About Kathleen Lockyer, OT/L, LMHP
Â
In 2017 I was working as an educational occupational therapist when my boss sent me to the E.R.
She thought I was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a 'heart event' triggered by overwhelm.Â
I was heart-broken. Drained by providing occupational therapy assessments to so many children without having the power or program to make a lasting change.Â
On the day I was brought to the ER, it was the father of one of my little clients who finally cracked my heart in two. He sat with a table of professionals as they read long reports about what was wrong with his son. Heavy tears welled in his eyes. I wanted to shout, "There is a better solution!"Â
But the rules of education, therapeutic intervention, and organizational insurance said I had to remain quiet.Â
My heart raced. My breath shallowed. I went deaf.
Then I was in the ER.
Realizing how toxic the stress from keeping quiet had become on my health, I quit my job.
I took my years of experience as an in the trenches occupational therapist, early interventionist, clinic-based pediatric therapist, and weaved it with my previous time as an out-of-the-box OT, co-founder of an outdoor school, and created the Nature-Led™ Approach.Â
The Nature-Led Approach isn’t just for struggling children. It is a model that helps all children reach their full potential— while offering rehabilitative solutions for those who missed nature's ongoing offerings for each unique and special human.
