve the stress and pain caused by restrictions and compression. Restrictions can limit the efficiency of the nervous system, leading to increased feelings of stress, anxiety, fatigue, tension, and chronic/acute pain.
Through attention to the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid can be enhanced. This can improve the body’s ability to heal and provides a deep relaxation within the tissues and nervous system.
CST can be useful as a preventive health measure to bolster your resistance to disease, and this therapeutic technique is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction.
