Pediatric Occupational Therapist Supporting Families in the San Fernando Valley, Malibu, Santa Monica, and West Los Angeles
Helping Babies and Families Thrive Through Movement and Connection
Whether you are preparing to welcome your first baby or seeking answers for a baby who seems uncomfortable, tense, overly fussy, or is struggling with feeding, movement, or developmental milestones, I am here to help your baby become more comfortable in their body and more capable in their movement.
Through NeuroHorizons® Experiential Movement Lessons®, I help babies develop greater coordination, feeding success, self-regulation, and overall well-being while supporting parents with the knowledge, confidence, and guidance they need along the way.
When a Baby Struggles, the Whole Family Feels It
Maybe your baby seems stiff, uncomfortable, cries more than other babies, and is difficult to soothe.
When you talk to other moms, their babies are rolling, sitting, or crawling “on time.” Meanwhile, you worry that your baby seems uncomfortable or stuck and isn’t meeting these milestones. Perhaps you notice asymmetry in their movement, a strong preference to turn the head to one side, a flat spot on their head, or that they move differently than other babies.
Perhaps feeding isn’t going as expected. Maybe you have already seen a lactation consultant or your baby has had a tongue-tie release and they are still not feeding well at the breast.
Your pediatrician says, “Let’s wait and see,” or on the other end of the spectrum, “They should be doing this already.” Regardless, you are left wondering what your next step should be.
You don’t have to navigate it alone. I would love to be part of your village.
As a pediatric occupational therapist and mother of two children who had torticollis and breastfeeding challenges, I understand both the professional and personal sides of supporting babies through early developmental challenges.
Through NeuroHorizons® Experiential Movement Lessons®, I help babies, children, and parents discover new possibilities for movement, learning, feeding, regulation, and developmental growth.
How I Help
My work is rooted in the understanding that movement is one of the primary ways babies learn. Through gentle, individualized movement experiences, babies become more aware of themselves, helping the brain build new maps for feeding, comfort, coordination, and development.
Every baby is unique, and challenges often arise for reasons that are not immediately obvious. My approach looks beyond symptoms to support your baby’s movement, feeding, development, comfort, and overall nervous system organization.
