About OWN Pediatric Therapy

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower every child to thrive in their OWN way.

We believe every child deserves to feel confident and comfortable in their own body. Through nurturing & specialized care we help children facing bowel and bladder challenges overcome symptoms, heal from the root cause, and get back to the joy of simply being a kid.

Founded by Annie Close, a pediatric occupational therapist and mom to three littles, OWN Pediatric Therapy was created to fill a gap in care for families who often feel unheard or unsure where to turn. Too many parents are told their child will “grow out of it” or are offered quick fixes instead of true, lasting solutions. Annie’s mission is to change that by offering compassionate, play-based, and evidence-informed therapy that gets to the root of the problem.

We’re here to normalize conversations around pediatric pelvic health, empower families with knowledge, and ensure every child feels supported, understood, and free to thrive in their OWN way.
