Johanna is a native Midwesterner who moved to Colorado for graduate school and fell so in love that she could not imagine herself anywhere else. She graduated from Colorado State University with a Masters in Occupational Therapy in 2021 and has worked in pediatrics ever since. Johanna is passionate about family-centered care and empowering families with tools to better support their kiddos to succeed and thrive. She understands the importance of play as an important way for children to learn and understand their environment. Johanna believes that the nervous system greatly impacts how we move in the world and seeks to create a safe space for all of her clients. She has experience in many areas of need including feeding, sensory processing, pelvic floor therapy, self-regulation, visual processing, and neurodiversity affirming care. In her free time, Johana enjoys reading, hiking, cooking new foods, playing board games, and challenging herself to learn new skills, the most recent being water color painting.

Elise is originally from Fort Collins but graduated from the University of New England in May of 2023 with her Masters in Occupational Therapy. She is passionate about meeting children where they’re at and promoting sessions that foster connection between the child and their family, natural environments, and themselves. Elise prioritizes establishing rapport with her clients, understanding that a child has to feel comfortable, capable, and safe in order to support their overall success. She has experience supporting children with challenges related to sensory processing, self-regulation, cognitive flexibility, visual motor, and  feeding/eating skills. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, hiking, camping, painting, cooking, and making clay earrings with her friends and family.
