Do you want to raise your child to thrive?
And enjoy your parenting journey?
Raising a highly sensitive and/or neurodiverse child is not always easy, but it also doesn't have to be hard.
As a highly sensitive (and undiagnosed ADHD) mom with children who follow similar patterns, I get this.
Coming from a family with sensitivities, neurodiversities, and significant trauma, I get this.
As a woman who has worked with children almost all my life, I get this.
As a child I was given the gift of breathwork and meditation from my Mam, who approached our concerns very holistically. Although I set out for business school, after a near death experience I quickly returned to my healing and teaching roots, reconnecting with my life purpose I recognized as a child... but was mystified how to go about it.
Since then I have pursued a wide variety of holistic learning, worked through enough of my own and intergenerational SH*T, become a Registered Expert Yoga Instructor (ERYT-500), Registered Prenatal Yoga & Children's Yoga Instructor, Craniosacral & Somatic Therapist, Clinical Counsellor, founded a Registered Children's Yoga School, and more. Why?
I am passionate about learning and integrating holistic practices to empower sensitive and neurodiverse families.
As parents, we hold an incredible opportunity to create change for ourselves, our families & future generations.
With co-regulation beginning in utero, we play a vital role in influencing our children's nervous system and subconscious.
Our little teachers offer us the opportunity to grow and find greater alignment... but first,
we need to nourish ourselves to recognize our patterns and tune into our inner wisdom to be able to lead by example.
This is especially true for those of us who have a highly sensitive or neurodiverse child, and even more critical if we are also.
In working with a myriad of presentations, spectrums and overlaps of sensitivities, from sensory processing differences (not disorder), to ADHD, to Autism, and beyond, I have learned a thing or two. One is that a holistic, systems approach 100% does help to not only mitigate concerns, but it also empowers the entire family in a sustainable way.
I am not a speech therapist, a Doctor, or a psychiatrist...
but I can offer recommendations if you are searching for this support, and even help you in tandem.
My work is rooted in fostering healthy, holistic systems within and to supporting individuals and families,
the nervous system, and Holistic Integrative Development Therapy© to empower families to thrive!
Allow me to empower your family, in a way that honours your unique values, needs & vision!
I understand the challenges of...
Being pulled in a million directions with little support & time to nourish yourself
Feeling helpless, isolated, and even ashamed to ask how to parent your child & support their needs
Wanting to parent in a way that is supportive, but feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information
Feeling triggered by your child's big emotions and challenges & struggling to react from a calm space
Generational patterns surfacing & struggling to release them so you don't pass them along
Your heart breaking when you see your child struggling in friendships, school and life
Are you over parenting tactics that work for the short-term, leaving you second guessing yourself and back to trying to find the answer?
The neurodiverse and highly sensitive child in particular, are picking up on our energy more than our words, meaning coregulation is essential. But we've been taught not to trust our body wisdom or intuition, to look outside of ourselves for solutions, that we are never good enough. Statistically, many of us had our boundaries compromised and this makes it hard to trust our body wisdom, leaving deep, unconscious patterns of fear and shame. So naturally we want a different experience for our children and to protect them, seeking the advice of experts.
How can we embrace calm, connected parenting from this space?
It is in tuning back in, that we are able to hear our needs, nourish ourselves, and embrace our intuition and the power of coregulation to help our children thrive. On size does not fit all in parenting! If you have more than one child, you know that each child is unique, and what worked for one child is not necessarily going to support another. Take a peek below!
This is why we need to understand our child's true essence and approach holistically, to hear the heart of the matter.
The first step is nourishing ourselves. I am here to help you reconnect with yourself compassionately, and to learn holistic and science-based tools, so you can enjoy greater peace and joy on your parenting journey. In doing so, you will be able to embrace all of yourself, heal your patterns, understand your child's true nature, their strengths and challenges, and parent your highly sensitive child in way that empowers them to thrive!
What are your sacred child's unique gifts?
When we are able to tune into and honour our child's uniqueness, parenting becomes significantly easier. We are able to understand their sacred energy and mission, why they sometimes do the things that trigger us, and support them from a heart-centred space. From this perspective we are better able to guide our children, answering both their soul calling and ours, to grow symbiotically and thrive.
Our highly sensitive and neurodiverse children are very tuned into our energy. And when we respond from this heart centred space to help them explore and express their needs, we empower them to create meaningful change... and give them a powerful skill-set for life!
But first, we need to be nourished.
Why Do I Offer Parenting Support?
Many of my clients experienced challenging births or postpartum phases with a lack of meaningful support.
Moms, Dads, and children often have unresolved trauma trapped in their nervous system from this experience.
This is often amplified with the challenges of raising a highly sensitive or neurodiverse child.
Most of my clients are Moms who come to me after tirelessly trying other tactics that don't work for their child.
They are tired and understand the need for a more holistic approach that will address underlying patterns and concerns.
All of my clients are incredible parents who wish to do their best for their children, but most feel lost, helpless, or overwhelmed.
They wonder why it's not working for them. What's wrong with them or their child. They feel the parenting guilt.
Many feel stuck in old patterns, but when they are tired and triggered, they come up... feeding into further negative feelings.
They know they want change, but aren't sure what this looks like or how to get there.
I get it, and I know it takes a holistic approach and the support of others to create the change we desire.
We are not meant to walk this journey alone, and healing is not linear.
Say goodbye to overwhelm and guilt,
to embrace the calm, confident version of you,
and empower your family to thrive!

