I am a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 20 years having worked in hospitals, private practice, early intervention and schools. My current private practice focuses on holistic Occupational Therapy. I am certified in CranioSacral Therapy, John Barnes Myofascial Release, Dynamic Body Balancing and Primitive Reflex Integration Therapy. My most recent certifications focus on pre/post care for tongue tie release and intra-oral techniques to reduce tension for optimal functioning in babies through adults. My years in Pediatrics have amazed me, as I have witnessed children's ability to grow and bloom, despite the challenges that they face. Their sense of wonder with the world around them is a daily inspiration for me!

My private practice offers treatment for a variety of conditions, including: ADHD, Ear Infections, Dyslexia, Learning Disabilities, Sensory Integration Dysfunction, Pre/Post Tongue and Lip Tie Release, Plagiocephaly, Torticollis, Immune Support, Digestive Issues, Failure to Thrive, Speech Delay/Impairment, Scoliosis, Sport Injuries, difficulties with Bedwetting and More! My adult practice includes treating parents' nervous system dysregulation, if desired, to positively shift the family dynamic.

CARRIE DEAN is an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Licensed Massage Therapist and Certified Infant Massage Instructor. After a thriving massage career, Carrie transitioned into lactation after a long breastfeeding struggle with her first child. Carrie spent her first year of practice working alongside pediatricians in a large group practice as their in-house lactation consultant. She has now transitioned into in-home consults.

Carrie believes it is a true privilege to spend time with new families empowering them with skill, confidence and choices on how to move forward with their infant feeding relationship. Developing a plan where baby AND mother thrive is the goal. Carrie enjoys using her background as an educator, massage therapist, and yoga instructor to complement all visits.

When Carrie is not busy seeing new families or attending professional meetings and conferences, she is shuttling her two very energetic boys all over Westchester. Her favorite way to clear her head is hitting the heavy bag at the boxing gym and making jewelry.

Carrie runs a weekly breastfeeding support group in Larchmont. Please contact her for details.
