I had the opportunity to talk with the people at Knoxville Voyager about Sweet Friends Pediatric Therapy, the city of Knoxville, and the joys and challenges of owning a business.
“Starting when I was a kid and even today, I have always referred to my dearest friends as “sweet friend”. When I began working with children professionally, my greeting at the beginning of each session naturally became, “Hey, sweet friend! I’m so happy you’re here!”. I believe humanity was created for connection with others. I believe we thrive and are made better by the relationships in our lives. There are very few gifts as powerful as true friendship – someone who meets us where we are without judgement and with kindness, understanding, encouragement, and joy. This involuntary title feels like the theme of my philosophy as an speech therapist and as a business owner – to welcome each child and family with a spirit of friendship, working alongside them and cheering them on to help them achieve their child’s goals.”
