  • My daughter now moves well on both sides, feeds better, and is getting stronger every day.

    “I had the best experience with Jen! She worked with my 3-month-old daughter to help her develop essential strength skills. She had a noticeable side preference, which was affecting her mobility and feeding. After just one session with Jen we saw incredible improvements. Her doable at-home approach made such a difference. My daughter now moves well on both sides, feeds better, and is getting stronger every day thanks to the simple exercises and guidance I received from Jen. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a specialized PT professional. She will give you individualized knowledge for your exact baby. I’m sad our sessions are over because I loved learning from Jen! A big thank you to her for all the help and care.”

  • Jen is encouraging, patient, creative, kind and was so communicative with us on how to help our daughter thrive.

Hi! I’m Jen.

I’ve been serving Austin families since 2013.

As a physical therapist for infants and Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS), I specialize in nurturing the development of the littlest patients, from newborns to toddlers. My combined knowledge of infant motor development and lactation support enables me to address the interconnected nature of physical development and breastfeeding. With expertise in conditions like torticollis, plagiocephaly, and developmental delays, I create play-based therapy plans that help infants reach their movement milestones. My approach combines gentle techniques with parent education, ensuring that each child receives the support they need to grow, explore, and thrive in their early years.

Dr. Jennifer Gaewsky, PT, DPT, CBS.
