Hey there! I’m Sara! I am a national board-certified, registered, and licensed Occupational Therapist in NYS. I have a passion for thinking outside of the box and providing individualized care specific to each child and family. I’ve completed specialized training in sensory processing integration and am a Certified Primitive Reflex Clinical Specialist (CPRCS). Additionally, as a Certified Yoga Teacher, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Boston Yoga School, and my 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training and 30-hour Kids Yoga Training with Yoga Renew. I’m also a Certified Holistic Health Coach, completing my schooling with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
Since receiving my Masters in Occupational Therapy from Gannon University in 2019, I’ve had the rare opportunity to service children from birth-18 years within various settings that include acute care, outpatient care, early intervention care within homes, daycares and preschools and school-based care.
As the founder of Little Roots Occupational Therapy & Yoga, I’m excited to offer a family-friendly and ease-of-service experience to children and families, through individualized occupational therapy services and group movement classes. I believe in a simpler healthcare model, where the child’s/family’s time is maximized every minute they are with me, and the nonsense is left at the door. I believe in working closely with the family to discover the root cause of a child’s difficulties, and providing specialized care to improve their functional independence and every day abilities. I understand that every child is on their own developmental journey, and therefore believe in a family-centered, child-led, strength-based, holistic approach to my work!
Living in Tully, NY with my husband, three sons (my oldest two are identical twins) and two dogs (boxer mixed breeds), we enjoy everything outside and anything fun! When I’m not in treatments with children and families or teaching yoga, I love reading, baking sourdough bread, playing volleyball and above all else, spending quality time with my family.
