Our son, Dominic, was born in October and four days after his birth we received a surprise diagnosis of Down syndrome. We were shocked and felt lost on where to go from there and how to help our son in the best way possible. We connected with several therapists at Shine Therapy and they’ve paved the way for us and Dominic! We work with physical therapist Michelle….we walk away from each physical therapy session with more knowledge and encouragement. Michelle has been so observant with everything about Dominic and voiced concerns that she had that we followed up with the doctor on. Michelle is so friendly to work with and her care and compassion for Dominic really shine through as she works with him. We have seen him make such big strides since starting therapy a few months ago.
We are also working with Kristin for Feeding Therapy. Kristin has been so encouraging to me with my breast-feeding goals. When we started out, I was unsure of if Dominic would be able to ever primarily breast-feed or not and Kristin was so encouraging and also reassuring that whichever avenue Dominic takes will be the best avenue for him. I am always uplifted during our appointments that I’m making good choices with our son’s care and always feel rejuvenated that what we’ve done over the past month helped put us in the right direction. We have been so impressed by Shine Therapy and plan to recommend them to anyone that we may encounter that needs therapy services in this area.
