ABOUT ME
Felicia De Lima, PT, DPT -
Baby Development & Movement Expert
I work with caregivers to unlock their child's potential across various areas but focusing more specifically on movement ability within their environment. Using socio-emotional tools, neuro-developmental tools, and holistic perspectives to help the child improve function while also helping caregivers understand how to incorporate these activities into their lifestyle for the most efficient outcome.
​
I strongly believe in the power of collaboration, using the environment to promote interaction, and coordinating with other professionals for the highest level of success. For this reason, I am also passionate about furniture modifications, working with personal trainers, chiropractors, holistic medical professionals as well as daycares.
​
When I am not working with other families, I am busy being a mom to my three children. I also spend time sharing the mats with my husband practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I am currently using every chance I get to incorporate holistic practices into my family life as well as my practice.
MY APPROACH
Health, Movement, Wellbeing
Health matters!Health is wealth!Movement is health!
My approach is based in the belief that repetition is fundamental. My goal is to teach parents fun, repeatable activities that help the child feel more confident in exploring new movements and activities. As a therapist, I have always looked at the child as a whole versus only focusing on the physical development. Each area of development impacts the others. Now, I have begun to include nutritional health considerations into the discussion on how to help the child reach the highest level of function.
