We also see kids with constipation.
And who won't tell anybody about their problem.

I have never met a therapist with so much love in her heart. She has the magic touch with kids.
She won my child over with her bubbly personality and playful attitude.
He was scared at first, but realized it was actually fun after Sunel gave him a big smile and started playing silly games with him.
He thought we were just going to her office each visit to play with her.
Little did he know each game was working on a specific skill.
We went from not being able to leave our house because of potty issues and having it rule our world, to thinking the potty is awesome and listening to our bodies when they tell us when to go! She is a miracle worker, you won't regret it.
