Our Mission
At OWN Pediatric Therapy, our mission is to transform children’s lives through high-quality, nurturing, play-based, and holistic therapy. We empower every child to thrive in their own way by providing personalized care that supports their unique journey.
As parents, we understand there is no handbook when it comes to navigating bowel and bladder challenges with our children. It’s often a topic that’s hard to talk about, and parents don’t always know where to turn for support. That’s why part of OWN Pediatric Therapy’s mission is to fill a much-needed gap in our medical field and provide families with the support they deserve. We know this is an underserved population when it comes to pelvic health, and we want to change the narrative so that every child can live a life where bowel and bladder concerns don’t hold them back.
OWN Pediatric Therapy was founded to provide resources for parents struggling with these challenges. We understand the frustration of hearing that children will “just outgrow it” or being given a temporary solution like “Mirilax” without getting to the root cause. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where families feel heard, understood, and empowered.
Our founder, Annie, a dedicated therapist and mom of two, has personally navigated many of these challenges with her own children and understands their impact on family life. Her desire to create change and provide the support she so desperately sought is the foundation of our practice, ensuring families feel supported every step of the way.
We believe every child deserves to grow, learn, and achieve their fullest potential. Our skilled therapists use evidence-based approaches to create engaging, child-centered experiences that foster confidence and success. Through collaboration with families, we build strong foundations for lifelong well-being.
Every element of our practice is designed to provide a comfortable, empowering experience. We normalize conversations around pediatric pelvic health, helping parents and children address their needs without fear or embarrassment.
At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we are dedicated to creating joy, embracing each child’s journey, and delivering the highest quality care. We believe every child deserves to experience childhood free from the challenges of bowel and bladder concerns.
Our Commitment To You
One-On-One Appointments
At OWN Pediatric Therapy, every 60-minute session takes place in a private treatment room with the same dedicated therapist. We recognize the importance of building trust and rapport with children, which is why your child will always work with a consistent therapist who provides their undivided attention and care during each session.
Customized Treatment Plans
We understand that every child is unique, and their treatment should be too. As part of our care, your child will receive a personalized therapy plan tailored to their individual needs, because we know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work. We take the time to understand your child’s specific challenges and strengths, ensuring the best possible outcomes—without relying on a generic treatment schedule
Specialized Care for Kids
We specialize exclusively in pediatric pelvic health—a focus few clinics offer. We work to identify and address the root causes of your child’s concerns, providing expert care that goes beyond symptom management. Our personalized approach delivers lasting results, helping kids gain confidence and independence.
Pricing Transparency
We believe in full transparency when it comes to the cost of care. You’ll always know the cost of each visit and have a clear understanding of how many visits your child may need to complete their care plan. Since every patient is unique, we’ll provide you with a detailed recommendation after your child’s initial visit.
