Nicole Koranda, OTR/L graduated from Mount Mary University in 1998. Her passion has always been working in pediatrics. She has experience working in outpatient pediatric clinics, hospitals, schools, and home health. Nicole has been trained in treatment techniques for Irlen Syndrome at the Irlen Institute in Longbeach Calf., Primitive Reflexes, Pediatric Kinesio Taping, Interactive Metronome, The Astronaut Protocol, Therapeutic Listening, Sequential Oral Sensory Feeding, and the TEACCH Autism Program.

Nicole moved to Hawaii with her husband and two children in the summer of 2010. When they landed on the Big Island of Hawaii they were greeted with Aloha and decided to embrace the island life. While working in the Waimea and Kohala schools, Nicole was surprised of the limited outpatient pediatric clinics for children with special needs. At that moment, Nicole's husband said, "some day you will own a pediatric clinic on this island." That dream/vision came true in 2019.
Educating parents and family members on how to maximize a child's independence in daily living skills is Nicole's passion. In her free time, she enjoys playing pickleball, swimming, snorkeling, and hiking with her family.

Jennifer Anlauf, MOT, OTR/L, moved to Hawaii from California shortly after obtaining her Master's in Occupational Therapy from Loma Linda University in 2006. Her interest in pediatrics was piqued during her Level II Fieldwork experience at an outpatient pediatric clinic setting where she worked closely with occupational therapists and speech therapists providing care to a diverse pediatric population. Jennifer also had the opportunity to design and implement an occupational therapy program for at-risk youth during her Master's year which was successful enough to have an article published about the program in California's Occupational Therapy Association's magazine.
Before becoming an independent contractor with Keiki Therapy, Jennifer's career led her to support and advocate for individuals across the lifespan in a variety of settings (schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics, skilled nursing facilities and home health) and with multiple diagnoses and challenges. She values each person/family as unique and has seen the transformative power of therapeutic intervention.
Jennifer has experience supervising occupational therapy programming and providing direct service in a private school setting on Oahu and for the Department of Education in the East Hawaii Region.

Holistic care is her constant goal.
