Infant Gross Motor Wellness Sessions

I’m here for you!

  • Assessment & Screening.

    Your Wellness Session begins with an assessment and screening of your baby's gross motor development. So you can have some peace of mind.

  • Play Ideas.

    Discover ways to play with your baby that supports their development and participate in each moment as it happens.

  • Learn What to Expect.

    When you have a frame of reference for what to expect along the continuum of gross motor development, you don’t have to obsess over whether they are meeting their milestones.

  • An Opportunity to Ask Questions.

    So you can stop losing out on sleep from all the guesswork and overwhelm of late night google searches.

  • Follow Up.

    You’ll get a follow up email with a written summary of our time together and activity ideas that we discussed.

  • Support.

    You don’t need to navigate this alone! You’ll have phone and email access for any follow up questions you have for 1 month following your session.

What People Are Saying.

 

“We have a fourteen month old daughter whose favorite activities are reading books and pushing her cart. She’s definitely not afraid to be adventurous! Our daughter is happy and healthy and we attribute much of this to Jen and her wellness visits. Throughout [our daughter’s] first year, Jen would coach us on different strategies for tummy time, crawling, and walking, helping us better interact with her and reducing new parent anxiety.
Jen is a definite asset to any new Mom! We feel blessed to know her!”

— Kelly M.

“As a first-time mom I had no idea what to expect. I had lots of amazing support from friends and family but oftentimes it was just overwhelming. Jen was the magic glue to it all. She came over for a wellness visit when our son was just shy of 3 months old, to assure, support, and give us guidance where needed. We used her easy tips and tricks to be more active in our son’s development. We continued to engage Jen a few times before he turned 1 for the same reasons. Our son is a happy and healthy 1-year old and we are so lucky to have had Jen in his life early on.”

— Gaby M.

  • Physical Therapy for Infants operates out-of-network with all insurance companies, and accepts payment for services at the time of your session.

    Wellness Sessions are not physical therapy evaluation or treatment, therefore, insurance companies do not usually cover this type of service.

  • No. A Wellness Session is purely for educational purposes only. It is not considered, or a substitute for, physical therapy services. Therefore, you do not need a referral to access a Wellness Session.

  • Wellness sessions are best suited for you if you do not have specific concerns about your baby’s mobility, but want to learn about infant gross motor development.

    You want to learn how to play with your baby during their current stage of development. Or how to set up the play environment in a way that creates natural opportunities for movement. You want to know what you can expect in the coming months and to nurture purposeful, intentional, and meaningful gross motor skills.

    Wellness sessions are not a substitute for physical therapy evaluation or treatment.

  • Payment Policy:

    Payment is due at the time of scheduling, in full.

    If fees are not paid in full, the session may be postponed or cancelled until payment is received.

    Cancellation Policy:

    While we understand that illnesses and emergencies occur, we respectfully request that you avoid cancellations or “no shows.”

    All cancellations require 24 hours notice and there will be a $40 charge for any cancellations resulting from a conflicting appointment, vacation, or any other event, made less than 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. The fee will be directly billed to the client.

    In-Person No Shows:

    If the therapist arrives to your home and you are not present for your appointment, you forfeit the full cost of the session and you will not be refunded.

    We reserve the right to cancel your appointment for any reason at any time. If this occurs, you will receive a full refund.

    Virtual No Shows:

    If you are more than 15 minutes late to your virtual visit, you will be considered a "no show" and you forfeit the full cost of the session. You will not be refunded.

    If you are less than 15 minutes late to your virtual visit, you will be able to keep your appointment. However, your session will still end at the scheduled time, and you will not receive a refund for the missed time.
