Curated with care by Nurtured Spirit Healing

At Nurtured Spirit Healing, we honor and affirm the unique brilliance of every neurodivergent child. As a mother, pediatric nurse and autism advocate, I know how hard and important it is to find professionals who truly understand and celebrate your child's needs-not just manage them. This page is a living list of trusted, neurodivergent-affirming providers who support your child's whole being.

Everyday Life Support

Photographer

Finding a photographer who truly sees & honors your family's energy can be hard- especially when posed, high-pressure sessions don't work for your child. That's why I'm so grateful to have found, Maegan Dougherty.

When we worked with her, it felt like spending time with a dear friend. There was zero pressure. No need to sit still or smile on command. Instead, she joined us in the rhythm of our everyday life- chatting, playing, and just letting us be ourselves. Her calm, candid style allowed our son to remain comfortable, and in that ease, she captured the real magic of our family.

Hair Dresser

Carol brings a wealth of experience and understanding to her work. Her patience, calm demeanor, and compassionate approach have made a meaningful difference in our son’s hair-cutting sessions, helping him feel more comfortable and supported with each visit. She creates a safe and welcoming environment that allows progress to happen at the child’s pace.
