I am really pleased with Meagan's dedication and skill over at Ahoy Baby. My Jacob had Torticollis -muscle tightness, since birth. It was causing him so much discomfort. Meagan helped him become flexible and comfortable in his body. She also caught a tongue and lip tie! No wonder why he was having such a hard time latching! She referred us to Dr Park from Broad Smiles who fixed the ties with great success. If it wasn't for Meagan, my boy and MOM(me) would still be struggling. She wasnt just a PT to us.

​

She wasan important role in my babies first yr of life. I will be forever grateful. She went above and beyond for us. Jacob has now graduated from Ahoy Baby. We will miss our visits with Meagan. All he did was smile big for her. He loved his Ahoy baby time. We love u Meagan! Thank you!!!! I will be referring absolutely everyone to you bc you are the best pediatric PT on the northshore! Thanks again! We love AHOY BABY!

Meagan is absolutely incredible with our son! She has a natural way of working with babies and children and we feel so lucky to have her as our son’s physical therapist! She has helped our son with rolling both directions, the quadruped position (which he has refused at home), and now working on crawling and walking.

 

Meagan has a variety of tools and toys in her large space to spark the babies’ interest. She also has worked with our son doing DMI therapy which is very hard to find and incredibly beneficial. Her wealth of knowledge and years of experience with babies and children with a variety of conditions is evident in her appointments.

 

Further, she has worked with our son with craniosacral therapy, helping to relieve him when constipated. She uses massage techniques as well as positioning to help him. Lastly, she has also helped him with some feeding / teething issues - she has a variety of specialities and we are so grateful for her!

Meagan is an experienced pediatric therapist who thoughtfully serves families and supports them in their learning as new parents— from treating common conditions of infancy with a focus on holistic and early intervention, to teaching families ways to connect through touch (massage) and play.

Her motor guide is a well-constructed, thorough guide for parents to use with their children throughout their early development. This at-a-glance flip book has enough info that parents can confidently support their littles, and not so much that it’s overwhelming or intimidating.
It caters to all learning styles, and it’s muted colors convey Meagan’s calm and gentle nature so parents can emulate it too!
