Heather’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of personal experiences and professional dedication. Growing up in northern Virginia, Heather moved to Penn State University to study Organizational Psychology, a field that laid the groundwork for her analytical and empathetic approach to her later career. After college, her life took a profound turn when her son Padraic was diagnosed with Autism, leading her to discover the world of Autism and Occupational Therapy. This pivotal moment inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in occupational therapy from Temple University.
Since 2007, Heather has diligently expanded her expertise, earning advanced trainings and certifications in Sensory Integration and Praxis, The Tomatis Method, Reflex Integration, Therapeutic Listening, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and DIR Floortime. Her commitment to continuous learning ensures that she provides her clients with the most current and evidence-based techniques available. Heather’s role as an Occupational Therapy practitioner brings her immense joy and fulfillment. She feels privileged to be part of the lives of each family she encounters, always believing in the limitless potential of every individual. As both a practice owner and a parent, Heather champions the philosophy of presuming intellect in all her clients. Residing in Media, Pennsylvania with her husband and youngest son, Heather cherishes time spent with her grown children and enjoys outdoor activities, particularly those involving the water in Delaware State Parks. Her life and career are beautifully intertwined, driven by a profound sense of gratitude and a commitment to making a difference. |
