Neurodevelopmental Treatment Approach
Parent Coaching & Education
I believe that we experience well-being when we enjoy functioning with a sense of meaning and purpose. This experience is often described as ease, flow, and joy in living.
This is a shift away from temporary happiness and a movement towards using our resources and strengths to engage with purpose and authenticity. This approach honors the whole child and their uniqueness.
As an occupational therapist with 28 years of experience and a mom to four kids, I have seen obstacles and challenges stand in the way of children flourishing through their development.
Parents are shouldering huge responsibilities and concerns for their child. Parents need support and education so that they can feel confident in advocating for their child with healthcare providers and schools. You are the expert in your child! I can help guide you towards ease, flow, and joy along the journey.
“Carrie has an uncanny ability to know what both the parent and child need, both in terms of information and care. Her intuitive nature means she is one step ahead of you regarding your questions and concerns, which brings tremendous peace of mind when the well-being of your child is at stake.”
Anna, Parent
