Meet Dennise!

Hi, I’m Dennise.
I believe in child-led care, playful connection, and the power of early support.

Since graduating from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston in 2012, I’ve spent over a decade doing what I love—helping children and families navigate life with more confidence, comfort, and joy. Most of my experience has been in outpatient pediatric clinics, where I’ve had the privilege of learning alongside incredible therapists and partnering with families to support meaningful milestones.

In recent years, I felt called to focus on early childhood. The more I learned, the more I realized how many challenges later in childhood can be traced back to that very first year. That inspired me to dive deep into infant therapy—what I lovingly call “baby bodywork.” I’ve received advanced training in craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and reflex integration to help support infants from the inside out.

I’m grounded in a child-led, play-based approach because I truly believe that connection and joy create the best outcomes. When kids feel safe and engaged, real progress happens—and often, it starts by simply having fun together.
