Testimonials
"Lauren makes learning creative and fun for our [child]. She is always patient and kind and extremely encouraging. She has taught us great tips to incorporate in our daily routine. We are very happy we found her!"
"Since starting OT with Lauren, my son has went from 36lbs and not eating for 18 hours at a time to now 42lbs and trying foods I never thought I would see him eat. I have seen him gain pride in his accomplishments, improve his fine motor skills, and prepare for preschool."
"Lauren is now a part of our family and we wouldn't know what to do without her. She has helped me learn how to parent him and gain confidence as a mom that I, too, can learn the skills to get him through this. Lauren is one of our angels!"
