Julia Colton

Julia is a developmental expert with a passion for regulation skills. Her journey began with teaching English in France and working as a nanny, and has taken her through yoga teacher training, training in teaching yoga and mindfulness to kids, and graduate school in occupational therapy. Her graduate research focused on the benefits of school-based yoga programs for kids with developmental delays and executive functioning challenges.

Since finishing her master's degree at Washington University in St. Louis, she has worked in pediatric home health, an autism clinic, and a sensory integration clinic in Colorado. She has developed a keen interest in supporting neurodivergent kids and their families, which means she focuses on sensory processing and regulation every day. She continually finds new ways to integrate yoga, mindfulness, art, and reading into her work with families. Her ultimate goal is to empower parents to recognize their kids' sensory cues and respond appropriately so that families can have a smoother day-to-day experience.
