What we do for your o to 5 year old
Infant MAssage
Through touch babies learn to calm their bodies and get better sleep. Infant massage has a lot of benefits not only for your baby but also for your relationship.
Feeding Therapy and CoNsultations
Eating is a SKILL that needs to be learned. The Sequential Oral Sensory approach to feeding is a playful way to engage your baby, picky eater or problem feeder with new foods.
Developmental support
Development is not linear and it can be tricky to know as a parent if a delay has a deeper cause. This can create stress and frustration in the family. By taking a thorough look with a comprehensive evaluation from a licensed and registered professional you can get peace of mind.
What we do for you - the Parent

Research on mindfulness has shown that this practice can support self-regulation, reduce anxiety and improve wellbeing. A self-regulated parent is able to engage with their children and will create a happier and healthier family life.

Occupational TheRapy based parent Coaching
At Mindful Family Occupational Therapy LLC the family is in the focus of the process.
The mission is to empower parents to support their children in their development.
Through a parent coaching approach parents implement strategies throughout the day and get the best results for their children.
This is based on research that has shown over and over that little ones learn best from their primary caregivers. The child and parent bond is a strong amplifier for learning. Another reason is that the parents can repeat an exercise multiple times per day - which is key in the early years. We learn through repetition. Providing services in the safety and comfort of the home is another benefit. Especially in early childhood children need to feel relaxed to learn.
Hello!
Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm Katrin, originally from Germany, and I'm excited to share my expertise with you. My education is not only from Germany, where I started my occupational therapy journey, but includes The Netherlands and spans all the way to the US.
My various experiences from working Germany and in the US shaped me to become the clinician I am today. I had the privilege to work together with extraordinary professional from different disciplines in early intervention and depend my knowledge about those early years.

Since 2020, Nashville, TN, has been my home, and I am thrilled to engage with the local community by offering my occupational therapy services.

Do you fall into old patterns that you sworn to never repeat?
That is your automatic mode.
Mindfulness has the power to make you not only aware of how you think but can also support you in changing your behaviors as a parent!
A mindfulness practice invites you to see what really is happening in a given moment. With the power of non-judging you can be open to what is happening.
You can act with intention rather than re-acting.
This is an essential skill to have as a parent!
