Driven By Science. Led By Nature.

The future of therapy is NatureLed™

 

I’m Kathleen Lockyer. For 30 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of OT and the living world to restore the human context of development.

By honoring the wisdom of the past and the evolution of our neuro-biological needs, I help families and practitioners rethink resilience, behavior, and what it means to truly thrive.

Raised a little wild by a rugged fisherman from Newfoundland, Canada and a little refined by a debutante from New York City, I bring both grit and grace to my courses, writing, and speaking.

A smiling Kathleen with long gray hair stands against a plain background, wearing a burgundy shirt and a necklace with a green pendant, reflecting her deep connection to nature.
A toddler in an orange shirt walks on the grass, sunlight illuminating their hair. This moment of connection with nature supports the peaceful scene, where a person sits quietly in the background.

In an era dominated by screens, learn the indispensable value of our connection-based approach.


Our teachings provide a balanced "both-and" perspective, acknowledging the role of technology while emphasizing the critical need for nature to develop healthy, ethical, and technologically savvy future generations.

Welcome to the beginning of a beautiful journey back to nature, back to connection, and back to the best version of you and the best version of the kids you love and care for.

Welcome to RxOUTSIDE!

More than half of parents
live with chronic stress.

Children are struggling with anxiety, negative behaviors, sensory overload, and emotional dysregulation.

Parents and professionals feel burnt out, frustrated, and uncertain about how to help. 

 

The need for a transformative approach to parenting and child development has never been more critical.
RxOUTSIDE offers a lifeline through the NatureLed™ Approach, developed over almost three decades of occupational therapy practice, and a deep commitment to the core routines of nature-connection.

It's time to address these challenges head-on, using the healing and connective power of nature's wisdom and relational-regulation.
