Watching The Openshaw Spot grow while watching Theo grow up beside it all feels a little surreal. 🥹

Started with a dream, a few therapy toys, and a whole lot of figuring it out as I went. Now somehow there are multiple clinics, therapy swings in every room, and a little boy who’s been there through every step of it. 🤍🌊

Follow us on tik tok for more crazy adventures 🥰

☀️ The nice weather has arrived… and so have a few unexpected openings in our Machias & Milbridge schedules tomorrow! 🌊

Need a makeup session? Been waiting for an opening? Want an extra OT, SLP, or feeding therapy appointment before summer gets busy? Now’s your chance 👀

Maybe you've been on our waitlist for months.. tomorrow is your chance!

🎉 We also now have newly trained SOS feeding therapists at EACH location! (yay!!!)

Drop your kiddo off at therapy and:
🛍️ Grab a coffee or shop at Bayside or walk to the Milbridge Commons
🌳 Take a walk, go to Dunkin' or relax at the park in Machias
✅ Cross a few things off your to-do list while we do the hard work 😅

Message us or call to grab one of the available spots before they’re gone!

My mom’s an OT… and honestly? Theo is typically not to jazzed about it…

Anyone else an OT and a mom?

It’s not an easy job, but someone’s gotta teach kids how to regulate their bodies instead of body slamming the couch cushions. 😂🫶

Girls trip! 🥰

The kiddos we see are the reason these 3 therapists willingly signed up for a 4-day SOS 8-5 feeding course WITH tests 😳💙

Because behind every “picky eater” is usually sensory processing, anxiety, motor challenges, emotional regulation, or a kiddo trying their best. 🍓🍗

So yes… we’re spending our weekend getting tested on chicken nuggets and gag reflexes for the kids. 😂

Wish us luck!

Unpopular opinion: the iPad isn’t the problem… the transition OFF the iPad is where the real Olympics begin 😭💀 wait for the ending because Ollie and Theo are truly an unpaid actors 😂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms and caregivers in our community 💙

Thank you for the rides to therapy, the advocacy, the patience, the love, and all the little things you do every single day for your kiddos. 🌊🐚
