OTier was built on a simple belief: children grow best when the adults around them are supported, and not overwhelmed. My work centers on the core foundations of early childhood, sleep, feeding, and developmental milestones, and how these everyday experiences are shaped by sensory processing, nervous system regulation, routines, and environment.

Occupational Therapist, & AWC Steering Committee Member I am a Master’s level Occupational Therapist who graduated from OT school in 1981. I have worked as an OT in a wide variety of settings and still love my work! Many years ago, I realized that people in pain do not want to do exercise. I started massaging my patients for a few minutes at the start of each treatment and found that I got a much better level of participation. Over the intervening years, I have developed my own method of using superficial myofascial release, a hands-on technique, to reduce pain and try to facilitate permanent soft tissue changes and healing.
