Empowering children to succeed in life and reach their goals.

Empowering Misunderstood Kids: Courtney's Mission
One of the biggest challenges facing children and parents today is when children are misunderstood or mis-labeled as being stubborn or difficult. Through Courtney’s work, she is able to provide insight into what a child’s behaviors mean and the underlying concerns impacting their development so they can enjoy being a child and play, learn and grow to the fullest.
Courtney realized there was a great need for the kind of therapy she specializes in because many children may not qualify for any of the common childhood diagnoses such as ADD and Autism but still struggle physically, socially, and/or academically. These difficulties often stem from Sensory Processing Disorder. Due to this oversight, the children tend to slip under the radar and do not receive the services they need. This is why she has dedicated her life’s work to supporting, guiding and empowering these children.
