Lorni's Unique Approach
I promise to always respect your child’s individuality and personal integrity. Acceptance of a child is a prerequisite to change. Therapy is structured around the child’s strengths, interests, and rhythms. It involves developing a relationship, finding ways to communicate, observing needs, and listening to what is being communicated both verbally and nonverbally.
types of therapy
- Healthy Baby Sessions: Learn more about your infant’s development, tune into your baby more fully, and strengthen your baby’s early attachment.
- Baby-Parent Play Groups: Meet other parents and babies, and witness the developmental learning process as it unfolds through engaged play and communication.
- Baby Therapy and Consulting Sessions: Learn to better facilitate your baby’s comfort and support their growth and development through careful observation and attentive touch.
- Adopted Children Therapy: Strengthen your adopted child’s attachment to you.
- Sensory Issues, Behavioral Challenges, or Developmental Delays Therapy: Developmental Movement Therapy can help: babies who are delayed in meeting developmental benchmarks like lifting their head, rolling over, or crawling; children who are over- or under- reactive to particular sensations (like clothing, sound, temperature, and pain); children who are easily over-stimulated, need to move non-stop, or seem slow to pick up on certain motor skills.
