Is your child not yet rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking when expected?
Holistic pediatric physical therapy · Ages 0–5
Helping children move, play, and thrive.
Aligned Beginnings delivers holistic, child-centered care at your doorstep in Scottsdale and surrounding communities.
A thoughtful start
Child-centered therapy that fits into your family's world.
I build on each child's strengths and interests to support engagement, development, and meaningful progress.
I provide individualized care for children with a wide range of neurological and musculoskeletal needs, always tailoring support to the child in front of me. In a familiar environment, therapy feels more comfortable, carries over more naturally, and becomes part of everyday life.
What I treat
Specialized support for a wide range of needs.
Aligned Beginnings provides individualized pediatric physical therapy for children from birth through age five in Scottsdale and surrounding communities. My experience working with children across home, school, and early intervention settings allows me to support many different diagnoses, movement challenges, and developmental needs.

Every child is different. If you don't see your child's diagnosis listed, a free phone consultation is a great place to start.
Could physical therapy help?
You know your child best.
If something doesn't feel quite right, you don't have to wait and wonder. Early support can make a meaningful difference.
Does your child strongly prefer one side when looking, rolling, or reaching?
Does your baby have a flat spot or difficulty turning their head both directions?
Does your child seem unusually stiff or floppy?
Are balance, coordination, or frequent falls making movement more difficult?
Do you feel something isn't quite right—even after being told to “wait and see”?

Why mobile therapy?
Why add one more transition to your child's day?
I'll come to you. Sessions can take place at home, daycare, on a playground, or in another familiar community setting around Scottsdale. Children can work on meaningful skills where they actually use them—while parents receive practical coaching they can carry into the rest of the week.
Services & pricing
Choose the support that fits your family.
Physical therapy looks at the whole child—how they move, play, and interact with their environment—to create a plan that feels natural and achievable. Aligned Beginnings currently operates as a cash-pay practice, giving families clear costs up front and the flexibility to choose the support that fits their needs.

Specialized care
More tools to support your child's movement.
Every plan is individualized. When appropriate, I draw from specialized training and hands-on techniques to support comfort, motor control, coordination, strength, and participation.
Total Motion Release
A gentle, play-based approach used to assess and address postural asymmetries, movement restrictions, and developmental delays. Comfortable movements help support improved alignment and motor control.
Rhythmic Movement Training
Developmental movement patterns that may support body awareness, regulation, coordination, and a stronger foundation for movement.
Pediatric Kinesiotaping
Flexible therapeutic tape may be used to provide support and stability to muscles and joints while still allowing active play.
Orthotics Guidance
I can help determine whether additional foot or ankle support may benefit your child, discuss appropriate orthotic options, and guide your family through the referral, fitting, and acquisition process.
Adaptive Equipment Support
When equipment could improve positioning, mobility, play, or participation, I help identify appropriate options and support families through trials, recommendations, and the process of obtaining the equipment.
