Hi there and welcome! I’m so thrilled you’re here! As a pediatric occupational therapist with one year of experience under my belt, I’ve already had the absolute joy of working with kids and their families to tackle challenges, celebrate milestones, and make everyday life a little brighter. This blog is my way of bringing that same passion to you—right here, right now, wherever you are (coffee or juice box in hand, I hope!).

Being in the early stages of my career, I’m learning and growing every single day, and I want this blog to reflect that journey. Occupational therapy is all about helping kids do what they need and love to do in ways that work best for them. Whether it’s learning how to tie their shoes, navigating sensory adventures, or building confidence in everyday tasks, I’ll be sharing tips, tricks, and stories to make your parenting or teaching journey smoother—and a lot more fun.

But here’s the deal: this isn’t just me talking at you (boring, right?). I want this to be a two-way street, a cozy little corner of the internet where we can learn from each other. Maybe you’re a parent figuring out your kiddo’s unique needs, a teacher looking for classroom-friendly solutions, or someone searching for fresh ideas to support a child you care about. Whatever brings you here, your questions and ideas are what will make this space truly special.

Here are just a few of the fun and helpful topics I can’t wait to dive into:

• Sneaky ways to boost fine and gross motor skills through play

• Sensory tips and tricks to make meltdowns less melty (and maybe even fun!)

• Encouraging independence in self-care routines, from brushing teeth to getting dressed

• Practical solutions for school and home challenges without losing your cool

• Creative, kid-approved activities that build skills while sparking joy

Got something on your mind already? Shoot me a message or drop a comment. Your ideas will help shape this blog into a space that works for YOU and your little ones.

So grab your favorite snack (mine’s chocolate…always chocolate), settle in, and let’s get this party started. I’m so excited to learn, share, and grow with you. Here’s to helping kids thrive and making life a little brighter—together! 🙂
