Meet THE OWNER

Ester Marcellin, M.S., OTR/L

Owner, Pediatric Occupational Therapist

Hi, I'm Ester, a playful occupational therapist with over 16 years of experience. I launched Planet Sensory with the dream to help children overcome sensory challenges in a space that was designed just for them— with slides, monkey bars, climbing walls, and a zipline! My goal is to create a safe and engaging environment for kids to explore, improve their sensory and motor skills, and feel empowered to try hard things.

Throughout my career, I have pursued specialized training in sensory-based therapy, becoming an Advanced Mentored Clinician with the STAR Institute for Sensory Processing and obtaining a certification in Primitive Reflex Integration. In June 2024, I also became an evaluator for the NYC Board of Education’s CPSE preschool program.

As a mother of two, I understand the concerns and hopes that you have for your children’s development. I will do everything I can to ensure that your family feels heard and supported throughout our journey together!

Kind Words

"Ms. Ester is a wonderful OT!"

"Ms. Ester is a wonderful OT! Not only did she work on our son’s IEP goals, but she also addressed his sensory needs, which made a huge difference. Our son looked forward to OT day every Tuesday. She made it fun and engaging. We truly appreciate everything she did.”
~ Mom of a neurodivergent 1st grader
"Ester’s expertise and dedication have truly made a difference..."

“Ester is dedicated to her work and truly cares for the children she serves. From [my daughter’s] first session, Ester’s warm and inviting approach made her feel comfortable and excited to learn. Ester’s expertise and dedication have truly made a difference in our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for the support and progress we’ve seen. Thank you, Ester and the Planet Sensory OT team!”
~ T.G., parent
"Ester is fantastic with children."

“Ester is fantastic with children. She is kind, caring, and always sees the best in people. She helps others recognize and reach their potential, always keeping their best interests in mind.
~ Mom of a 4th grader
"It is a blessing to have a provider... that loves her clients..."

“Ms. Ester was my son's OT provider for 1 year, and he absolutely adored her. It is a blessing to have a provider included on an education team that loves her clients and is passionate about her practice. She was the first to explain his sensory processing needs to me and wasn't afraid to educate his teachers on his needs as well. I cannot wait for him to return to therapy with her at Planet Sensory.”
~ C.W., parent
