Client

“Strong Roots OT was a HUGE support to us in the first months of our little one's life. As first time parents with lots of questions, it was so helpful to have Paula - who was knowledgeable, kind, and consistently available - to give us encouragement and trustworthy information to ease our minds. It meant so much have explanations for things we were seeing and education on what to anticipate as our baby developed. Paula eased my worried new mama mind and gave us a strong foundation to foster our son's development and happiness. We will be calling her up for our next, for sure!!”

– J.Bucolo

“Paula has been a huge blessing to our family! When our newborn was struggling Paula knew exactly how to show us what to do to help him. She handled our child as if he was her very own and also quickly stole the heart of our 3 year old. She easily became the highlight of our week when she would show up for our sessions with encouragement and so much wisdom to share. Thanks to Paula’s expertise my son is now thriving and hitting every milestone and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better therapist!”

– Y. DeVine.
