Meet Lindsay

Lindsay is a licensed occupational therapist specializing in pediatrics, sensory processing disorders and infant and child development. Embarking on 17 years of practicing within the profession, Lindsay created Developing Darlings, LLC as a means to work closer with parents and their little ones during the early stages of development and parenthood. In 2025, Lindsay obtained her Reiki Level I and II Certification to enhance her practice abilities and further connect Moms and babies during the postpartum period.

Lindsay graduated from Towson University in Maryland after completing her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. She began the first three years of her career as a school-based OT also working within early intervention and the home environment. Lindsay then discovered that the private practice/outpatient setting was her true calling; being able to work directly with the families and children to help the overall daily functioning of the family unit. She completed the University of Southern California Chan Sensory Integration Continuing Education (CE) Certificate Program, which provided extensive training of over 100 hours in sensory integration and related areas (certificate #861).

Lindsay has also participated in various courses to enhance her knowledge in feeding disorders, executive functioning and self-regulation, integrating primitive reflexes, ADHD and anxiety-based disorders, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorders) and the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum. In 2019, Lindsay founded and opened, Happy Hearts Therapy, LLC, which provides pediatric occupational, physical, and speech therapy services for children in the Charleston area.

Lindsay's journey brought her to Charleston, South Carolina in 2018 from Baltimore, Maryland. She enjoys sharing in life's adventures with her family and friends, and spending time relaxing on the beach and water.

Lindsay is a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) and the South Carolina Occupational Therapy Association (SCOTA). After serving on the SCOTA board as the Lowcountry District Chair for 3 years, Lindsay was elected as President of the SCOTA where she currently serves. In addition, Lindsay also maintains active accreditation with the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT).

  • “Lindsay, OT and owner of Happy Hearts Therapy is wonderful. She’s very knowledgeable, great with kids and very compassionate. Her gyms at Happy Hearts are state-of-the-art with all the latest equipment to treat a wide variety of sensory needs. Lindsay always goes above and beyond to do whatever it takes to help my son be successful in all areas. She listens to my concerns and is always available for advice and support when I have a concern. I would highly recommend!”
