KMK Coaching, A Holistic Mental Health Approach

Katherine, from KMK Coaching, is a pediatric occupational therapist with 15+ years of experience helping children with ADHD, autism, sensory processing challenges, and behavioral difficulties. Her work is guided by an understanding that all behavior is an attempt at regulating our nervous systems—and lasting change comes from addressing the root causes of the behavior, not just the symptoms.

In addition to her clinical background, Katherine is a faith-based Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, a Biology of Trauma Professional, and Functional Medicine Health Coach. This unique combination allows her to take a whole-child, whole-family approach to improving attention, focus, emotional regulation, and behavior, both in the classroom and at home—starting with regulating the nervous system and balancing biochemistry.

Katherine specializes in a holistic mental health approach for children and families by building a resilient nervous system, improving sensory integration, and restoring balance to their internal environment. A key component of this process is teaching parents simple, powerful techniques to regulate their own nervous systems because children can only co-regulate when their caregivers are calm and regulated themselves.

Katherine brings compassion and lived experience to her work. Her own healing journey has given her firsthand insight into the power of nervous system regulation and trauma-informed care.

One of her favorite ways to stay grounded is through movement—whether it’s lifting weights, hiking, yin yoga, or a good workout DVD. Her dream? To one day hike 500 miles across the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) in Spain.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, or simply looking for a new path forward for your child, Katherine at KMK Coaching is here to walk alongside you with both science and heart.
