About Us

Founded in 2023, Vida Kids Therapy draws its inspiration from the Costa Rican phrase "pura vida," meaning "pure life." Our mission at Vida Kids Therapy is to enrich the lives of children. We are dedicated to enhancing their patients' pediatric physical health, fostering independence, and empowering parents with the knowledge they need.

We currently provide Pediatric Physical Therapy (PT) services virtually or in-person in the comfort of your own home.

Clinic coming soon!

About

Dr. Cynthia Hughell PT, DPT

Cynthia Hughell, half Costa Rican and American, grew up throughout the Americas (South, Central, and North). She is fluent in both Spanish and English and earned her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Every child presents unique challenges, and Cynthia loves the opportunity to craft innovative and enjoyable treatment plans tailored to her clients' individual needs. She considers it a genuine honor and source of joy to work closely with her patients and their parents. 

Outside of work, Cynthia is an early riser who finds solace at the beach and enjoys traveling. She's an avid sports enthusiast, both as a participant and spectator, with favorites including surfing, volleyball, soccer, and ping pong.