I'm a mom to two highly sensitive little girls, with family members who have been ADHD diagnosed and others without a formal diagnosis. I understand the challenges that come with being a highly sensitive mom, and having nearly a lifetime of practicing meditation, breathwork & Somatic tools... I also know how powerful this can be in mitigating overwhelm and setting ourselves and families up to thrive!
Since I was a child I was told I had healing hands and should be a teacher, yet I pursued a Business degree from UBC. Shortly after graduating I began healing my personal & intergenerational patterns, and understood I needed to follow my calling into healing & teaching.

"Katie is so compassionate and knowledgeable in her craft. I always feel safe in her care and trust her in her work.

REBECCA
"Katie is incredible to work with. She helped with my own neck pain and also worked wonders on my daughter's nervous system."
MANDY
"I had the pleasure of receiving a Craniosacral treatment from Katie. When she started at my feet , I immediately felt like I was surrounded in this lovely, nurturing energy. What Katie shared with me after was all absolutely true, and a helpful take away I can work with. I would highly recommend Katie to be part of your healing journey."

Heart Centred Parenting Course
Nourish Yourself & Empower Your Family to Thrive!
You're the Heart of It
Each parent-child relationship is completely unique, and with so much wonderful (but often conflicting) advice, it can make our parenting journeys even more overwhelming. This is especially true if you or your child is highly sensitive or neurodiverse. But the truth is... only YOU truly know what your child needs. I am here to help you uncover this through my unique framework, guiding you to nourish yourself and tune into your intuition.
I guide you in a culturally and trauma-sensitive way to explore your vision as a parent, with meditations, audio, video, and a journal.

Some of the Amazing Practitioners I Collab With!
Many of whom joined our Parenting Your Sensitive Child Summit
(included in the Heart Centred Parenting course above)
Holistic Family Support
You're a busy parent who wants personalized support on your time.
Get the holistic support your family needs to create connected environments to thrive! Many clients say their children's emotions amplify their overwhelm, and sometimes generational patterns they don't like show up. I completely understand this. And when these overwhelming challenges show up and our bandwidth is limited, it's easy to react to the triggers and often from unconscious patterns we learned when we were young - our fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns. I support you in creating sustainable, inspiring ways to nourish your nervous system so you can:1. Help set the tone for your family2. Release the patterns that show up when you're triggered3. Create healthy patterns aligned with your parenting approach, and4. Help you to lead by example from a heart-centred space, to help your child thrive!
What do these sessions look like?
Our sessions generally occur over 3 months, drawing upon the various modalities I work with to nourish the family nervous system; breathwork, bilateral therapies, art, sound, meditation or mindfulness, Craniosacral & Somatic practices, and more. As our family nervous systems are intricately connected, I also provide you with resources to nourish your family nervous at home.
Week 1: Our first session being a meeting with the parent(s) for a 90 minute intake to explore your concerns, desired outcomes, systems and patterns, and supportive practices to nourish your nervous system. I support you in understanding your child's uniqueness, their sacred energy and mission, so you can support them in your symbiotic sacred calling.
Week 2: I see each parent individually, allowing us to dive a little deeper into your experience and areas you feel you need support. We will also how your self-care plan went and anything we may need to modify to best suit you.
In weeks 3 and 4: I work with child(ren) and one parent at a time. Children sessions can be split amongst siblings as appropriate. Parents are present for sessions. Children over 8, my focus will be with them primarily. Under 8 my focus will be working with one parent and child at a time. Under 4 years, I will be guiding one parent in play activities with child.
Week 5: I generally like to touch base with parents again - see what has come up for you, what is working, and where you need further support. This may be a deeper session for you, depending on where you are at.
Week 6: I touch base with the child(ren) again, to see what has changed for them, what is working, and where we can further support.
Week 7: I see both parents again individually to again explore your experiences and where you may need further support. This may be related to your personal experiences, and/ or experiences as a parent and through this process.
Week 9: is our final session with both parents together. In this session we explore what has come up individually, together, and as a family. Often this is sufficient for the family unit to have the resources they need to move forward. Some families may choose to touch base in 3 months, continue their SSP subscription, or reach out again when you feel you need more support as life changes and children meet another milestone that may present challenges. I am always here and happy to continue to support you, and you have the courses included for life!
You will also receive:
BONUS 1: Courses on the gloWithin App to support your whole family, with practical, fun tools for sustainable self-care. These tools are quick to watch so you can try incorporating them into your day!
