Last night we celebrated the wedding of one of our past Little Lives therapists, .b96 , and my heart is still so full. ❤️
Standing with these two incredible women, I couldn’t help but feel proud. They met through Little Lives, became friends, supported each other through the chaos and joy of therapy life, and years later they’re still showing up for one another, with standing by Izzy’s side as her bridesmaid.
Both of them met their now husbands while working at Little Lives, both of them have stepped out bravely to start their own practices, and both of them are doing so unbelievably well. Dani here in our community, and Izzy working so hard to build something beautiful in Mthatha despite the challenges of her setting.
Moments like this remind me why I love what I do. Little Lives isn’t just a workplace, it’s a launching pad. A place where therapists grow, learn, find their confidence, find their people, and sometimes even find their forever.
I’m so grateful to have been part of their journey, and even more grateful to stand on the sidelines now, cheering them on as they create the most incredible futures.
My heart is full and so very proud. ✨

OT vs Speech—What’s the Difference? ✨

In child development, Occupational Therapy (OT) supports skills like play, sensory processing, fine-motor tasks, and daily routines.

Speech Therapy focuses on communication—understanding language, expressing ideas, and building clearer speech sounds.

At Little Lives Child Development, these both work side-by-side so children can grow and shine. 💛

World Prematurity Day: Honoring Strength, Raising Awareness 💜👶

Every year, millions of families welcome their babies earlier than they are expected. These little ones born before 37 weeks—often begin life in the NICU, surrounded by monitors, gentle hands, and hope.

Prematurity is more common than many realise:
• About 1 in every 10 babies is born prematurely
• Premature birth can affect long-term breathing, feeding, learning, and development

💡 The power of early intervention:
From supporting muscle strength and feeding skills to guiding sensory and communication development, early intervention services give preemies the best possible start.

Therapy helps support development—as well as they help families feel confident, informed, and connected during a stressful time. 💜✨

Today we create awareness for the babies who arrived early, the families who stood strong, and the specialists who help these children thrive.

Your journey may have started early, but your potential is limitless. 🦸🏻
