Born to Bloom is a cash-based, out of network provider. Acting as a cash-based provider allows me to spend the necessary time and energy to address you and your baby’s needs outside of the constraints typically placed by insurance (time allotted, number of visits, treatment allowed etc).

Yes! I can provide telehealth occupational therapy sessions anywhere in Tennessee. If you are out of state, I can provide virtual “Wellness” sessions that cannot be considered Occupational Therapy services due to laws and statutes of our governing body.
