Life Span Occupational Therapy Services LLC

"My son has been receiving occupational therapy from Ms. Jacqueline for the past two years and I cannot recommend her services enough. When my son first started working with Ms. Jacqueline, he was struggling with behavioural and fine motor skills. This made tasks like holding a pencil, buttoning his shirt, and having control of his body difficult and frustrating for him. Over time and through consistent occupational therapy sessions, he has made major improvements in these areas and can now perform these tasks independently. Ms. Jacqueline has been instrumental in helping track my son's progress, setting achievable goals, and finding creative ways to make the therapy engaging and fun. My son actually looks forward to his therapy sessions! I appreciate Ms. Jacqueline's warmth, patience, and encouragement as she works with my son. She praises my son's accomplishments and always focuses on the positives while gently pushing him to continue advancing his skills. In just two years, my son has gained so much more confidence and independence thanks to Ms. Jacqueline skilled occupational therapy support. I highly recommend her services to any parents or children needing OT. She is making a tremendous difference in our, and my son's life."

"We had the privilege of working with Jacqueline Watson (Ms. J) during our time in Lacey. Our family moves often (military), and my children have seen many different professionals over the years, but none have touched us so deeply as Ms. J has! She provides incredibly personalized care utilizing evidenced-based alternative treatments we hadn’t encountered anywhere else. Her vast knowledge on how the nervous system works and how it impacts sensory & emotional foundations are a gift! She always met my children where they were (good or bad days), and they always left her office with new perspectives. I particularly appreciated the support and knowledge she kindly shared with me. I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. J’s services to any parents in search of a kind and knowledgeable OT, or if your children can benefit from more advanced treatment plans that consist of executive functioning skills, emotional control or behavioral organization. Thank you again, Jacqueline, for the support you provided our whole family. I’m deeply grateful."

"I had been a client for several years. It was a valuable resource for me with my neurodivergencies and anxiety. I needed to attend PT and was down to my last few visits for OT/PT. The owner who I was working with suggested I cease OT and attend PT with the last few visits. I truly thought she was on my side and made a good point. Unfortunately I was not in a good headspace but I thought that was a good idea. I lost my last near resource to me. I emailed her back in august (we communicated by email and never by phone) agreeing to her suggestion and why I’d want more visits and to see if she’d send it off to the insurance company because she did say she’d write a report and do that and wanted my list. At the end of the email I asked questions about what was next and if she’d email me back if visits got approved or how that would work. I know my email went through because I got the “away message.” Months went by and no contact. I was dropped like a hot potato. I recently emailed her to followup (also got the “away message”) and inform her of a few more details, maybe that would help me. Nothing. It hurts. I’m not sure I’d go back either. It was my only ND resource (because as we adults all know there is nothing in thurston county for adults). And now this happens."

"Our family has been lucky enough to be in Jacqueline’s (Miss J’s) orbit for several years. The assistance and support she has provided and continues to provide is wide ranging and always laced with knowledge and kindness. We recommend her and her practice to everyone we know who could benefit from her wealth of resources. Miss J is an important part of our world and helps us navigate the harder parts with compassion and practical advice. We are forever grateful for Miss J!!"

"Excellent care and effective therapeutic services! After breaking my wrist and wearing a cast for 5 weeks, I couldn't believe how weak my entire hand and arm was. I was also really concerned about how I was dropping everything. It impacted my work, social activities, and my overall wellbeing. I am so thankful I was referred to Life Span Occupational Therapy Services! Jacqueline helped rehabilitate my hand, wrist, arm, and my overall strength and abilities. She also taught me so much about ways to keep my body healthy long-term. I highly recommend Life Span!"
