Nicole is absolutely amazing! Our son is very quiet and shut down towards people he doesn't know, he warmed up to Nicole and she had him engaged within 5 minutes. She gave him and us so many practical helpful tools to overcome his barriers and we can even use these tools to help our toddler. It is so obvious this is Nicole's passion, I highly recommend her to any family that has kiddos struggling socially, emotionally (or in other areas). We have seen amazing improvements in our sons confidence and emotional regulation. So grateful our daycare recommended her to us 🙂

I have worked with Nicole both as a parent seeking services for my child and as an educator seeking knowledge and training.

As a parent, it was amazing to see the progress my child made with Nicole. She was positive and loving but knew when to push to help her grow. Nicole supported my daughter’s social emotional development, gross motor skills and fine motor skills. She was flexible and creative; bringing strategies and suggestions that were designed to support my daughter's unique needs. Nicole was a huge factor in my child’s successful transition into Preschool.

As a fellow educator, Nicole gets kids. She understands the diverse needs that an early childhood classroom brings. Her strategies were practical and realistic for our day-to-day operations. Not only did Nicole provide an amazing refresher for best practices she also introduced us to a variety of new ideas, games and activities to further support development. Nicole brings a positive, calm energy into our program and we can’t wait until we get to work with her again.

My husband and I sought Nicole out after our son had started kindergarten and been identified as having difficulties with fine motor activities. After a comprehensive meeting with my husband and I, Nicole met with our son and assessed his needs. She worked with us to develop a scope and sequence of activities for him. She worked with him weekly and sent home detailed reports each week so that we could follow up and work through activities at home as well.
Nicole was positive, energetic and compassionate throughout our time with her. She was a great communicator and our son loved his time working with her. Our son made amazing gains with her help and even his teacher noticed his exponential growth with fine motor activities.
I would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for an occupational therapist.

I initially contacted Nicole because my son had just started kindergarten, and his teacher had already pulled me aside to discuss his weak fine motor skills. After my initial meet with Nicole, I knew she would be an excellent fit for my son. She is positive, encouraging, and kept the activities interesting to keep his attention.
Not long after, I asked Nicole to administer a formalized assessment of my son’s fine motor skills, so I could have a better idea of the areas he was struggling in. Through this process, Nicole identified a severe delay in visual perceptual skills and a mild-moderate delay in motor coordination. Both of which were contributing to his fine motor difficulties.
As a teacher myself, I can honestly say Nicole brought with her strategies and suggestions that I had not come across in my 13 years of teaching on how to best support him. It is almost a year later now, and my son has progressed immensely because of her help. I highly value and recommend Nicole’s services as an Occupational Therapist.

Nicole is an amazing occupational therapist! She set up 4 different professional development evenings with my work and they were all exceptional. I learned more in the few hours of PD than in years of post secondary schooling. My favorite part of PD with Nicole is that she makes it realistic. She understands that having undivided time with a child isn't always possible so she gives your tips and tricks of what you can do in group situations. I walked away from learning with her and was able to immediately apply new strategies into my everyday work and home life. 10/10 I would reccomend Nicole to any parent!

We had an incredibly positive experience having Nicole as our doula for the birth of our baby girl in January 2021. She provided reassurance and support exactly when needed and helped to keep me feeling calm and in control. The prenatal and postnatal sessions were also so informative and enjoyable. I’m so glad we chose Nicole to be part of the our birth experience...she was amazing!

Nicole was a great help with the birth of our first son in March. The prenatal sessions were informative and helpful for both me and my spouse. She was a positive, encouraging force to have during the birth. Definitely recommend hiring her even if you're not a first time mom.

Nicole, the OT, comes to my house to help my two kids with fine motor skills and social skills.
She is hard working , and puts her heart and soul into all the work she does.
She has helpful tools and strategies that she gives each child with a special positive energy ,that they look forward to each visit.
she works in your environment; which is amazing because I have a little baby, and was very hard for me to take my kids to an office.
she gives you , parent, tips and tricks on how to deal best with your child to implement what they learned.
I highly recommend Nicole for your little ones if they need help in this area as she is the best OT I’ve come across so far.
