helping families create environments that facilitate development and learning through play and daily activities.
Hi! I’m Hannah!
HOUSTON'S EXPERIENCED HOLISTIC THERAPIST SPECIALIZING IN FEEDING AND DEVELOPMENTWith over 20 years of experience, I have the passion and experience to help your family work through challenges you might encounter - starting the day your baby is born - specifically with feeding, development, and meeting specific milestones.
I am really good at seeing ways to modify and accommodate hectic life happenings and offer practical simple solutions. I’ve been told I am calming to the nervous system. And when our nervous system is calm, our brain is primed for learning and growing!
Let me guess…
-
You have a new baby… maybe you already have littles running around. Baby is having trouble feeding and sleeping. They seem gassy and fussy all the time. You’ve been experiencing colic or witching hours during the day. And the reflux, poor weight gain, or tongue tie has you going crazy.
-
Maybe you’re noticing they have a preference for looking in one direction or the other. Maybe their head shape is changing or they have been diagnosed with Torticollis or Plagiocephaly.
-
You’re trying to introduce a bottle but baby is refusing. You’re working on a sleep routine but baby wants nothing to do with it. They only want to sleep on, or with you. You’re hoping for a smooth sleep routine but can’t find one that works for your family.

"Hannah is always patient with answering questions and is a great teacher. She is able to explain what she is observing with a skilled eye in a way you can understand."

"We have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Hannah for about 3 years now. My daughter has complex needs and delays and Hannah has helped her make progress with sensory defensiveness, self feeding, coloring, dressing, following directions, and so much more! Hannah has a nice balance of loving her and pushing her to do more. She comes up with fun and novel ways to make her work without her knowing it! Hannah approaches therapy with my daughter as a whole person, so she often integrates play, her likes/dislikes, OT, PT and speech goals into her sessions. She also gives me extra support, help and problems solving for challenges at home. Our whole family loves Ms. Hannah and we would recommend her without hesitation!"

"Hannah was such a breath of fresh air to work with! She saw my daughter after open heart surgery and worked with her daily. Not only was she genuinely concerned and focused on how my daughter was doing, she carried that kindness and helped me get through the hardest chapter of my life.
The biggest thing that I can say about Hannah is TRUST!!! I put 100% trust in Hannah to have my child’s needs met and my mommy heart safe. She is someone you can depend on and you walk away not only seeing an enormous positive change in your child, but a part of your soul fulfilled! She will do whatever it takes to see results and will use her voice to advocate for your baby when you feel like you’ve lost your own. We are forever grateful for our time with Hannah!! "
— Becky S.
"Occupational Therapy with Hannah was a perfect fit for my daughter’s feeding needs and for me – a worrisome NICU mama. While Hannah helped my daughter transition from bottle feedings to solid foods, she also helped me stay calm. As a mom who was terrified of feeding her baby, I felt empowered by Hannah’s kind encouragement and extensive knowledge. I’m very thankful for her!"
