Cassie is co-founder of Villages and have been a pediatric OT since 2010. Her heart is in early intervention, where she has spent a majority of her career. After practicing for nearly 9 years, the roles reversed and Cassie became the worried parent when her 3rd baby was impacted with tongue, lip, and cheek ties. She sought all the knowledge and was led me to TTM. When her professional experience and experience as a parent collided, special things began to happen. God placed it in her heart to cultivate a community where families could learn from shared experiences of professionals in the field, but perhaps more importantly, from each other.
Villages offers group wellness classes for children and their families, as well as individual occupational and physical therapy services in your home. Building Community. Empowering Families.
