Zielia is an Occupational Therapy Assistant with 11 years of experience, including 8 in pediatrics. Her lifelong passion for working with children is rooted in both her professional work and personal life as the oldest of four siblings and a mother of three with five stepchildren. She began her career in health and wellness as a personal trainer, owning Liveloud Fitness for eight years, and later co-owned a healthy meal prep business with her husband, David.

Zielia discovered her passion for occupational therapy while studying at South University, where a pediatric clinical rotation confirmed her calling to work with children. She has specialized training in sensory integration, primitive reflex integration, and interoception awareness, and is dedicated to supporting families as they navigate sensory processing challenges. She is currently pursuing certification as a Visual Rehabilitation Specialist and is working toward building a ministry-centered therapeutic community in the Dade City area with her husband.
