Wondering why we do what we do?

Lindsey is a passionate pediatric occupational therapist and feeding specialist with 10 years of extensive experience across early intervention, public schools, and pediatric clinic settings. Throughout her career, she has assisted children of various ages and abilities, using her holistic, child- and family-centered approach to develop individualized treatment plans.

Lindsey specializes in neuroaffirming practices, sensory integration, and feeding therapy, with a deep commitment to helping families thrive. Certified as a Dr. Yum Project Preschool Food Adventure instructor, she integrates nutrition education into her work — fostering positive relationships with food for young children.

Her work involves creating a supportive environment for children to explore and master new skills, and she actively engages families and caregivers in the therapeutic process. She views her profession as more than just a job, cherishing the rewarding experience of seeing children progress and thrive.

Lindsey is dedicated to collaborating with families, educators, and other healthcare professionals to help children achieve their full potential — going above and beyond to transfer her knowledge of child development to parents and give them the tools they need every day.
