Hannah is passionate about helping children feel safe, understood, and empowered within their bodies. Her work emphasizes neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based care that prioritizes co-regulation, autonomy, and meaningful participation. She has a special interest in integrating sensory processing, praxis, and interoception into feeding therapy in ways that support connection, confidence, and joyful engagement in everyday life.
