I’m Marybeth Oliva, OT, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2020. I attended Baylor University for undergrad and earned my Master of Occupational Therapy at University of Texas Medical Branch. Prior to Monkey Mouths, I worked in pediatric hospital and Level I Trauma Center settings.

Occupational Therapy is a place to learn new skills using the child and family’s strengths in order to increase independence with daily activities and occupations through play. I have a passion to work with children and their families to add function and meaning to their lives.

In my free time, I enjoy baking, swimming, photography, my family and traveling.

As an OT since 2012, I have training and specialization in the following:

• Handwriting Without Tears
• Pelvic Floor Therapy
• Melanie Potock – Feeding Therapy: It’s not just about swallowing
• NMES
• Kinesiotape
• MNRI® Dynamic & Postural Reflex Pattern Integration
