Katie resides in New Jersey with her husband and two children. She has always dreamed of being a published author and is making her debut with the vibrant and adorable characters, The Honey Bees. Katie enjoys all the mental health based books out there for children, but identified a gap in the literature teaching parents, specifically moms, how to use these strategies. She believes parents need to be able to model these wellness strategies first, in order for their children to effectively use them.

Katie works as an occupational therapist, and has experience working with adults and children in the home setting. She has most recently shifted her professional focus to maternal health and is certified in perinatal mental health (PMH-C) and pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise (PCES). She used her personal experiences as a mother, and her professional education as a therapist, to create this story line. She hopes it helps mothers everywhere to be able to express their need for rest and self-care in a healthy way.
