strOnger Together, LLC is a pediatric occupational therapy company, incorporating yoga and fitness classes in order to achieve a more holistic child. The company was founded by Brittney Hall, who is a registered occupational therapist through the NBCOT®, and is licensed in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She grew up in Salem, NH, where she has always been close to her family and friends. From doing dance, softball, field hockey, to coaching field hockey and spinning, as well as being an avid crossfitter, fitness has always been a huge part of her life. Brittney graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2017, with her masters in Occupational Therapy, and has been practicing pediatric occupational therapy ever since. Her first exposure to pediatric occupational therapy was during her last Level II fieldwork at Project CHILLD, a private practice in Beverly, MA. She loved seeing the impact and change that the kiddos she worked with experienced, as well as the overall playfulness and creativity they encompassed. From there, her first “big girl” job was at SNH Speech Therapy & Learning Center, LLC, a private practice in Nashua, NH. It was there that she found her confidence and passion for helping young kids be able to grow, improve, and live a more joyful life. It was during this job that she formed some of the best connections and relationships with the kiddos she treated then she ever thought possible. Brittney transferred from the private practice setting to school based occupational therapy in Manchester, NH to be able to treat an increased number of kids, as well as a more vast range of diagnoses.
Brittney was inspired to create her own company in order to encompass all of the attributes it takes to form a complete, holistic child. With her passion for health and fitness, she attained a Pediatric Yoga certification in order to carry this over to her practice (stay tuned for a follow up blog post regarding this), after seeing the benefits of having a mindful, movement session. She is confident in her adaptability, flexibility, and playfulness that drive successful pediatric occupational therapy. Her passion for kids and occupational therapy drove her to take a risk in doing what she believes in!
Brittney currently holds the following certifications: The Print Tool®, Therapeutic Listening®, Astronaut Training, The Professional Course on The Greenspan Floortime Approach®, Pediatric AquaHab, Intro to Aquatic Therapy and Rehab, Safety and Liability Protection Protocol, and Pediatric Yoga.
Why strOnger Together, LLC? Occupational therapy is not a single, one person relationship. It takes collaboration among family, child, practitioners, schools, doctors, etc. in order to complete a whole picture. “Strong” does not mean how much a child can deadlift, or how much trauma they can endure, but rather how the child copes, regulates, and persists among both hardships and successes. The “O” in “stronger” and “T” in “together” are capitalized to emphasize the occupational therapy (OT) roots in the company. Brittney hopes that with her playful, fitness, and holistic approach, that we all can be strOnger Together!
