Hi, My name is Leah. I am currently on a hiatus in graduate school to become a Physical Therapist.

I have worked with three-month olds up to teenagers. I’m also CPR/First Aid Certified. I worked at a school for children with special needs. In the Physical Therapy Gym I have worked with children in many different facilities. I am fully vaccinated and follow COVID safety protocols. Please let me know if you would like to talk further.
