🎉 Help us wish Miss Nikki a very happy birthday! 🎉

From collegiate bowler to licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Nikki has taken her passion for movement and connection across clinics, hospitals, and rehab centers—always helping people get back to the activities they love.

Now at Prairie Grit Therapy, she brings more than a decade of PT experience, a heart for kids, and a drive to make therapy both fun and meaningful. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her camping, hiking, crafting, cheering on sports, and spending time with her husband and two kids.

We’re so grateful to have her on our team—Happy Birthday, Nikki! 🧡

💪 October is Physical Therapy Month and now is the time to celebrate the movement, strength, and resilience that PT brings to every child’s journey.

At Prairie Grit Therapy, our PTs, Miss Kaari and Miss Nikki know that therapy isn’t just about exercises. It’s about building confidence, independence, and the joy of play. From the clinic floor to the gym to creative at-home strategies, they help kids grow stronger every day. 🧡

Join us this month in thanking our incredible PT team for the way they put Play with Purpose into action.

✨ Happy Birthday to this gem, Miss Nylah! ✨
She brings more energy than a double espresso and more creativity than a Pinterest board. She's found a way to fit in perfectly in a short time with our team (and the PG families). Drop a 🧡 to help us celebrate her today!

Meet Miss Lila!
Another new face here at PG. You'll mostly see Lila helping out with Little Gritters Preschool, making crafts, discovering the coolest science experiments, and rocking out to the "goodbye song."

Lila is a graduate from Our Redeemer's Christian School and is now a freshman at Minot State pursuing a degree in elementary education. In her down time she loves to paint and bake (you'll need to prove it with cupcakes, tho...)

She says she's always loved working with kids. We're excited to have her with us.

Let’s welcome Miss Nylah to the PG Team.
Nylah is a freshman at Minot State (Go Beavers!) studying elementary ed and special education. You’ll mostly see Miss Nylah helping out with our Tiny Gritters Preschool Program, helping shape little minds.

Nylah is a Surrey native and a big fan of her dog and caffeine (you’ll fit in just fine, then.)

We’re excited to have this fun, personable young professional in the team.

Meet Miss Geena 🧡

We’re thrilled for the expertise, energy, and heart Geena brings to our team. Make sure to give her a warm Prairie Grit welcome!

🎉 Join us in celebrating Miss Kara’s birthday today! 🎉

Kara keeps Prairie Grit running strong as both our Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant and our scheduling master. She’s the friendly face that helps families feel welcome, the steady hand behind the scenes, and a big reason our clinic runs as smoothly as it does.

From her patented "Fun Fridays" to stepping in for groups and preschool she wears many hats (and wears them well, too.)

We’re thankful for all the care, energy, and heart she pours into Prairie Grit every day 🧡 Happy Birthday, Miss Kara!

Parents. We often like to preach on how adaptive sports is a fun (and successful!) form of therapy outside the clinic walls. Our flagship sport, sled hockey, is starting up soon for the season. Let us know if your child might be interested in trying it out.

Now's your chance.
If you've been tinkering with becoming a part of the Prairie Grit Wolves, now is the best time.
To join the Prairie Grit Wolves Sled Hockey Team, here’s what you need to know:
✅ Open to kids & adults (ages 5+) with physical or cognitive disabilities
✅ Sign up with a quick registration + consent form
✅ Bring a helmet & gloves (we have some, but trust us you'll want your own. We also have sleds and sticks to borrow)
✅ Show up ready to learn, practice, and play as a team
✅ Respect teammates, coaches, and refs — sportsmanship first
✅ Parents/volunteers welcome to help with equipment & transfers

No experience needed. Just bring your grit. Shoot us a message if you or your child is interested to hit the ice this fall.
