Integrative Pediatric Therapy

About Me

Her pediatric practice specializes in the treatment of children (all ages) with learning differences, autism, developmental disabilities, scoliosis, feeding problems, breast feeding issues, lip & tongue tie, torticollis, plagiocephaly, genetic & behavioral disorders and more.

Her concussion practice focuses on providing patients of all ages with individualized, comprehensive, concussion prevention & recovery treatment. This includes manual therapy (CST, VM, fascial & Lymph), baseline testing, sports enhancement, visual & vestibular rehab, Dynavision, RightEye and Interactive Metronome, as well as health & wellness for the lifespan program and fall prevention.

Sally founded IPT with a vision for combining multi-disciplinary therapies to help children establish a strong foundation for development and growth. Integrative Concussion Therapy was developed after observing the similarities in symptoms between children with visual and vestibular deficits, and a person with a concussion. With over 40 years of experience in the field of Pediatrics, she continues to see the benefits derived from integrated therapies designed to meet the individual needs of her patients.

She is a Diplomate Certified CranioSacral Therapist who has completed advanced training with The Upledger Institute. In addition she is a certified lactation counselor, developmental specialist and sensory integration expert. Her Upledger course work has included:
