ABOUT US

Help for the Whole Child uses 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. 

 

I teach caregivers to implement 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, reflex inhibition, 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 do in home sessions, virtual sessions, and I also work in the clinic in Hoffman estates.  

​

In additional to being flexible in the booking location we 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 get your loved one well.
