Hi, I'm Andrea.
I'm a pediatric occupational therapist and the founder of Firefly Kids Company. I help parents understand what's behind their child's handwriting, and what to do about it at home.
Every child has a light of their own.
At Firefly Kids Company, I believe every child has their own unique strengths, abilities, and potential. Sometimes, they need the right support, tools, and opportunities to let those strengths shine.
As a pediatric occupational therapist, I work with children and families to build the skills and confidence children need to navigate everyday activities and feel more successful at school. Whether it's handwriting, fine motor skills, or other challenges that make learning more difficult, my goal is to understand each child's needs and find practical, meaningful ways to help them thrive.
Just as fireflies need the right environment to flourish, children do best when they have the support and opportunities that allow them to grow in their own way.
At Firefly Kids Company, it's not about making every child the same. It's about helping each child discover what they're capable of, build on their strengths, and find their own way to shine.
My story
I started Firefly after seeing bright kids struggle to get their thinking onto paper, and their parents unsure how to help.

How I work
The whole child first
Handwriting rarely struggles on its own. I look at posture, strength, attention and confidence before letters. [Andrea: confirm]

You know your child best. My job is to give you the understanding and tools to help at home. [Andrea: confirm]
Evidence-based and practical
Strategies grounded in occupational therapy, made to fit a real family evening. [Andrea: confirm]
