Celebrate the Senses, Therapy, Fun & Fitness for Children and Teens offers services to children of all ages and abilities. Mary Williams, OTR, saw a need to offer both individual and group opportunities where all children could develop their skills in a safe, fun environment. Individual and group sessions are offered both in the clinic, home and community so that the needs of the family can be met.
Mary Williams, OTR, has worked as an occupational therapist with teens, children, infants and their families since 1977. Yoga has become an integral part of her life and she is passionate about sharing this experience with her students. She is trained in Yoga for the Special ChildĀ®, LLC.
