Stop for a second … I wanted to introduce/ reintroduce myself and share something cool
Hi, I’m Erin. ❤️
I’m an occupational therapist, nervous system and sensory nerd, mom, adventurer, and someone who believes healing and growth happen best in real life — not just inside clinic walls.
For years, I thought my role was to help “fix” challenges.
Fix the meltdowns.
Fix the behavior.
Fix the overwhelm.
But over time — both professionally and personally — something shifted.I’ve been off for a few months.
I started realizing that the biggest changes don’t happen in therapy rooms alone.
They happen in everyday moments.
On hikes.
At the lake.
During hard transitions.
Through movement, play, connection, safety, and shared experiences,…in real life.
I’ve become deeply passionate about helping families move from simply surviving each day to actually enjoying life together again.
That’s where the idea of Regulation Through Real Life was born. ❤️
A space where kids, parents, caregivers, and helpers can learn, grow, connect, and build confidence and emotional skills through meaningful real-life experiences.
Less focus on “fixing.”
More focus on participation, connection, confidence, and joy.
I’m dreaming up experiences that may include:
✨ family connection
✨ outdoor adventures
✨ nervous system support
✨ play and movement
✨ parent coaching
✨ support for aides/helpers
✨ real-life integration
Honestly, this feels like the most aligned direction my work has ever taken.
Still evolving. Still dreaming. But excited for what’s ahead.
Follow along and tell me where you’re joining from.
