Move Play Grow

Our daughter had hip dysplasia, which was treated by her wearing a harness for six months. After the harness came off, she didn’t move her legs very much, and when she started crawling, she would only move her arms to pull herself across the room. As a physical therapist myself, I wanted to get help from an expert in the field and Board Certified Pediatric Specialist, so we took my daughter to see Wendi McKenna.
My wife and I were both amazed at how quickly our daughter warmed up to Wendi, since she is usually very shy and afraid of strangers. Wendi’s skill and expertise was immediately apparent to us as she started working with our daughter – she is a baby whisperer!
The visit with Wendi was extremely valuable and informative to us. Wendi gave us clear instructions for things that we could do at home to help our daughter move better.
When we got back home from the first visit, we put my daughter on the floor, and she immediately pushed up into a hands and knees crawling position – something she had never done before that day!
My wife and I highly recommend Wendi’s services as a PT.

My 3 month old and I really enjoyed the Tummy Time class, we learned new techniques besides just doing tummy time on the floor, and ways to make it more enjoyable. My little one was worn out after 45 min and fell right asleep. Great info and can’t wait to enroll in the next class… thank you Wendi :)

Wendi has been a lifesaver. Your baby does not have to hate tummy time. After her class, mine loved it. She has been an amazing resource and we are so lucky to have found her. We tried all of her classes and we were impressed each time.

Wendy and her baby development classes are fantastic and a must do for all new moms and dads. They are educational and provide activities that you can do at home with your baby to support healthy development.

I was worried my 5 month old was already too old for the Tummy Time class and wouldn’t really benefit from it. She was one of the older babies in the class, but the class was super fun for her and really informative for parents. Wendi answered all of our questions thoroughly — from boppies to bumbos, and even reflux. She also gave us the latest medical statistics and info on, «back is best» and SIDS prevention. She is a expert and a mother and has a wonderful way of making the babies feel very relaxed. She shares tips and tools that you won’t find on the internet or any other class. I feel like my daughter will have an advantage developmentally because of the things we learned in this class. I would recommend this to new moms and even moms to be. Her website is wonderful and informative as well. We are so fortunate to have this resource in North County.

Took my baby to «Tummy Time School» aka Tummy to Play: Everyday! Wendy was so knowledgable, helpful & full of great ideas! I recommend her class to any new mama! My Amelia is getting more comfortable plus I have the reassurance that I know what her progress should be! Looking forward to taking the Tummy to Play Everyday: Advanced Skills & Support!

I took my 8 week old to move play grow’s tummy time class yesterday. I’ve been to several baby classes at different places and this was by far the most educational and I think will have the biggest overall impact on my baby’s development in the long run. I learned about much more than just tummy time and it was clear that Wendi knows her stuff. It’s so great to see a pediatric physical therapist investing so much of her time in educating parents so they can be proactive in ensuring their babies never have to visit her for treatment! The cost was very reasonable too.
