"My husband and I have two wonderful children whom we have put our humbled hearts and souls into, and they have made us so proud. There was never anything we wouldn't explore to bring out all they could be, and all our family could be. They feel safe leaving the nest and comforted to come home for a dose of love infusion, often. That makes us very happy."
Lori's older daughter is an elementary school teacher with a dual degree in elementary and special education and she is an integral part of the team of professionals at Home Therapy Solutions. Lori's younger daughter received her doctorate in occupational therapy and has also joined Home Therapy Solutions' practice treating clients across the life span.
