Mel has been seeing my 2 year old son for over 6 months now and he has greatly improved in terms of his understanding of how to play with toys and the enjoyment he gets from them by playing with them appropriately. His concentration span has also improved and he enjoys the sessions. The minute he sees Mel at the door he runs to the room they work in and sits patiently waiting for her to join him!

Ever since my eldest was 1 year old, I thought something wasn’t right. But I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Throughout the years I have shared my concerns with my child’s teachers, whom weren’t very helpful with that matter. Then, we moved to the UK and she was diagnosed with ADHD. It was a relief to finally have someone who sees the things I’ve experienced with her and could even put a label on that. Then, we met the amazing Muzzy. Ever since my child started OT, everything changed. Everything! Firstly, she became a happy child again. Her motor skills, both soft and gross improved immensely. Her achievements in school and with that, she started to regain her self-confidence. It didn’t happen overnight, it started about three months into the OT and I know we still have a long way, but we are getting there, thanks for OT.

Muzzi has connected to our son in a way that we had never seen before. She got to the core of what he needed and helped us to unravel his difficulties – she gave us back our child. He is developing and flourishing under her guidance and is able to do things we didn’t think possible in such a short space of time. She has helped the whole family to nurture his progress and we are eternally grateful.

Muzzi has been working with my son James for a few months now. She is the most caring person I have ever met and goes that extra mile to help. I would strongly recommend her for her professionalism and kindness and seems to have a way with the children. We hope to work with you again soon.

Our son is dyslexic and dyspraxic. He received some fine support from our local authority, but it was always a ‘targeted’ approach. If targets were met, and they were, the support stopped. Desperate as we watched our son become more and more frustrated with himself, we were thrilled to meet Muzzi. From the outset, she explained that her approach would be holistic and long term. She has responded sensitively to Charlie’s personality and needs, balanced immediate and long term goals and built an effective rapport with him. He loves coming to see her, enjoys the activities and understands what and why he is learning. He has made stunning progress in his fine and gross motor development. He writes and draws with great confidence – he can now see an incorrect spelling as his script is clear! He rides a bike and balances well and, to his surprise and joy, can throw and catch a frisbee. His self-esteem has been transformed and he now faces fresh challenges with gusto.

Muzzi has been working with my little boy, who has just turned 4 and has autism, for around 6 months. He has other therapies which have been very useful in improving his behaviour and attention but I really had no idea how crucial fine motor skills were in improving cognitive ability. My son and I both look forward to our weekly sessions, Muzzi is fun and caring but also professional and no nonsense – which is just as important with a child like mine! I love the genuine interest she has in my son’s progress and how much pleasure she takes in his achievements. We practice what we learn in the sessions at home every night and it feels more like fun than work. Since we have started he has shown a desire to undo his buttons and use keys in locks, he has also started to enjoy painting and crafting. I didn’t really understand what OT was but I am so pleased we took a leap of faith – and delighted we were lucky enough to find Muzzi first.
