Lesley Chew Wey-Lyn
Occupational Therapist
“I bring creativity and energy to each session, inspired by my two older brothers who sparked my love for play and adventure. I enjoy singing, playing guitar, writing my own songs, and playing volleyball (I even captained my school team!). I’m excited to connect with your child and support their unique journey.”
