Supporting Children & Families Through Play-Based Occupational Therapy

Tailored programs for neurodivergent children and adults.

Who is the Poop Lady OT?

You may be here because of my Poop Lady OT persona. I'm Anna, an occupational therapist who never grew out of thinking poop jokes were funny. I believe in bringing child-led therapies to pelvic floor treatment to get your child feeling confident in the bathroom. I love supporting neurodivergent kids to become successful in toileting, but there is a lot more to Restorative Relief than that!

Play-Based

Play is a child’s most important “job.” Real, lasting progress happens when a child is authentically and joyfully engaged. By using play as our primary tool, we turn therapeutic goals into meaningful, motivating experiences.

Made for Sharing

Let's stay in touch

Relationship-Focused

Progress begins with a foundation of trust. I prioritize empathy and collaboration between the child, their caregivers, and myself, ensuring that everyone feels heard, safe, and supported throughout the journey.

Child-Led

In a world where children are often told what to do and how to act, my sessions offer a different path. By allowing the child to guide the session, we honor their autonomy, reduce “power struggles,” and tap into their natural curiosities.

Strengths-Based

Instead of focusing solely on “deficits,” we lead with what your child does best. Identifying and celebrating a child’s unique strengths builds the confidence they need to tackle challenges in other areas of their lives.

Regulation-First

Regulation is the foundation for all learning and participation. We focus on sensory, social, and emotional needs to help your child feel “steady” in their body, allowing them to engage more successfully in their daily activities.

Evidence-Based & Individualized

I am committed to staying at the forefront of clinical research, but I know that therapy is never “one-size-fits-all.” By blending proven methods with a deep understanding of each child’s unique profile, I ensure our tools are as individual as the families I serve.

Anna’s occupational therapy services are so good it’s honestly suspicious—like, is she secretly leveling up kids with a hidden XP bar? You walk in thinking, “We’ll just work on a few skills,” and Anna’s over there casually turning chaos into progress with the calm confidence of someone who has definitely negotiated with glitter, scissors, and big feelings before breakfast. Somehow she makes hard stuff feel doable, celebrates the tiniest wins like they’re Olympic medals, and leaves everyone—kids and parents—feeling like, “Wait… we can actually do this?” If occupational therapy had a fan club, Anna would be the president, the mascot, and the reason the merch keeps selling out.
