Parents Recommend

Clare Graser,

San Anselmo, CA

"I was so grateful for Tonya's wisdom and expertise. I was completely unprepared for the worry and anxiety of new motherhood. I felt panicked every time I looked at a developmental milestones checklist. In our sessions I was able to express my fears and concerns freely which was not something I felt comfortable sharing with my pediatrician. She helped put my mind at ease along with providing numerous tips, tricks, and activities to get me and my little one bonded and his motor skills moving in the right direction."  ​

Teal Brown, 

San Rafael, CA

"My daughter was walking on her toes - well beyond 18 months - and had no obvious reason to be having a developmental delay that I could understand. Tonya provided a safe space to ask the worrisome parent questions that the doctor was unable to answer. She helped me by not only quelling my concerns, but was able to identify the reason for the toe walking. She was able to give us home exercises to help my daughter develop."

Yea Flicker,

Lagunitas, CA

"Tonya is truly gifted in her chosen profession. She has an intuitive eye that sees things that completely escape other providers. As a new mom I was preparing to buy all sorts of baby gear that were highly recommended in my moms' forums. Tonya advised me that research showed some of these devices could hinder my child's development. Tonya was also able to address a feeding issue where my daughter was stuffing food in her mouth causing choking and gagging. I am eternally grateful for her insights and advise. It was priceless, especially considering the impact that early intervention can have on your child's development."
