I’ve always believed connection is the foundation for growth and now I’m supporting that connection in a new way. 🤍

🌿As a nature-based pediatric OT, I work with children and families to regulate, move, and thrive through play and the outdoors.

And now, I’ve added a new layer as a certified babywearing consultant.

👶🏼Babywearing is such a powerful tool that nurtures bonding, supports development, and allows parents/caregivers to manage everyday life with greater ease. I’ve learned so much through this process and can’t wait to share more.

If you have questions about which carrier to use, how to properly fit a carrier, or just need some extra support with babywearing, I’m here to help and will be offering virtual visits.

Through this space, I’ll be sharing practical tips for outdoor play, child development insights, and bits of my journey as a mom, OT, and babywearing educator. 🫶🏼

Hellllllloooooo June 👋🏼

Here’s to soaking up the magic of sweet summertime. ☀️💛🌼

We all want our kids to be independent - to manage their own emotions, to solve their own problems, to “do it on their own.”

But here’s the truth - self-regulation, independence, and resilience all begin with co-regulation and connection. 🫶🏼

It’s not about doing it for them. It’s about doing it WITH them. Over and over again, until those repeated experiences of co-regulation build the brain pathways for internal calm.

Because when a child feels safe, connected, and seen - that’s when growth happens. 🌿

Another semester of peds lab with 🥳 It is such a joy and honor to watch these future OT’s learn so much and grow in their skills & confidence 🫶🏼

Sometimes progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s quiet and subtle.

Your child puts their shoes on without help or frustration. Or they notice what their body needs and they express it. Or they get enough confidence to go up the hill without holding a hand.

Even those quiet moments are powerful. They’re signs of growth and they deserve to be celebrated too.

And you bet I’ll be right there to celebrate those wins right alongside you. 🫶🏼

Celebrating TWO years of Grounded Roots OT today! 🥳

I am beyond grateful for every moment spent embracing the Midwest weather, every connection made, and for every person who has been part of this journey. 🤍

2 big lessons I’ve learned from both being a business owner + working with kids:
1️⃣Keep it simple - the magic is in the basics and it’s really not necessary to overcomplicate it.
2️⃣Presence > perfection - we don’t need to get it all right. We just need to show up fully, even when things may be messy or imperfect.

To my clients & families, community, friends, and family - thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Cheers to all that’s to come! 🎉

When I was thinking about a name for this business, I wanted it to really mean something and reflect the heart of the work I do and the values I carry into each session.

Grounded Roots OT came from a deep belief that kids grow best when they feel safe, supported, and regulated and that the real work, the powerful work, often happens at the foundational level.

It’s also a reflection of our mission:
Promoting child development and family well-being by connecting to the great outdoors. 🌿

This is what we’re about. 🤍
