Holistic, sensory-informed occupational therapy for children and neurodiverse adults.
On the Eastside of Seattle and virtually across Washington State
Hi! I’m Meghan
I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and the founder of Sunlight OT. I believe healing and growth happen in connection—within ourselves, with our kids, in our relationships, and to our environments. My work is rooted in knowledge, compassion, and experience. I provide evidence-based, holistic care, using a sensory-informed lens to support whole-person and whole-family wellness.
I bring intention, curiosity, and loving-kindness into everything I do, and I’m deeply committed to creating a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered. This is more than a practice. It’s a community and an extension of myself. I am privileged to be a friend, a guide, a resource, and a safe space to the children, teachers, families, and people I work with. I look forward to connecting with you, learning your story, and walking alongside you on your journey.

🏃 Turn everyday furniture and floor space into a full sensory-motor workout.
Designed with a pediatric occupational therapist’s eye for movement and regulation, this 9-card obstacle course poster gives kids (and the grown-ups building the course) a simple visual menu of gross motor stations — no gym equipment required. Each activity options provides sensory input that supports nervous system regulation!
☀️What’s included:
• 9 obstacle course stations: jump, crash, puzzle, couch, stepping stones, climb, slide, crawl, balance
• High-resolution printable file, ready to print and use as a reference card or cut apart into a choice board
• Bright, clear icons kids can “read” at a glance, even before they’re reading words
✨ Why it works:
• Gross motor input supports body awareness, coordination, and self-regulation — a core piece of pediatric OT and sensory processing work
• Movement breaks help kids reset attention and energy between homework, therapy tasks, or transitions
• Mix and match stations to build a new course every time, using couch cushions, pillows, tape lines, or existing playground equipment
• Gives kids ownership: let them pick the order and “design” their own course
• Including a simple puzzle (6-9 pieces) offers a natural end to the obstacle course, supporting the transition away from this activity
✔️ Great for:
• Home movement breaks and rainy-day energy release
• OT, PT, and sensory gyms
• Classrooms and PE for brain-break stations
• Birthday parties and playdates
🌱 Details:
• Instant digital download — no physical item will be shipped
• Print at home, at a local print shop, or through an online printing service
A note from Dr. Meghan, the Occupational Therapist and designer:
Kids regulate through movement before they regulate through words. This poster was built to make that movement easy to set up and repeat — a go-to for burning energy, building body awareness, and having fun while doing it.
💛 Give kids the words for what their body is already telling them.
Designed with a pediatric occupational therapist’s eye for sensory-informed emotional learning, this Feelings Thermometer walks kids from sad and happy all the way up to angry and overwhelmed — connecting each emotion to what it actually feels like in the body, not just a label on a chart.
☀️ What’s included:
• A 6-point feelings thermometer: sad, happy, silly, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed
• Simple, relatable descriptions for each feeling level, written in a child’s voice
• Two versions in one download! Boy & Girl options
• A “Body Check-In” section prompting kids to notice heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, tummy, and thoughts
• Grounding affirmations: “I am safe. I am loved. I can be kind to myself.”
✨ Why it works:
• Interoception — noticing internal body signals — is a foundational skill in emotional regulation and a core focus in pediatric OT
• Naming a feeling and locating it in the body helps kids move from reacting to responding
• A visual scale gives kids and adults a shared, low-pressure way to check in (“Where are you on the thermometer today?”)
• Normalizes the full range of emotions, including the big, uncomfortable ones
✔️ Great for:
• Home calm-down corners
• Classrooms, school counseling offices, and daily check-ins
• OT, speech, and therapy treatment rooms
• Pairing with a calming strategies poster for a full regulation station
🌱 Details:
• Instant digital download — no physical item will be shipped
• Print at home, at a local print shop, or through an online printing service
A note from Dr. Meghan, the Occupational Therapist and designer:
Before kids can regulate a feeling, they need to notice it. This thermometer was built to make that noticing concrete — turning “I don’t know how I feel” into a body-based, visual conversation kids can have with themselves and the adults who support them. If you have a child struggling with naming their emotions or finding ways to regulate, using a poster like this can be a great place to start.
