About Nancy

Nancy has been a physical therapist since 1989. She has also been a lecturer since 2003. One of Nancy’s gifts is her ability to properly diagnose the child and create a treatment plan. It may require treatment from other professionals. Her keen eye and nearly 30 years as a physical therapist in a hospital, out-patient clinic, private practice and Early Intervention contribute to years and scores of children that she has treated. She has successfully worked with thousands of babies. At times she evaluates a child and does not suggest treatment due to the quality and trajectory of the child’s motor development. Sometimes she sends them to an opthamologist, orthopedist, neurologist, geneticist, or back to their pediatrician. She not only measures the current level of the child or baby, but looks to see if there might be an underlying problem. Her candor and intelligence leads her families in the proper direction to mitigate the delays or difficulties that her patient is experiencing. Many pediatricians refer exclusively to Nancy because of her calm, gentle approach to working with all types of motor disorders.

Nancy draws on her dance, yoga, Feldenkrais®, Anat Baniel Method™ for Children and Pilates background. In addition to being a physical therapist Nancy graduated as a certified Feldenkrais® practitioner in 1994. She began studying with Anat Baniel in 1997 and became a certified Anat Baniel Method™ for Children practitioner in 2006. She has given workshops at Feldenkrais® Regional & National Conference. Nancy created the course, “A Fresh Approrach to Torticollis,” a one day workshop workshop that P.T.’s and O.T.’s use to renew their professional licesnces throughout the United States. She has been a guest lecturer in Italy and Turkey. Nancy holds a degree in physical therapy B.S. from New York University, 1989 and a B.A. from Connecticut College in Italian Studies and Dance, 1980.
