Who we are

Chelsie Straub MOTR/L

Chelsie is Co-Owner of Vital Rehab and Wellness, and founder of Pyramid Play. She graduated from Saint Francis University in 2016 with her minor in Exercise Physiology, a Bachelors in Psychology, Bachelors in Health Science, and Masters of Occupational Therapy. Though a bit rusty now, she did complete her minor in American Sign Language as well. She has experience in the school setting, has spent the majority of her career in inpatient rehabilitation and currently mobile outpatient therapies. Chelsie has thrived in providing therapies to those with neurological diagnoses and regaining lost skills through rehab and adaptations. She is certified in primitive reflex integration and continuing education in oral motor skills.

“Ever since my husband, Mitchell, and I started Vital Rehab and Wellness therapies for older adults in 2021 I have dreamed of expanding to the pediatric population. I have had a long desire to work with children for many years but couldn’t find what I was looking for here in State College. After I had my son in 2022, that fire inside me burned even brighter knowing that resources for moms (and dads!) were limited. So, I’m here to finally create them through Pyramid Play!

Embracing the trials and tribulations of motherhood I really love watching my two boys grow and change over time no matter how bitter sweet it is. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, and doing our best to make time feel slow and precious. I love a good audiobook or podcast, writing and creating!”
