Our Mission
Our mission is to revolutionize pediatric therapy by putting therapists first, recognizing that empowered, supported professionals provide the best care for families. We offer holistic, high-quality occupational, speech, and physical therapy with a focus on early intervention, family education, and community connection. Through workshops, yoga classes, fundraisers, and outdoor therapy options, we create an inclusive, wellness-centered environment that uplifts both therapists and the children they serve.
Meet Our Therapists
Adriana Covarrubias, M.S., OTR/L
Owner and Treating Therapist
Welcome! I am a licensed occupational therapist and the proud owner of Balance & Bloom Therapy! We are a pediatric occupational therapy practice dedicated to helping children thrive. With over nine years of experience supporting children’s development—including three years specializing in pediatric occupational therapy and six years in ABA therapy —I’ve had the privilege of working in clinics, schools, and early intervention programs.
My passion lies in helping children become independent and overcome challenges related to sensory processing and motor development, using a compassionate, individualized approach rooted in evidence-based practices. I believe therapy should be fun, functional, and empowering for both children and their families.
Outside of work, I enjoy practicing yoga, walking my two dogs, and exploring local trails on my mountain bike. These activities help me stay grounded and bring renewed energy into my therapy practice each day.
Caitlin Barnhill, M.S., OTR/L
Treating Therapist
Hi everyone! My name is Caitlin and I’m an occupational therapist with Balance & Bloom. I’m passionate about creating enriching, meaningful activities for children and their families using a multisensory, whole-body approach—engaging all the senses to support learning, development, and connection.
I love incorporating nature-based therapy whenever possible, and I’m committed to helping children grow through playful exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences.
Outside of OT, I’m also a barista and pizza chef, and I love spending time outdoors hiking and camping with my dog. I’m excited to support you and your child on this journey!
