Hello, I'm Tracey Kondrasuk-Brander

I have been working as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for over 25 years. I specializes in premature infants and children birth-three years of age and the owner of ParentNICUconnection to help transition babies from the NICU.

I'm also the owner of Pediatric Education Development Services (P.E.D.S.) where I provide online-courses for new therapy graduates and parents of children birth-3 years of age. In addition, I'm also a Certified Sleep Consultant for infants/toddlers and a Licensed Massage Therapist.

My passion is to help empower parents and new graduates so they can help improve developmental outcomes to babies and toddlers.
