Flourishing Lives

We help kids and families flourish through dedicated, child-led occupational and speech therapy. THERAPEUTIC FUN: We use therapy, disguised as play.

Our team empowers children to reach their full potential, focusing on individual strengths and goals in a nurturing environment for lasting growth. At Flourishing Lives we use play to develop gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and challenge our patients to adapt to an ever-changing sensory environment. We help them process things that they don't understand and cannot communicate. Trauma, anxiety, sensory aversion, or any kind of problem that is hindering a patient's daily life can be greatly improved with a highly trained occupational therapist, who can help them process things on a physical level that they may not be able to understand on an emotional level. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF OUR UNIQUE OT TREATMENT APPROACH

TRUST: We build a safe therapeutic relationship with the patient and their family to facilitate open communication at the clinic and at home. EMPOWERMENT: We use patient driven, therapist guided activities to empower patients to take responsibility for their healing while we develop the patient's ability to process sensory input. In this positive environment, we are able to get to the root of the problem with less resistance from the patient. Flourishing Lives was established as Sensory Systems Clinic by Sandra Glovak, OTR/L in 1982.

Did you know pediatric occupational therapy can start in infancy?

If your baby is struggling with tummy time, sleep, or meeting early developmental milestones, it can feel overwhelming not knowing where to start.

At Flourishing Lives, we support infants in building the foundational skills they need to grow and thrive. Pediatric OT can help improve tummy time tolerance, support motor development like rolling and sitting, enhance sensory regulation, and strengthen bonding and daily routines.

Early support can make a big difference, helping your baby gain confidence, comfort, and the skills needed for the next stage of development.

If you have questions or want to learn how we can support your child, reach out to our team to learn more.

Here’s a fun tip for those chilly winter days while we patiently wait for the real Michigan spring—not the “fake-out snow-melting-then-freezing-again” kind! ❄️🌷

Keep the kids moving indoors with an obstacle course. Crawling, jumping, balancing, and climbing builds motor skills, coordination, and body awareness, while following the course boosts attention, problem solving, and language skills.

Turn indoor energy into purposeful play and skill-building fun!

Crunchy snacks aren’t just tasty. They provide sensory input that helps kids stay alert and focused, strengthen jaw muscles, improve chewing skills, and explore different textures with their hands and mouths. Offering crunchy foods during mealtime or snack time can make daily routines easier and more engaging for kids.
