“I believe all children have a significant purpose in life. It is my role to ensure nothing is holding them back from fulfilling it.”

In 2016, Hayley and her husband Matt founded iThrive with a vision to create a welcoming and client-centered clinic where children and their families feel at home. Their goal was to build a space that fosters growth, learning, and genuine connection. Hayley is passionate about empowering parents to be active participants in their child’s therapy journey, believing that meaningful change is best achieved through collaboration. Under her leadership, iThrive has grown into a thriving team of dedicated Occupational Therapists and Speech Pathologists who share her commitment to empathy, connection, and presence.
