4worldlovers: She comes to your home to evaluate and treat your child (2 weeks-5 yrs) in the environment they’re most comfortable in (which is great because leaving the house takes a lot of effort).

Wouldn’t it be great if someone could teach you more about how your kiddo is moving?

Difficulties with gross motor milestones and conditions such as plagiocephaly (flattening of the head) and torticollis can impact a child’s ability to play, explore, and grow.

Kiddos want to move, but sometimes things get in the way.

Plagiocephaly (flattening of the skull, can often treat without a helmet at 3-4 months of age)

Difficulty with tummy time (less than 10-15 minutes at a time for a total of 60 minutes per day by 3 months)

Asymmetrical Crawling such as booty scooting, hitch crawling, or exclusive bear crawling (need both knees on the floor!)

Core, Hip, and Leg Weakness that can impact naturally walking progress (PT recommended by 16 months)

Gross motor skills such as tummy time, rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking are difficult because they take a lot of energy and require moving a lot of body parts in succession, which can be difficult to control for a little one

If you think learning how to drive a manual car (stick shift) is hard,

Imagine what your child is experiencing trying to move against gravity.

Don’t you think your kiddo’s movement experiences should be spent effortlessly and confidently exploring cozy homes filled with love?

Mom life is tough, so let me help you release the worry.

I’m here to be your kiddo’s movement specialist, but also your heartfelt resource so you can learn more about how your kiddo chooses to move and help them play more efficiently.
