Rainbow Tree Updates

 

January 1, 2025 | Winter

Dear Families!


Happy New Year 2025! The dates of our 13th season of camps have launched! There is so much packed into this newsletter! We have daytime peer groups! We have after school peer groups in May! And of course our Summer Camp dates are posted!


I am looking forward to the year 2025! Our mission: To support your child or children and you as the family unit in building resilient capacity while increasing feelings of ease and joy so that you can blaze your own trail and climb your own mountains to engage in meaningful occupations and take on the challenges of living with increased confidence and self compassion.


The name Rainbow Tree Therapies, LLC was inspired by a deep love for trees, which was passed down to me from my parents. My mom has a special bond with her cottonwood tree, and my dad cherishes his apple trees. The “rainbow” part of the name came to me one morning as I was driving to work in Somerset. I had been pondering the name Rainbow Tree, but I wasn’t sure if it was quite right. As I drove, I looked up and, to my surprise, saw a vibrant rainbow stretching across the sky—without a drop of rain in sight! In that moment, I knew it was a sign, confirming that rainbow was meant to be part of the name.


Rainbow Tree Therapies emerged as a deep longing to bring back childhood for children and to bring children together with their peers. Though back in 2013, I didn't have the hard research to back my sense of purpose, I can confidently say that all we do at Rainbow Tree Therapies is backed by evidence. Some of you may know that I even created a practice framework called Rooted in Rhythm to guide the work that we do with children in the natural environment.


THANK YOU families for entrusting your child with us whether we have come to know your child in private therapy or within our summer camps or both, we are so thankful to know you. We truly do adore children here and see the potential in each child. In the small steps and in the big steps we rally around children in becoming themselves!


A shout out to my dear friends and colleagues Michelle, Rachel and Sean who have dedicated many years to the Summer opportunities that we provide. It is rare to find people who share your vision and mission. They bring years of lived experience in the therapy world while also bringing their individual talents and interests! I look forward to their return.


Rainbow Tree Therapies is also dedicated to shaping and giving back to our college age students who are seeking professional degrees in therapy fields. If you know someone who is planning to apply to OT, PT, or Speech/Language graduate school or even in graduate school, we welcome volunteers to full fill their need for volunteer hours and our need for more hands on support! VOLUNTEER FORM HERE. We invest much time sharing our experience with the students who support our work. It is true mentorship!

1) Summer Camp Dates

3) Daytime peer groups starting in February
