About Lisa

Bio


Lisa Annorino is a dedicated Occupational and Recreational Therapist with a passion for helping children and families thrive. She specializes in two key areas:


  1. Child Development, Sensory Processing, and Emotional Regulation – Supporting children in reaching developmental milestones, improving motor coordination, and navigating sensory and emotional challenges.

  2. Infant Feeding and Lactation Support – Providing expert care for oral motor skills, tongue tie support, breastfeeding, and bottle feeding challenges.


Lisa’s journey began in mental health facilities, where she witnessed the profound impact of early intervention on children’s well-being. This experience fueled her passion for helping children before challenges become barriers, leading her to pursue advanced training in sensory processing, motor development, emotional regulation, and feeding therapy.


With a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach, Lisa meets children and families where they are—whether at home, in school, or virtually—to provide personalized, evidence-based care. Whether helping a child develop motor skills and self-regulation or supporting an infant and mother through feeding challenges, her goal is to empower both children and parents with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.


At Mind & Body Interventions, Lisa combines expertise, intuition, and a creative approach to ensure every child receives the support they need for growth, confidence, and well-being.
