More About Lindsay

Why Families Choose Us

Postpartum can be overwhelming. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
Resources are everywhere — but what’s trustworthy, professional, and proven?
Pediatrician visits are limited to medical care and brief.

We fill the gaps with comprehensive developmental support.

“Lindsay has been an absolute angel in our lives. She is a wonderful, sweet and patient person. My son loves going to the gym to see Mrs. Lindsay, and has come leaps and bounds in so many ways since seeing her, especially in sensory areas that I found other OTs didn’t quite understand. And, she’s always been extremely helpful to answer my questions when I felt overwhelmed or defeated. I look forward to therapy days as much as my son because I know he will get all of his sensory needs met and will learn new things and have a much better week because of it. There’s no one I trust more to be my kid’s biggest cheerleader!!”

“I’ve known Lindsay professionally since we were in OT school. She has more than 17 years experience working in a multitude of pediatric settings. She is well-versed in sensory integration, fine and visual motor interventions, play therapy, and is truly a client and family centered therapist. Her expertise in child development drives her therapy sessions and aides her clients in mastery of their goals. Her clinic spaces offer two state-of-the-art sensory gyms that were designed by Lindsay herself. If you are looking for your child to truly reach their potential, then you should contact Lindsay for a consultation.”
