Dr. Chanie Messinger

I’m a holistic occupational therapist, parent coach, educator, and speaker supporting children and families in building regulation, resilience, and connection from the inside out. My work integrates occupational therapy, mindfulness, breathwork, movement, and play-based learning to support the nervous system in everyday life—not just in sessions. I realized real change doesn’t happen in 30-minute therapy sessions, but when parents feel confident, regulated, and empowered at home. This led me to create The Dr. Chanie Method, a relationship-centered approach rooted in: • Connection before correction • Mindfulness in daily routines • Play as healing • Empowered parenting I work with children, parents, educators, and organizations through therapy, coaching, teaching, and speaking. My mission is simple: Serve. Inspire. Empower. If you value regulation, presence, and sustainable growth, let’s connect.
