I work with the parents, guardians, and coordinated care team of my clients to develop an individualized plan of exercise and nutritional support to bring the highest level of health to your child's life.
I create exercise and nutrition plans based on the abilities of your child and create a safe and supportive environment for positive socialization and reinforcement of healthy habits through exercise and nutritional counseling.
