“I founded SereneKids Therapy with the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and achieve their full potential. My inspiration came from wanting to help my sister, who was born with a disability, strive to be the best version of herself. This led me to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy and dedicate my life to helping other children and families.

At SereneKids Therapy, we are committed to providing compassionate and tailored care that nurtures the whole child - mind, body, and spirit - and helps them reach their full potential.
