Caterina has always been helpful in brainstorming ways for me to be more independent. She’s given me ideas for dressing, toilet transfers, school, and other activities of daily living. She’s always been able to challenge me appropriately, and she has helped me to understand and explain my body mechanics to others. The sessions we had together were both productive and enjoyable. She would always about my goals for our sessions and help me progress towards them.

Our entire family whole-heartedly recommends Caterina. We first met when our son was just a few months old to help him with his low muscle tone due to Down syndrome. He is now a teenager and thriving by regularly running and dancing! Catarina is skilled at her profession as well as making connections with her clients. She truly cares about the families she serves - we are blessed to know her!
