"I am incredibly grateful to Jaycee Volkmann for the exceptional care and support provided to me during my recovery following a stroke. From the very beginning, Jaycee demonstrated not only outstanding clinical expertise but also an unwavering sense of compassion and encouragement that truly made a difference in my healing journey. Beyond occupational therapy, Jaycee was a pillar of emotional support in my greatest time of need. Her patience, kindness, and ability to inspire hope helped me navigate one of the most challenging seasons of my life. Jaycee saw me as a person, valued my progress, and motivated me to keep going even when the road felt overwhelming. I wholeheartedly recommend Jaycee to anyone in need of dedicated and compassionate occupational therapy. Her skill, professionalism, and genuine care left a lasting impact on my life, and I will always be grateful for her role in my recovery."

“It's hard to put into words how grateful I am for Jaycee of Balanced Living OT! I have been struggling with debilitating vertigo, and I was at my wits end. I was unable to get care without waiting months, and I was not sure what to do. Until I came across the Balanced Living website, I knew I was in the right place. Jaycee took the time to listen to my symptoms, provide a detailed educational overview, as well as a comprehensive assessment. Not only did I walk away feel better but she provided me with a care plan and next steps! I cannot say enough good things about my experience and how thoughtful and attentive Jaycee was from start to finish! It is rare to find someone in the healthcare space that truly cares about their patients, Jaycee is one of those people! I will be recommending Jaycee and Balanced Living OT to all my family & friends!”

"After experiencing a major stroke, I was unsure how much independence I would regain. Thanks to Jaycee, my progress has exceeded all expectations. Her expertise, patience, and encouragement have played a crucial role in my recovery. From regaining fine motor skills to improving daily living activities, she tailored every session to my specific needs. She pushed me when I needed motivation and provided unwavering support throughout my journey. Her innovative techniques and hands-on approach made therapy engaging, effective, and very fun at times (during our dancing sessions). I highly recommend Jaycee to anyone recovering from a stroke. Her dedication and compassionate care have truly made a difference in my life. Thank you for helping me regain my confidence and independence!"

I've had the pleasure of knowing Jaycee for a few years now initially as a colleague at Albany Medical Center and more recently as a patient. I was experiencing some subtle balance issues I wasn't quite ready to dismiss as "old age" (I'm soon to be 67). Jaycee is incredibly supportive, professional and thorough (as I knew she would be). She identified my issue and prescribed exercises for me to do independently. The symptoms have resolved so I feel better, safer and plan to continue to perform the exercises intermittently to keep it in check . I was extremely pleased with her care and follow up and will definitely reach out to her again should the need present.

I contacted Jaycee to help with my vestibular neuritis. She responded back to me quickly and was able to begin my therapy right away. Jaycee and her team were very knowledgeable and patient, and helped me through one of the most difficult times of my life. After a couple weeks of therapy, I felt more like myself, and was able to go back to work sooner than expected. I highly recommend this practice! Thank you Jaycee and Balanced Living for all your expertise and support!

Jaycee was highly recommended to us by several folks for outpatient therapy at the time of my hospital discharge. Over the course of few weeks, she completely helped transform me to becoming fully independent and even able to resume travel for business. It has been one of the best experiences I have had with OT/PT resulting in my recovery. Jaycee also supported my wife throughout this journey as an emotional pillar and I will be forever grateful to her for her kind, patient and insightful advice. She is very knowledgeable and gave me very practical exercises and guidance, that I follow everyday.
