You've got questions. We've got answers.
This training gives you breadth of intervention possibilities. It does not go into the details of how to do each intervention. It will share OT specific interventions along with how nature becomes a part of the intervention and what the evidence states.
Rooted in Rhythm Intervention Training is not a scripted program or a one-size-fits-all plan.
Instead, it offers you a rich foundation of possibilities, grounded in neuroscience, sensory-motor development, regulation theory, and nature-based practice. You are given the why, the evidence, and the framework, so you can design experiences that are authentic to your children, your setting, and your unique professional voice.
This training invites your creativity, intuition, and clinical reasoning to come alive. It honors that meaningful programs are not copied—they are cultivated. What you build from this training will be shaped by your passions, values, and the populations you serve.
Rooted in Rhythm supports you in seeing what is possible
but your purpose is what sustains it. Purpose and passion are what create longevity, integrity, and resilience in your business and in your work.

Nature evidence is delivered in a meaningful way so you understand how nature becomes the co-therapist and supporting you in reaching meaningful outcomes.
Each "R" guides you in a focus area either for an individual, group or population need.
Roots: What is our scope of practice? How can we serve in collaboration with nature?
Resonance: We know that connection and therapeutic use of self are key to the therapeutic alliance but how does nature and animal connection become part of the intervention or program?
Rhythm: How does nature support regulation including arousal state?
Restoration: How does nature support sensory motor skill development? Nature play is a great facilitator of skill development.
Realization: How does nature support self regulation...emotional and behavioral regulation? What does risk have to do with it?
Resilience: How does nature become a lifelong component of building a resilient life style?
