Jackie has been such an incredible light and resource for our family. We have a 3 year old who has been actively engaged with her OT program for the last several months and we are seeing incredible results. Even more importantly, Jackie has provided insightful, powerful coaching sessions along our journey to truly encourage us in the day to day struggles of parenting a challenging child. She has
offered actionable ideas that impact our every day routine in a positive way. Above all, she has made me feel seen as a mother in the most powerful way and makes me feel supported/heard in the most challenging and rewarding role of my life. Her support and value is immeasurable and I truly count her as one of the key players in our village of raising our child.
Our three year old had been working with Jackie for the last six months and counts down to his time with her. Their bond is so sweet and he truly trusts her guidance and suggestions, often taking strides that challenge his boundaries in a safe environment. Her impact is felt within our home on a daily basis and we look forward to her visits each week.

We feel so fortunate to have found Jacqueline to help our son with his handwriting. She come to our
house or met our son in a nearby park and kept him engaged and happy the entire time. She has such a
calm and nurturing presence and is just a lovely person. Our son's handwriting improved exponentially
and his teachers commented and praised him. Thank you Jacqueline!!

We were referred to Jackie through our family therapist. We were unsure of how she could help our son with his anxiety but wanted to do everything possible for him. Within the first few minutes of meeting her I knew we had made the right decision. She has such a calm and welcoming personality and we felt immediately at ease, including our son who normally takes time to "warm up" to new people. Jackie explained how the sessions would work and we were so impressed with her in depth knowledge of how it works inside his body. She explained it in a way that I could make sense of it even I didn't fully understand. Jackie is also an incredible listener, not just with our son but, with us during our Parent Meetings. We absolutely appreciated her willingness to include us and show us how our efforts at home help our son in his life at school and in the world. She is incredibly kind, gracious and an amazing resource for us. We are so grateful to have her expertise!
Our son is kind, funny, smart and also has anxiety that can at times be debilitating. As he was nearing the transition to middle school from elementary his family therapist suggested that OT would be a way for him to learn how to manage his anxiety. Our son immediately felt comfortable with Jackie and as he worked through his anxiety, she gently followed and guided at the same time. He would look forward to seeing her every week and even requested extended times, even as the dark and cold of winter approached. Within a handful of sessions, anxiety regulation was improving and he was communicating his feelings and needs more effectively. It was like a gift! His SSP sessions has turned so much around for him and we are so grateful! As we continue on this with him, we know that it will help him unveil the strong person he is while allowing him to have the sensitivity that makes him such a light in this world. We cannot thank Jackie enough for all that she has done and for all that she means to our family!
