The path to parenting your baby in the NICU just got a little bit easier.
Born to Bloom® is a 7-day guided NICU experience designed to help you understand your baby's cues, participate in their care, and feel more confident and involved through your NICU journey.
You know you’re a parent. But sometimes the NICU makes it hard to feel like one.
You love your baby more than you could have imagined.
And suddenly, there are monitors, wires, tubes, alarms, unfamiliar terminology, and a team of people caring for your baby around the clock.
- What does NICU care actually look like?
- Will I be able to hold them?
- What if I hurt or overstimulate them?
- How will I be a part of this experience?
- I'll just let the nurse do it...
- Am I doing enough?
And sometimes, you may simply feel like you’re standing on the sidelines while everyone else takes care of your baby.
You don’t need another overwhelming list of information.
You need someone to show you how to be a parent in the NICU, starting today.
You don't have to figure out the NICU alone.

The Born to Bloom® Guidebook
The 7-Day NICU Confidence Roadmap
Practical activities designed to help you participate - not parent alone.
The activities give you simple ways to practice and apply what you're learning with your own baby while creating opportunities to bring questions and ideas into conversations with your care team.
Because confidence doesn’t come from simply reading about what to do with your baby.
It comes from doing it yourself.
Practice Together with Learning Activities
You’re not just reading about NICU parenting.
Each day includes a short, informal video where Katie walks you through the day’s focus and helps you understand how it applies to your baby.
No long lessons. No overwhelming lectures.
Just practical guidance designed to feel like someone who understands the NICU sitting down with you and saying, “Okay. Let’s talk about what this means for you and your baby."
Daily Video Guidance
Everything you need to start getting involved and empowered while your baby is in the NICU.
Access a growing library of hands-on NICU skill videos showing you how to participate in everyday care alongside your baby's care team.
Come back whenever you need a little guidance, or when you're ready to try something new.
Examples include:
- Diaper changes
- Four-handed care
- Bathing
- Other practical NICU care skills

Hi, there!
As a certified neonatal occupational therapist with a decade of experience caring for hundreds of medically fragile babies in one of the largest NICUs in the United States, I'm here to help you learn the skills that will allow you to parent your baby with purpose and create the most positive NICU experience possible. Because you're not a bystander, you're a parent.
There are plenty of newborn courses and parenting resources out there. But your baby isn't having a typical newborn experience -- and you don't need typical newborn advice.
If you want to learn how to navigate the NICU and be there for your baby in the most supportive ways possible, you're in the right place.
