Supporting Children, Strengthening Families, Creating Lasting Growth
Licensed Occupational Therapist • Certified Youth, Parent & Family Coach • 22+ Years Supporting Children and Families
At Graceful Guidance, I provide pediatric occupational therapy, youth, parent, and family coaching, and whole-child wellness services designed to help children and families thrive. Every child is unique, so I look beyond challenges to understand the underlying factors that may be impacting development, learning, behavior, and everyday life. Whether the goal is improving handwriting, motor skills, visual skills, sensory processing, executive functioning, emotional regulation, or overall confidence, I work alongside children and families to create personalized plans that support lasting success at home, school, and in the community.

Services Offered
Personalized occupational therapy, coaching, and whole-child wellness services designed to help children and families thrive
Youth Parent & Family Coaching
Work one-on-one with me to build stronger connections within your family and create a more balanced home life. Coaching supports youth, parents, and families in improving communication, managing emotions, and navigating everyday challenges with confidence. Learn practical tools to respond thoughtfully rather than reacting impulsively, reduce stress, and foster a calm, supportive environment where everyone can thrive.
Occupational Therapy
Individualized pediatric occupational therapy services designed to help children build confidence, independence, emotional regulation, sensory processing skills, executive functioning, and participation in meaningful daily activities. Services may address handwriting, fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, visual skills, executive functioning, emotional regulation, retained primitive reflexes, and daily life skills.
Wellness services
Holistic wellness services designed to support overall health, balance, and well-being. Wellness offerings include lifestyle guidance and BEMER sessions for local clients.
Hi, I'm Misty, founder of Graceful Guidance. As a licensed Occupational Therapist and a Certified Youth, Parent, and Family Coach, I'm passionate about helping children and families move beyond simply managing challenges to creating lasting growth.
I believe every child deserves to be understood. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I take a whole-child approach—looking at how motor development, sensory processing, visual skills, executive functioning, nervous system regulation, retained primitive reflexes, emotional well-being, and family dynamics work together to influence everyday success.
Whether your child needs support with handwriting, attention, emotional regulation, confidence, motor skills, or daily routines, my goal is to uncover the "why" behind the challenge and create practical, personalized strategies that help children thrive while equipping parents with the tools and confidence to support them.
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when children and families grow together. I'm honored to walk alongside families as they build stronger connections, greater confidence, and lasting success
