ABOUT US

Help for the Whole Child uses a child led neuroaffirming approach using gentle movement-based methods and developmental techniques designed to help kids, teens, and adults with ADHD, autism, sensory processing issues, learning, and neuro-motor challenges. 

 

I work to create stronger social emotional skills, self-regulation, and language skills through teaching developmental activities and strengthening brain-to-body connections.

 

During session I implement and teach parents gentle movement and play activities designed specifically for the client’s level of development.  I employ the unique blend of The P.L.A.Y Project, DIR Floortime Reflex Integration, Neurodevelopment, HANDLE Activities, and nutritional suggestions to help see lasting changes with clients. 

My work dovetails well with other therapies including O.T, P.T, Vision therapy, and speech therapy and learning programs. Together we help those with sensitivities address the challenges they face in their daily environment. 

 

For your busy schedule I can do services in home, virtually, in the community and also in my clinic in Elgin Il.

 

 In additional to being flexible in the booking location I can be just as flexible with your package and level of care for your loved one. From monthly to weekly to even bi weekly service options I am here to support your family!
