Constipation and Incontinence Care
I am trained in treating the pelvic floor with speciality in pediatrics. My approach takes into account the whole body including the nervous system, posture, feeding and the musculoskeletal system.

Feeding
My first passion, from early bottle and breast feeding as a certified lactation counselor to those first bites of solids, my feeding approach is a holistic one incorporating oral motor, sensory and movement.
Meet Amalia
Hi! My name is Amalia, but I have always gone by Mali (pronounced Molly)! I have known I have wanted to be an OT since I was in middle school. I attended Ithaca College where I got my BS in occupational science and MS in occupational therapy. I have worked in pediatrics since 2009 where I gained a range of wonderful experiences in the realm of OT including but not limited to schools, feeding, fine motor and sensory.
I went into pelvic floor therapy partially as a way to treat my own issues! I first-hand struggled with some pelvic and gut-related issues and know how important they are to overall health. Feeding always appealed to me because of the complex nature of it from its importance culturally to just how poor feeding experiences can affect everyone at the dinner table! Plus I just love food and feel everyone should also enjoy it!
In my spare time I like to cook (and eat), read, craft, nap and spend time with my family and friends and cats and dog.
