I'm Katie, a certified neonatal therapist, founder of blooming littles, & NICU mom!
I know how challenging it is to build confidence as a NICU clinician. NICU families are often underserved, while NICU providers are overwhelmed.
I've taken evidence-based data and feedback from hundreds of NICU families to give you the tools needed to create positive, family-integrated, and neuro-supportive experiences at the NICU bedside, without the overwhelm.
I've served over 5,000 NICU families & providers.
