About
I have an Occupational Therapy degree from Indiana University, with 40 years of experience starting at a trauma hospital, then rehabilitation centers, and now in a private clinic. Expanding manual therapy skills but still specializing in neurology, pediatrics and sensory integration, I have returned to my roots as a generalist in health and wellness.Honored to witness and assist many clients' recoveries and discoveries. I work with infants on breastfeeding, colic, plagiocephaly, tongue-tie, and torticollis. Complications of concussions and head injuries, autism, seizures, learning problems, and other neurological challenges are a particular interest of mine. I also work with orthopedic issues such as athletic injuries, carpal tunnel, back and neck pain, and sprains. Many clients dealing with effects of chronic auto-immune, Lyme, COVID, and PANS have found positive results with these various forms of bodywork at our clinic. Positive changes of scars and adhesion can also be helped by these methods. My background has prepared me to feel confident to work with nearly any condition, any age.
In addition to owning & managing staff in a private clinic for three decades, I enjoy a position of invited lecturer, author, consultant, and researcher.
