Is Abiding OT the Right Fit?

Abiding OT supports children and athletes as they grow in awareness, confidence, and connection. Often, they may feel overwhelmed, dysregulated, or unsure of themselves in daily life or performance- this is where we come in.

You might consider reaching out if your child or athlete:

  • struggles when demands increase

  • experiences big emotions, shutdowns, or difficulty with regulation

  • has sensory, coordination, or body-awareness challenges

  • feels anxious or loses confidence under pressure

  • needs support that looks beyond drills, behavior charts, or quick fixes

If you’re wondering whether Abiding OT is appropriate for your child or athlete, a brief consultation call can help clarify next steps. There’s no obligation — just space to ask questions and explore whether this approach aligns with your needs.

Pediatric Nature-Based Occupational Therapy

Abiding OT offers nature-based, trauma-informed occupational therapy for children with sensory, regulation, and developmental challenges. Shaped by faith, rooted in relationship, and grounded in evidence, my approach uses connection, co-regulation, and outdoor play to help children feel safe, connected, and empowered to grow — building the regulation and resilience they need for everyday life. I partner with families so progress isn’t just seen in therapy, but carried into home, school, and everyday moments.

Areas of Focus:

• Sensory + emotional regulation

• Motor planning + coordination

• Executive functioning

• Primitive reflexes

• Social participation

• Play-based learning

How it works:
A comprehensive OT evaluation guides individualized treatment using nature-based, movement-centered, and regulation-focused interventions.

1:1 Athlete Performance Coaching

Athletes don’t just need stronger skills — they need a stronger inner game.
Through personalized coaching rooted in nervous system science and sport experience, I help athletes learn how to stay focused and confident under pressure.

Together, we work on:

  • building consistent pre-performance routines

  • managing nerves and recovering quickly from mistakes

  • sharpening timing, reactions, awareness, and decision-making

  • playing with clarity instead of overwhelm

  • strengthening mental toughness in a healthy, sustainable way

This is performance coaching, not therapy — designed for athletes who want practical tools they can apply in training and competition. Whether your athlete is preparing for a big season, navigating confidence challenges, or simply wanting more consistency, this process gives them the skills to perform from a steadier, more regulated place.
