Beautiful Spaces Deserve to Feel Like Home for Every Nervous System.

Rooted in Growth, Movement & Nature

Welcome to TreeGirlOT! We partner with premier outdoor enthusiasts designing and creating incredible projects by bringing my clinical neurobiology knowledge and deep sensory wisdom to civic, municipal, and master planned public spaces.

Parenting a child with unique sensory needs means constantly calculating if a public space is safe and welcoming. Wehn a park, arena, or plaza ignores a child’s neurobiology, sensory overstimulation happens fast - and families leave.

*Extend Play Duration: Turn chaotic environmental layouts into spaces where families stay, connect and thrive.

*Eliminate Future Stress: Catch visual, auditory, and motor bottlenecks on paper before concrete is poured.

*Create Community Anchors: Build premium, sustainable destinations that are deeply loved and heavily utilized.

Designing for Families Means Understanding the Whole Child

Even if no one ever taught you what to do… You’re here now; and that means everything. When a public space is built to code-minimum standards, it frequently alienates the families who need community most.
TreeGirlOT is here to guide you, gently and powerfully.

We bridge the gap between clinical reality and master-planned architecture so that every nervous system feels safe, seen and welcomed.

  1. Inclusion is a Whole-Body Experience

    True belonging goes deeper than building a ramp. We look past the standard guidelines to weave real sensory visual, auditory, and motor regulation directly into the initial drawings.

  2. Happy Nervous Systems Love to Stay and Play

    Grounded environments naturally lower stress hormones and quiet a overstimulated mind. By designing with human biology in mind, we create spaces where multi-generational communities love to gather and stay a little longer.

  3. Proactive, not Reactive

    There is so much joy in getting it right from the start! By vetting layout geometry, acoustic echo points, and product zoning early in the blueprint phase, we keep your project moving smoothly and protects your investment from expensive, stressful reworks down the road.

  4. Multi Generational regulation is the True Anchor of Community

    We believe that merging beautiful landscape artistry with successful caregivers resting with pediatric neurobiology creates absolute magic. Together, we can transform any open-air property into a thriving, welcoming landmark where families stay longer, connect deeper and return more often.

  5. Experience Matters

    Our work is grounded in decades of hands-on experience across diverse settings— from homes to schools and backyards— bringing depth and perspective to every interaction.

Our core beliefs:

We know the truth:

Standard ADA Ramps Just Aren’t Enough.
Traditional playground safety audits only check if a wheelchair can physically roll onto a ramp. They completely miss how a child’s nervous system processes the space once they arrive.

When an outdoor spaces is build without a clinical eye, the hidden costs hit the developer and community long-term:
TreeGirlOT makes it work:

  • ~Exposure: hidden sensory bottlenecks - like blinding visual glares or acoustic echoes - create high stress environments where behavioral meltdowns happen rapidly.

  • ~Loss: Overstimulated families quickly abandon the site, leaving a multi-million dollar capital development sitting underutilized.

  • ~Solution: Vetting your schematics at the blueprint stage acts as a financial insurance policy, ensuring your project is a welcoming, high ROI community anchor from day one.

.“We had no idea how much our daughter could thrive with just a few small shifts in our daily rhythm. Megan didn’t just guide us—she transformed the way we see our child. Her presence brought hope, joy, and real change into our lives.

-Steve, happy dad

“Megan was a lifeline for our family. When we realized our child was developing differently, we were scared and unsure. Megan met us with warmth, wisdom, and calm. She helped us see our child not as behind or broken but as beautifully
unique. Her support gave us peace and the confidence to embrace our child’s
journey with joy. We’ll always be grateful..
