Hi! My name is Jennifer. I have been a Pediatric Occupational Therapist since 2001 and had the privilege of adding holistic wellness coaching to my services in 2020. This allows me to offer a full, well-rounded view of how to help my clients reach their maximum potential, starting at a cellular level with nutrition.

Health Mastery Institute, where I received my health coaching certification, is Liana Shanti’s life-changing science-based health coaching program. It is all-encompassing, as it looks at nutrition with a big-picture focus on the mind, body, and spirit. My O.T. clients will be best served to increase functional skills when their bodies are nourished with whole, high-vibrating foods.

Meshing nutritional science and O.T. brings healing results that exceed expectations and empower opportunities for increased functionality. Along this journey of life and education, I found myself personally and professionally drawn to learning as much as I could about eating and feeding—the techniques, food consistencies, sensory components to eating, trauma-related eating disorders, and much more. My Occupational Therapy degree and my undergraduate degree in Psychology have allowed me to pull from this knowledge of understanding the mental health aspects of the role of food in a person's life. We all need food for nourishment in our lives to function. Whether it is basic daily life skills or a focused sport with higher level needs of an athlete, I am excited to help kids, teens, and families in any way I can. Being an O.T. with a nutritional wellness certification has genuinely been a blessing as I use this to serve those who align with my approach.

In Occupational Therapy, I work with kids and teens to empower them to be as independent as possible at their current level of function while working with the family to establish personalized goals for each child.

In my personal life, I enjoy art, photography, and music. You can follow my art journey on Instagram here.
