Testimonials

"We love Thriveable Therapies! Our son has progressed significantly since he started working with Courtney. We work on speech, myofunctional exercises & feeding. My son loves going to see her. She’s always extremely patient, kind & innovative in her approach. We tried AAC before but never had a good experience or made progress until we started working with her. Now my son loves his AAC & finally has another way of communicating his wants/needs other than the few signs he knows. We’re so grateful that we found Courtney & have recommended her to many friends & other parents. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!!"

"Courtney and Myo therapy has made a huge difference in my son’s life. I have been taking my son to see Courtney for a few months now and we are so grateful for her knowledge, patience and the way she teaches. She makes it fun and interesting for him and he looks forward to his weekly time with Courtney. We have seen a huge improvement and look forward to the lasting difference it is making with the strengthening of his facial muscles. We can’t recommend Courtney enough!"
