Proactive Parents can help solve their infant’s milestone struggles.

I’m here to teach you how.

Bringing Physical Therapist-led Proactive Play to infants struggling with milestones 0-18 months.

Our babies deserve proactive action if they’re struggling, not for their families or providers to “wait and see,” which can waste precious time.

Is your child struggling with milestones such as tummy time, rolling, sitting, crawling, pulling to stand, or walking?

Are they experiencing other difficulties, such as whole-body tension, torticollis, or flatness at the back of the head?

All of these make their experience as an infant more difficult and your experience as a parent more frustrating.

Often, proactive families are told to “wait and see,” or that it will get better on its own.

The truth is: there are proactive actions you can take as a parent to make sure your child has the best opportunity to move well and avoid falling behind their peers.

What Proactive Parents Are Saying About The Proactive Play Books:

  • "My baby was having trouble side sitting, and moving around. She was a happy sitter, she had little core muscle and trunk mobility. And all this I did not know until I saw your videos but more specifically read your book. I actually put the book to the test. She started crawling within 2 weeks!"

  • "Thank you so much for the opportunity to have been a beta reader for your book. I just want to say wow, it was so perfect! You were very thorough and descriptive and educational."

  • "I watched a lot of videos and nothing compares to your instruction, I studied that book every night and when the girls were asleep. Thank you so much. I will never forget you. I will continue to use you, recommend you (I actually told my doc to tell her patients about you too), and thank you for being there at a time that I really was struggling and worried."

  • "I absolutely love your introduction to parents. It sets the scene super well and even gives me motivation to keep reading and find out how to facilitate movement in my child."

  • "Throughout the book you do a great job of addressing common challenges, while then providing realistic solutions/alternatives that are not overwhelming."

  • "I was super happy to see that you started with why rolling is an important milestone. I'm seeing this a lot with parents who say 'my baby wants to stand, they don't like moving on the floor' and the parent does not seem to understand why independent movement on the floor (rolling, crawling, etc.) is extremely important (and should not be skipped) for the baby's development of strength, coordination, their senses, etc"

  • "I have nothing but great feedback to give! I learned a ton from reading it and I know parents will benefit greatly from it!"

  • "Such a great purchase! Within 2 weeks of implementing the exercises suggested in this wonderful book, my baby started rolling from tummy to back (week 1) and from back to tummy (week 2)."

  • "This book is a great, unique baby shower gift that parents will appreciate and help them be empowered. The book is well organized and broken down into short chapters with lots of helpful color photographs. Dr. Lauren writes in a way that is easy to understand and she has free online videos to supplement topics discussed in the book."

  • "The book's subtitle is completely accurate. This is an excellent book for pediatric practitioners or ambitious parents. It is an in depth guide to helping infants master tummy time and rolling."

  • "My baby girl was late for rolling. Bought the book, did the exercises and one week later baby girl was rolling both ways."

  • "She was rolling but would only roll to her right. I suspected some shoulder/trunk tightness because many times torticollis or neck tightness is just a portion of the issue...I used the stretches in this book clearly outlined and in a matter of days she was holding herself up in push up position for long periods of time and rolling to her left! Must have for mamas!"
