Welcome! I'm Katie

I know on the outside it may look easy to slap together some sensory tools and call it a day. I've been in your shoes. Even as an occupational therapist, when my own children have sensory challenges it can feel like my cup is running on empty. Whether it's in the classroom setting or at home, dyregulation can be a key trigger for leading families to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and as if they are failing. I'm in your corner and I can bet you are doing your absolute best. Once we work together and find the root of the dysregulation, better understand each person's sensory processing patterns, and take a neurodivergent affirming approach to sensory strategies the whole family dynamic and team in you and your child's life will function better. 

your personal holistic sensory strategy coach & Occupational Therapist. I'm Passionate about regulation & Helping your Family Thrive! Here at Nourish your life, we take a personalized and individually crafted approach.  

MORe >

When we work together, I take my knowledge from years of practice in areas of sensory processing, visual motor and grasping difficulties, motor planning and coordination, feeding challenges, emotional regulation & behavioral challenges, and continuing education in programs such as Handwriting Without Tears, Certified Infant Massage Coach, Pediatric Yoga & Mindfulness, Changing the ADHD brain, Autism Level Up, Complex Feeding & ARFID, and always maintain a neurodivergent affirming practice. You don't just get a professional who is there for you, you also get a parent who has walked the walk. 

Imagine being so in tune with your child that you know how to support them in times of need..instead of feeling lost in the woods. 

Learn to be a sensory detective & feel empowered to create daily strategies that work!

is immeasurable.
Jayme, Owner Smart Diehl Academy 

Katie not only provided invaluable clinical guidance but also shared her deep passion for helping tiny humans thrive. Her ability to connect with children and families with patience, creativity, and compassion was something I admired. Her sensory friendly approach made therapy sessions not only effective but also safe and enjoyable space for children
to learn and grow.

Where do you practice?
 NYL Occupational Therapy services are conciege based. We come to you and serve in the natural environment with less time restraints than a traditional model. More personalized, more communication, better access to care. Virtual Coaching & Workshops are through video communication methods scheduled at a convenient time for your life. 

Do you accept insurance?
We do not currently accept insurance. Insurance providers require documentation based on a deficit model. NYL approaches from a neuro affirming and supportive model. Nourish Your Life addresses challenges that arise due to differences, but we choose not to operate in deficits-based language. We do, however, accept FSA/HSA and ESA + grants to cover services as well as sending monthly superbills for families to be reimbursed by insurance should they choose.
