Growing up in a Spanish speaking home, Gessyka loves to work with the bilingual population, which was useful with such a large Hispanic population in Florida.
She started her family in Orlando, with her husband Chris of 26 years, and moved to the Milton area in 2012, where she stayed at home to raise their then 4 year old son, Evan and 7 year old daughter, Bella. Fast forward 10½ years, with a senior graduating high school and a freshman, it seemed like the right time to get back into it and found In Harmony Pediatric Therapy to be a great fit. Gessyka enjoys spending time with her family, working out, running, listening to live music and weekends at the lake. She is excited for this next chapter.
