What if therapy didn’t feel like therapy at all?

​

When your child is struggling with sensory needs, emotions, school, independence, or everyday activities, it can be hard to know where to turn. Sometimes, children simply need a different way to learn and grow. Jade takes therapy outside the traditional approach, using, movement, play, and connection to help children build skills in a way that feels natural and engaging.

​

With more than 15 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist, Jade has worked across primary care, home and community care, hospital rehabilitation, pediatric private practice, and school-based services. She has supported children with autism, ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder, physical disabilities, sensory differences, and social-emotional challenges, giving her a wealth of experience understanding the unique needs of each child.

​

As a mom of three boys, Jade understands that therapy needs to fit into real family life. Her approach is neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-focused, and play-based, focusing on what children can do and using their interests and strengths as a starting point for growth.

​

Jade has specialized training in TimberNook nature-based therapy and sensory integration. She believes that a child’s work is play, and uses the natural environment to create opportunities for movement, sensory exploration, problem-solving, confidence, and independence.

​

Jade works with toddlers, children, and tweens, supporting sensory integration, social-emotional skills, school-based needs, independence, and meaningful participation in everyday life.

​

Her goal is to help children feel understood, capable, and confident enough to explore what they can do.

​

Outside of work, Jade finds her own sense of peace in nature and can often be found exploring the forest with her three boys.
