Hi, I’m Stephanie.
As the founder of Action Forward and a dedicated parent of a child with a disability, I understand the challenges families face firsthand.
With over 17 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist specializing in children of all ages and difficulties, I bring unparalleled expertise and compassion to my work.
Navigating the complexities of managing both my professional practice and family life has equipped me with a wealth of effective strategies, all rooted in simplicity.
My personal journey, intertwined with the establishment and evolution of Action Forward, has been one of resilience, growth, and redefinition.
I am deeply passionate about empowering individuals and families to thrive despite the daily impact of disability and life demands.
Through periods of relentless dedication and moments of self-discovery, I’ve realized that positive progress doesn’t have to come at the cost of personal well-being.
It’s my mission to empower parents of children with disabilities to find joy and fulfillment in their work, in their parenting journey, in their relationships with others and them self without succumbing to exhaustion or overwhelm.
By implementing the lessons I’ve learned along the way, I’ve embraced a more balanced approach, prioritizing family time, setting clear boundaries, and carving out space for self-care.
My journey, both professionally and personally, has enriched me with invaluable insights that I am eager to share with you. Together, we’ll create tailored solutions, prioritizing quality time for your family while achieving remarkable progress in your family goals.
