Description

In this heartfelt and deeply insightful conversation, host Julianne Nienberg sits down with Kim Wilson, pediatric occupational therapist and founder of Nature’s Path OT. They dive into the world of sensory needs, emotional regulation, trauma-informed parenting, and how outdoor-based occupational therapy can transform your relationship with your child.

Kim shares her personal story of starting a nature-based OT practice in Colorado after years in traditional therapy settings and how taking therapy outside not only supports children’s development but regulates entire families. They talk about everything from primitive reflexes to nervous system resets, plus the controversial but important conversation about how boys are being mislabeled in schools.

Whether you’re parenting a sensory seeker, a wild explorer, or a child who just seems “more,” this conversation is full of encouragement, spiritual perspective, and actionable wisdom.
