Turn your kids' challenges into superpowers!

Why is the most important job of our lives a total crapshoot?!

 

 

The role of raising a child used to be shared
by an entire village of knowledge.

Understanding things like negative behavior, backtalk and big emotions, was supported by several generations of wisdom.
Elders understood that behavior is a symptom of an underlying skill deficit.



But instead of having generations of support,
maybe you had a nuclear family that lacked wisdom or the skills
to support your behavior?


Instead of being surrounded by wise elders, you find yourself surrounded by the opinions of an uninformed culture, a hurricane of unhelpful information, and for profit baby-business companies trying to sell you more stuff, preying on your overwhelm.
And that is so confusing!

Where do you begin?

In Parent School with the NatureLed Approach, you will have millions of years of evolutionary wisdom to guide you. It’s a program that makes sense because it bridges our interactive history with nature with the modern experience.

It’s just as much for you as it is for your child.

It can be great!

  • You can be the parent you want to be
  • With our approach, parents frequently say “it’s miraculous!”
  • With NatureLed you don’t have to feel alone on your parenting journey.
  • You can learn to trust yourself and help your child to become a great human (while raising yourself!)

So what if…

  • You could talk with someone who has been right where you are? Someone who won’t judge you, but gently guide you to your best parenting self?
  • You had a roadmap that showed you which paths to take and which to avoid?
  • You could call upon ancient wisdom and save yourself fear and stress about how to “do it right?”
    It’s possible to feel surrounded by a village of knowledge and understanding, and be a kinder, more connected, and effective parent.
  • You could like yourself better and love your kid with your whole heart?

"As the parent of a spirited 5-year-old, I’ve tried so many approaches to help my child feel more calm and connected, but nothing clicked—until we discovered Kathleen’s NatureLed™ Approach.

The changes were almost immediate. My child now feels more at ease, and I’ve learned simple, natural ways to support their sensory needs without feeling overwhelmed. It’s like Kathleen handed me the key to truly understanding my child, and I can’t thank her enough."

Liam's Story

 

When 7-year-old Liam struggled with sensory processing challenges and anxiety, his parents felt overwhelmed by the lack of cohesive solutions.

After enrolling in a program rooted in Kathleen Lockyer’s NatureLed™ Approach, they gained practical tools and strategies to support Liam’s unique needs.

Using behavior-tracking templates, they identified patterns in his sensory regulation and tailored their approach.
By incorporating connective language to foster emotional understanding and playful activities that engaged Liam’s vestibular system, like balancing games and obstacle courses, his family saw remarkable changes.

Within weeks, Liam was calmer, more focused, and eager to explore sensory treasure hunts and visual seek-and-find games outdoors.

The NatureLed™ Approach empowered his parents with actionable insights and tools, creating a framework that supported Liam’s development and strengthened their family bond.

Today, Liam is thriving, and his parents feel confident and equipped to guide him toward continued growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m Kathleen Lockyer

OT/L, LMHP, Seasoned Occupational Therapist and Creator of the NatureLed Approach

 

When I became a mother 27 years ago, I stepped away from the familiar, from the safety of a typical path, and embarked on a journey to redefine what it means to grow, heal, and raise wonderful humans.

The Nature-Led Approach isn’t just a method; it’s a movement.

It’s not solely for children who struggle within traditional bounds but for every child, and frankly, every adult, who believes in the transformative power of nature, connection, and a holistic approach to well-being.

It's about harnessing nature's timeless wisdom to foster environments where every unique and special individual can flourish.

So, if you’re yearning for a fresh perspective, if you believe in the potential within every child, or if you’re simply curious about how nature can be the most powerful co-parent, then you’re in the right place.

Together, we've got this!
