Empowering parents with the tools, education, and support they need to help their families thrive.

Hi! I’m Priya, founder of Begin Balanced. Allow me to join your village and help you and your family thrive in the first 1000 days of life…and beyond.

…because it takes a village

Begin Balanced started in 2016 as The Wellness Therapist; a way for me to provide high-quality, holistic occupational therapy and therapeutic coaching to San Francisco Bay Area families. My goal has always been to support children and their parents simultaneously and to make sure to take each family’s unique circumstances into consideration as we work together for improved function and participation in life.

Over the years as my skills, interests, and life circumstances have carried me to different places, my therapeutic offerings have changed as well. Still the same high-quality, individualized, culturally humble care, though! Reach out with questions and let me know how I can help you and your family with infant and baby occupational therapy or therapeutic coaching for parents. Looking forward to helping you thrive!

“Child and parent wellness are intertwined and must be addressed simultaneously and with a balanced approach.”
