Hello! My name is Lila. I hold a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from SUNY Downstate in New York and am currently licensed and practice in the state of Vermont.
I was drawn to Occupational Therapy (OT) because of its hands-on, holistic approach to helping people build confidence and increase independence in the areas of life that matter most to them. Before becoming an OT, I spent several years working in education—as an art teacher and a preschool assistant teacher—which deeply shaped my understanding of child development and the importance of creative, nurturing environments. Occupational Therapy felt like a natural next step, allowing me to combine my passion for education, creativity, and human connection in a meaningful and impactful way.
My passion for infant massage grew from personal experience. A year after my son was born, I discovered infant massage and immediately wished I had known about it earlier. Not only would it have supported my son’s development and helped soothe his tiny body, but it would have been a powerful tool for our entire family to promote relaxation and bonding. For my husband, who was a first-time father unfamiliar with handling and comforting a newborn, infant massage could have offered him a practical, meaningful, hands-on way to connect and bond with our baby. That experience lit a spark in me to help other families discover this beautiful practice—one that supports not just babies, but also the caregivers who love and nurture them.
