Our Philosophy

A holistic, family-focused approach to wellness

We’re committed to building lasting connections with you and your child through a holistic, family-focused approach to wellness. We follow the Vermont Family Based Approach (FVBA) model.

We know that everyday family routines like eating, sleeping, moving, and connecting with others all shape your child’s health and future. This approach helps us partner with you to build healthy habits across all areas of wellness.

“We went in for my daughters 2.5 year well child visit and the appointment went well. I’ve been struggling with behaviors with my daughter and she gave me clear advice while also validating the difficulties. I’ve already began implementing the techniques Courtney gave me and have noticed a shift in my daughters listening due to how I’m directing her per Courtney’s advice. I’m very grateful to have spoken with her, she was great to work with and so helpful!”
