 Kathleen Lockyer Guillermo is an Occupational Therapist who is working to build a bridge between the nature connection movement and the medical community. Kathleen has worked with children in a variety of settings. She currently works as Occupational Therapist in the public school setting in the area of the Central Coast in California and specializes in Sensory Processing Disorder. Many of the children she sees have increasingly common diagnoses in Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Unspecified Learning Disorders. She believes these disorders have a direct connection with our environment, culture, technology and are symptoms of our disconnection with self, environment and world. Kathleen believes these are all “Disorders of disconnection” and by going back to our roots, listening deeply and tapping into a greater consciousness through the natural world we can understand and heal our children for the future generations. |
