about your family before your initial conversation.
We begin by getting to know your child and family.
Through a comprehensive developmental intake, parent-submitted movement videos, and a private Zoom observation, we'll explore your child's developmental history, nervous-system regulation, sensory experiences, primitive reflex patterns, and current challenges.
Together, we'll identify your family's most important priorities.
Using what we've learned, we'll begin building a practical home plan tailored to your child's needs.
You'll learn supportive routines and activities that explore nervous-system regulation, primitive reflexes, body awareness, movement, and sensory processing.
We'll focus on what works for your family, without overwhelming you with another long list of things to do.
As you implement your home activities, we'll review your observations, celebrate progress, and make adjustments when appropriate.
We'll also explore additional support needs, including nutritional, digestive, and functional-health considerations or referrals when indicated.
By the end of eight weeks, you'll have an updated personalized home support plan, a clearer understanding of your child's needs, and priorities for what comes next.

Hi, I'm Dr. Lisa!
I'm a pediatric and family chiropractor and the founder of Coastal Family Wellness, Coastal Family Neuro Academy, and Kids N Bloom.
For more than 25 years, I've worked with children and families, helping parents better understand the developmental and nervous-system challenges that can affect everyday life.
Over the years, I've met so many parents who are doing absolutely everything they can for their children but still feel like they're missing an important piece of the puzzle.
They're navigating different therapies, recommendations, and specialists, yet no one is helping them understand how the pieces fit together.
That's why I created Foundations First.
I wanted to take the developmental framework I've used in my clinical practice and make it accessible to families everywhere.
My goal is to help you better understand your child, recognize their strengths, and feel more confident supporting their development at home.
Because every child deserves to be understood, and every parent deserves a clearer path forward.

You're parenting a neurodivergent child and want to better understand their developmental needs.
You're concerned about emotional meltdowns, sensory challenges, attention, movement, or daily routines.
You've tried different therapies or strategies but feel like the approaches aren't connected.
You want practical, personalized guidance you can use at home.
You're ready to learn, observe, and participate in supportive home activities.
You want a clearer understanding of where to focus your time and energy.

about your family before your initial conversation.
Foundations First is designed for parents of neurodivergent children who want to better understand their child's developmental foundations, sensory processing, nervous-system regulation, and everyday challenges. You do not need a specific diagnosis to apply.
The program combines a comprehensive developmental intake, parent-submitted observations, private Zoom coaching, educational video lessons, personalized home activities, and group Q&A opportunities. You'll learn practical ways to support your child within your existing family routines.
Yes! While all families learn about the same foundational developmental concepts, your home support plan will be based on your child's history, observations, strengths, abilities, and family goals.
That's okay! We understand that every child is different.
We'll guide you in selecting comfortable, developmentally appropriate observations. If certain activities aren't suitable for your child, we'll explore alternatives.
You'll participate in coaching sessions, watch educational lessons, and practice supportive home activities.
We'll work together to develop routines that fit realistically into your family's schedule.
No. Foundations First is an online parent coaching and educational program.
If additional hands-on healthcare services or assessments may be helpful, we'll discuss appropriate referrals.
You'll receive an updated personalized home support plan and recommendations for your family's next priorities.
You can continue using what you've learned and explore additional support options if appropriate.
