HI, I'M REBECCA!
Pediatric Occupational Therapist, Owner & Founder
Play-based, nature-rich, child-led therapy
Every child deserves the joy of being themselves - through play, connection, and being met exactly where they are.
As a pediatric occupational therapist (MOT, OTR/L), I’ve watched indoor rock walls, hammocks, and our outdoor play garden spark breakthroughs in motor skills, sensory regulation, and confidence.
That passion led me to create Good Nature Therapy Services in Aurora, Ohio. A clinic serving kids and young adults (birth – 21) with pediatric speech therapy and occupational therapy in one connected space.
Alongside our speech-language pathologists and fellow team of OTs, I turn therapy goals into everyday wins - from handwriting and feeding to speech clarity and self-advocacy.

What Sets Us Apart
OUR MISSION AND CORE VALUES
At Good Nature Therapy, our work is rooted in honest, down-to-earth solutions that work for families and bring out the best in kids.
Commitment to Excellence
Parenting can be difficult, but it is worth the investment to get it right. We are committed to providing clients with the tools and resources they need to be successful parents.
Celebrate Success
Every child deserves to feel successful and celebrated. We celebrate our kids' achievements and provide them with the support that helps them reach their full potential.
Embrace Nature
Nature is essential to childhood and personal growth. We encourage families to embrace the outdoors and provide them with solutions that facilitate outdoor play and exploration.
Lighten the Load
Life can be overwhelming, no matter how old you are. Nature lightens the load and provides a sense of calm, balance, and fun. We teach families how to connect with nature to find peace in their busy lives.
"Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt."
—John Muir

How We Do It & Why
GOOD NATURE THERAPY APPROACH
We provide affirming, play-based therapy built around goals that support the child.
Our interventions are drvien by a desire for 3 things:
Affirming Care
Come as you are and feel accepted! We put the ideas of affirming care into action. That means your child is accepted as an amazing person, period - end of sentence. With that core belief in mind, let's face challenges head-on by exploring ways of doing things differently or adding the right support so your child can be successful as their true selves.

HOW GOOD NATURE THERAPY SERVICES CAN HELP
At Good Nature Therapy Services, our approach is rooted in practical, down-to-earth solutions that bring out the best in kids while supporting families. We believe in a strength-based approach to therapy, ensuring that we support not only your child but also you, the parents and guardians, every step of the way.
​
By blending the benefits of indoor therapy (with spaces for climbing, hammocks, and plenty of movement) and the therapeutic advantages of outdoor exploration, we help children develop the fine and gross motor skills, social skills, self-confidence, and participation necessary for thriving at home, school, and beyond.
