What Families are Saying:
-
"Emily is an absolutely amazing therapist. Our son has been working with her for a few years now and we have seen so many great changes in his eating habits. She taught us as a family to rephrase the way we speak about food with and around him. Since meeting Emily, Jude is less hesitant to try new things and is actually excited to experience different texture and new flavors. We love her being apart of our village!"

"We're so thankful for Ms. Emily and everything she's done for our daughter. She was incredibly kind and patient, and made therapy a fun, safe place again after a tough past experience. My little one now LOVES OT and always looks forward to seeing her! Ms. Emily helped us create a safe space for mealtimes and encouraged us to try new foods with her. She's truly a shining star, so loved by all the kids and we feel so lucky to have had her support on this journey."

"My daughter has been receiving occupational therapy services from Emily for several years now, and the transformation we’ve seen has been truly incredible—especially when it comes to her challenges with picky eating. What once felt like a daily battle over meals has become an exciting journey of discovery, thanks to Emily’s thoughtful and engaging approach. Emily has a unique gift for connecting with children in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, and empowered. She has turned food exploration into something fun and approachable, helping my daughter build confidence and curiosity around trying new foods. Because of Emily’s strategies, my daughter has now willingly sampled foods I never imagined she would even consider. But what sets Emily apart is not just her skill—it’s her heart. She takes the time to understand each child individually and provides practical suggestions that go beyond the therapy session. She’s even recommended places where we could find specific foods to make the experience more accessible and enjoyable for my daughter. It’s clear that she truly cares. As a parent, I know how essential proper nutrition is for our children’s growth, learning, and emotional well-being. The progress my daughter has made with Emily’s help has supported her not just physically, but emotionally and socially as well. Her confidence has grown, and she now looks forward to time spent with Emily, which speaks volumes. I’m so grateful for the impact Emily has had on our family’s life, and I’m thrilled to support her as she builds her business. She is doing vital work that every parent of a sensory-sensitive or selective eater should know about. If you’re looking for someone who will truly partner with you in your child’s health and development, look no further than Emily."
