About Us
Specialized Pediatric Therapies: Located in Franklin, Serving Families Throughout Middle Tennessee
Since 2014, Looking Ahead Pediatric Therapies has been a trusted partner to parents, helping little ones thrive through compassionate, expert care.
Founded by Andrea Callanen, Looking Ahead was built on the belief that early intervention is everything—beginning with specialized torticollis care to help babies grow symmetrically and avoid the need for a helmet.
From those roots, our team has grown to support babies and toddlers across a range of specialties such as motor development, speech therapy, and feeding therapy—all guided by the same vision of early identification, personalized care, and unwavering belief in your child’s potential.
Small steps today.
Bright futures tomorrow.
Because every child deserves a strong start. And every parent deserves a trusted partner on the journey.

Before & After Gallery
See The Difference in Early Intervention
Physical therapy is the best treatment option for torticollis and plagiocephaly—because it treats the root cause, not just the visible symptoms. The earlier we start, the better the outcome. At Looking Ahead, 85% of babies who receive care are able to avoid a helmet altogether, with measurable progress you can see and your baby can feel.
“Looking Ahead Pediatric PT made such a difference for our twin baby girls, as they helped us navigate their torticollis. As we watched them work with our two babies, it was evident that they take a highly individualized approach to each child’s needs. They provided such impactful and intentional exercises and direction. Andrea and her team are skilled and competent. On top of that, it was such a fun environment. Strangely enough, they took a somewhat stressful concern and made it something that I looked forward to each week. We developed such a sweet relationship with their team, and they were so accommodating. Looking back, they really helped prevent the girls from needing further intervention and we’re so grateful. It was AMAZING to see their before and afters and watch their development soar. Thank you, Looking Ahead!”
— Jordan Fiebke“Andrea and all of the Looking ahead therapists are truly amazing! They are so personable and knowledgeable. They make all the “homework” easy and are always there for any questions. They truly care about making your kid the best version of themselves. Can’t recommend enough!”
— Madison Lowe
“I can not say enough good things about our experience with Looking Ahead! We saw Kayla for feeding therapy and Andrea for physical therapy for my daughter. They both did a wonderful job of explaining concerns and treatments for her tongue tie and torticollis. And when needed, they referred us to other specialists for her tongue tie release and cranial helmet. They followed us through those other treatments as well. I liked the online portal for the physical therapy homework, having that information accessible on my phone was very valuable. We will miss Andrea, her attentiveness, and guidance now that we’ve graduated from physical therapy!”

“Looking Ahead provided top tier services for our twins. Every single staff member is kind and a joy to work with! We are so grateful for their assistance and guidance. If you are looking for a wonderful experience with knowledgeable physical therapists, this is the place to go.”

“This is THE PLACE to go if you’re looking for honest, passionate, accommodating, and knowledge[able] physical therapists, who not only care, but are truly amazing at what they do! Jessica has not only impressed me, she has impressed my daughter who hates tummy time and stretching! She has a way about her that puts my baby at ease and helps her loosen up. Jessica is so patient and helpful, she has really supported us through our journey with my daughter’s helmet as well. She is more than a physical therapist, she’s an advocate for your baby and cares so much about their progress and end results. She makes exercises fun and clearly explains what is being done during the session so I can understand how to help my baby when it’s just us. I’ve already recommended looking ahead to a friend of mine! All of these Google reviews speak for themselves.”
— April St-Onge
“Andrea was such a bright light in what (for me) was a bit of an isolating & challenging time after my daughter was born. We started seeing Andrea for my daughter's head preference / torticollis at ~4w old. We visited weekly until about 4mo old and our appointments were always so helpful (and fun!). She helped us resolve our breastfeeding complications, the torticollis, and overall best set our daughter up for continued development as she grows! Thank you so much Andrea!”
