Ariel Morningstar

I am a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with over 13 years of experience, having worked in a diverse array of settings. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with clients of all ages, spanning various environments including schools, outpatient pediatrics, outpatient hands, the Army, mental health facilities, telehealth, and geriatric rehab settings. I earned my Doctorate of Science in Occupational Therapy through Baylor University and the U.S. Army, gaining invaluable insights into an array of therapy techniques, approaches, and interactions.

My journey has led me to discover a deep passion for working with children, where I strive to support and enhance their performance in areas such as sensory processing, visual and motor development, play, social skills, and daily functioning. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I firmly believe in the crucial role of childhood play in learning and skill development, particularly when it involves outdoor exploration.

One aspect I particularly appreciate about the Kinspire approach is the opportunity it provides to connect with children and their families, thus making the rehabilitation process a community effort. I have witnessed significant growth in the children I work with through this approach, and the collaboration with families has played a pivotal role in Kinspire's success.
