Who we are

Leighann Breuer, PT, DPT

Leighann Breuer is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy who earned her DPT from Daemen College in 2015. With a deep commitment to pediatric care, Leighann has built her career around advocating for children with complex medical needs, including those with rare genetic disorders and developmental movement disorders. Her clinical expertise is matched by her dedication to helping every child reach their fullest potential—both physically and emotionally.

As a co-founder of Sunshine Therapy in Penn Yan, NY, Leighann envisioned a practice that prioritizes connection, compassion, and progress. She is known for her ability to build strong, trusting relationships with children and their families, helping to create a safe and supportive environment where therapy feels empowering, not overwhelming.

Leighann takes pride in celebrating every achievement—whether it’s a first step, a new skill, or a moment of confidence—and works closely with families to ensure each milestone is recognized and valued.

When she’s not in the clinic, Leighann enjoys coaching youth sports and spending time with her husband, Jeff, and their two children, Brynlee and Carson. Together, they love exploring the Finger Lakes, boating, gardening, and movie nights as a family.

At the heart of our practice is a commitment to empower children and families by providing individualized, evidence-based therapy services that promote progress, movement confidence, fine motor integration, sensory integration and inclusion in all aspects of their lives.
