What People Are Saying
“Heather truly cares for the well-being and overall development of the kids she works with. Her personal connection with my son made a significant difference in what he gained from therapy. Heather took the time to learn what motivated my son, when to push and when to let go. She related to me as a mother, sharing her own experiences to support me as well as my son. Had it not been for her commitment to helping my child he would not be where he is today!“
-Sarah W.
