Whole Child OT - Occupational Therapy with Sarah Gayle Schoenbaum, OT

Sarah and I worked together on Somatic Experience and in just one session, I experienced a huge shift! This shift allowed me to follow through with something that I had previously been struggling with and now amazingly is no problem at all! I was so surprised by how quickly and effectively this session worked for me. Sarah is nurturing, empathic, kind and intuitive so it was really easy for me to open up with her. She creates a very safe container and I felt her with me and attuned to my energy and needs throughout our session. She is well trained in many modalities that all play together and provide a hug of support. I highly recommend her!

What stands out to me about Sarah is her genuine care and compassion for each child, teen, and adult who has the privilege of being in her care. She uses her extensive training to serve each person from a holistic perspective based on solid scientific research. She is invested in the overall health and well-being of each person she interacts with, and that is why she gets results beyond other therapists. I am grateful for how she helped my teenage son and myself with the Tomatis Method. We both found this method to help us focus and reduce anxiety. Children of any age will benefit from Sarah's sound clinical reasoning, genuine care, and concern.

Sarah started working with my 4.5 year old daughter about 3 months ago. My daughter is selective on who she will allow around her and she is so welcoming to Sarah. In the last 3 months we have seen a lot of growth and improvements. She has been following instructions, sitting and completing tasks, using her words, and overall keeping herself more regulated. Sarah is so kind and patient. We have really enjoyed working with her.

Sarah is great at taking a different approach than your typical clinical OT. My son actually looked forward to his time with Sarah instead of dreading it like other therapies. Her unique approach is just what my son needed to be successful in OT.

Sarah has been lovely OT for our son - we have been working together the last couple months and she has been the best addition to our family helped us learn how to help our son with his sensory integration and life has been so much calmer since she joined us!

I worked with Sarah using somatic experiencing to reduce the residual trauma from a car accident. After our sessions I was no longer triggered when I was driving on crowded streets. I am SO grateful for our work together.

Sarah has been working with my son for a few months now and we have seen such improvement in his fine motor skills already. I highly suggest her service.
