My Story

I have always known the water is a powerful place for growth! While working as an occupational therapist in an outpatient clinic, I began to see a clear pattern. Parents were consistently asking for more. They wanted more ways to help their children build confidence, more specialized environments for movement, and more aquatic-based options.

Little Waves was created to meet that specific need. I have a deep passion for aquatic therapy, and bringing this specialized service to our community brings me so much joy! By moving into the water, I can apply clinical OT principles to an environment that offers unique sensory and physical benefits. It is a wonderful, playful space for children to practice their skills and discover what they are capable of!
