Dr. Jennifer Gaewsky, PT, DPT, CBS.
Doctor of Physical Therapy (2012) & Certified Breastfeeding Specialist.
I studied physical therapy at the University of Hartford in Connecticut, and graduated with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012. As a student, I grew increasingly interested in studying neurophysiology, physics of the human body, and the development and acquisition of gross motor skills during infancy. While completing my final clinical rotation at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, I fell in love with serving families and young children.
I’ve been serving Austin families since 2013 as a Texas licensed physical therapist. Over the years, I've honed a skillful awareness and understanding of infant gross motor development. A focus on creating rich, movement-based, learning experiences for babies sets me apart as a therapist. Excellent pediatric physical therapy begins with keen observation and listening skills, patience, and creativity.
I’ve expanded my expertise by becoming a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS) and am currently pursuing certification as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). This additional training allows me to provide comprehensive support to families by addressing both the physical development needs of infants and the important aspects of successful breastfeeding. This combined knowledge of infant motor development and lactation support enables me to offer uniquely integrated care that considers the whole picture of infant wellness.
