Sally Martin-Ranft, M.S., P.T.
Executive Director and Founder
With 20 years' experience as a healthcare professional, Sally began her career as a physical therapist and exercise physiologist. She continues her journey as a healer through the Awakenings Center as a certified Sensory Learning provider and Body Ecologist.
"The Body Ecology Diet helped my personal health issues. Then, my son Lucas showed great results from the Sensory Learning Program. I want to share these remarkable and safe interventions with other families."
Bunnie Dewar, OTR/L
Pediatric Occupational Therapy
Certified Sensory Learning practitioner
Reiki practitioner
As a pediatric occupational therapist, Bunnie incorporates sensory integration techniques into her practice to help children build visual, fine motor and self help skills. She also blends Eastern healing techniques (such as Reiki and Traditional Chinese Medicine) to provide a wonderful balance when used within the Occupational Therapy framework.
“By using my extensive sensory processing knowledge, I am able to adapt the Sensory Learning Program to carefully match the needs of each child.”
