Discover inspiring testimonials from clients of occupational therapist Nicole St. John.

Nicole is truly exceptional. She began working with one of my sons when he was just 18 months old, and now, over eight years later, she continues to be a vital part of our lives. From supporting my children with handwriting to helping them develop essential fine motor skills, Nicole’s expertise has made a lasting impact.

She has one of the calmest and most reassuring demeanors. Patient, gentle, warm, and incredibly kind, Nicole connects with her patients in a way that is both nurturing and encouraging. She motivates children to do their best without pressure or negativity and always has their best interests at heart.

Nicole is also a true expert in her field. She connected us with an outstanding orthotic specialist and played a key role in helping my son overcome the challenges associated with low muscle tone. Her professionalism, punctuality, and genuine care make her an absolute pleasure to work with.

I feel so grateful that Nicole came into our lives. Thanks to her dedication and knowledge, my boys have thrivedand I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Since my daughter started working with Nicole, her fine and gross motor skills have greatly improved. She has become stronger, more coordinated and even more confident. She enjoys working with Nicole and loves playing on the climbing equipment, swings and trapeze. I would highly recommend Nicole to any parent looking for a warm, patient and skilled Occupational Therapist OT for their child.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Nicole as our son's occupational therapist. She has been working with him for several years and over the years, she has become such an integral part of his growth and development. From the very beginning, her genuine warmth, patience, and kindness have shone through in every session. She meets him where he is, encourages him with creativity and care, and celebrates every milestone with such heartfelt enthusiasm it truly makes him feel seen and capable.

What sets Nicole apart is not only her expertise and dedication to helping children progress toward their goals, but also her openness and transparency with families. She communicates candidly and thoughtfully, providing guidance and support in a way that is both practical and reassuring.

Her commitment goes far beyond her therapy sessions, she genuinely cares about the children she works with and the families supporting them. The consistency, encouragement, and compassion she brings to every session have made an immeasurable difference in our son’s development and our family’s journey.
