TheraPeeds H.O.P.E. Center is the location for the countries most outstanding pediatric therapeutic center, it is the brainchild of Julia Harper MS, OTR/L and her husband Miguel Corniel. It is a place of hope for parents who have struggled with their children being in and out of therapy ( but mostly in ) with minimal results. The primary objective of TheraPeeds is unique in that it strives to get children out of therapy so they can enjoy their lives with their families. By focusing on the brain and neuroplasticity ( the brains ability to rewire itself ) Julia has developed Harpers Optimal Protocols for Enrichment and is helping children to meet their potential in a safe, nurturing, and effective model. The practice is multidisciplinary offering Sensorimotor, OT, Physical Therapy, Speech & Language Pathology, Audiology, Psychology, & Special Education and more... Additional services include Sound / Music Intervention Therapy, Pilates, Therapeutic Yoga and Massage for both children and adults. The beautiful facility is located at 5700 Griffin Road #120 Davie, Florida 33314 on the first floor of an award winning environmentally green building.
Luli Chandra, CYT has been working with TheraPeeds as the senior Listening Specialist facilitating sound interventions such as Integrated Listening Systems, Interactive Metronome, Fast For Word, and others. Her healthcare background and training for more than 15 years performing OB/GYN ultrasound, infertility patient management, and medical office administration are a solid foundation for the sound and listening programs she is involved with at TheraPeeds. In addition Luli has studied and practised yoga for over ten years and opened Pure Yoga Studio in Davie, Florida after her certification in 2003. Her model was always a private one where personalized yoga instruction and spiritual connection was the priority. Teaching Classical Hatha Yoga as per the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, where the main focus is on strengthening the body and nervous system while stimulating the energetic centers to align chakras and arouse kundalini shakti. With proper consciousness yoga is highly effective but slow medicine. It requires discipline, consistency, and courage. Not on the physical level of how you perform a pose, but rather the courage it takes to come to the mat consistently regardless of how you are feeling.
Private Yoga Intensives with Luli exclusively at TheraPeeds...my connection to Julia and Cheryl Fernandez was immediate. It is still that way today. It is through that synergy that I began offering yoga at TheraPeeds. For the children I have developed KidCoreYoga because children do not practice yoga, they "play" yoga. In order to participate in the yoga intensive the children must be evaluated at TheraPeeds so they will receive a specific yoga routine that is both complimentary and wholly supportive of the work they are doing at TheraPeeds. The yoga intensives are offered for 1 hour for 5 days per week for 3 weeks or 1 hour 3 days per week for 5 weeks. Parents are also encouraged to participate and receive additional services of Pilates, Massage, Personal Training, and Sound Interventions.
Dear Julia,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve with such an amazing group of people. For the caring and compassion that I witness daily both for, and from, the parents of our special children. I was recently made aware of an interesting distinction. It is that people who "help" others were creating space between each other. If I am above you then I can "help" you, but if I serve you then we are one and the same. I feel that the children I serve are a gift and a blessing.
Luli
