I am an author, speaker, and occupational therapist by trade. My work led me to study the brain and the hidden power within our nervous system. My focus has been on those with neurological and developmental conditions (Autism, ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorders, Stroke, and Dementia). Yet, I now know the intervention practices and approaches I utilize, are meant for us all! Self-Regulation is an amazing ability catalyzed by Mindful practices. It all starts with learning about our brains and the connection to our body. I developed basic concepts and delivery methods to teach children and adults alike.
