What if you could take the guesswork out of helping your baby meet their motor and sensory milestones?

This is your holistic 7 step science-based guide to optimizing your child’s neurological and motor developmental wellness in their first year of life, in a mindful and respectful way. 

Taught by a seasoned pediatric occupational therapist and child development expert.




You dream of those tiny little toes taking their first steps.

You envision your baby learning to roll over for the first time. 


You can see your baby getting up on all 4’s and crawling for the first time. 


You can't wait for your baby to pull to stand and learn to balance on her own for the very first time.

Who are we kidding?

You’re PUMPED to see your baby progress and master all of their sensory-motor milestones!

The only problem is...

  • Maybe you’re a new parent, first-time parent, or soon-to-be parent and don't know what to expect

  • Maybe you’re confused about what to do with your 9 pound buddy that didn’t come with an instruction manual

  • Maybe you wonder about motor milestones, when they happen, and if your baby is developing on track

  • Maybe you wonder how you can set the stage in order to enjoy watching your baby progress

  • Maybe you’ve heard the statistics of developmental delays and you want to increase your chances of preventing them

  • Maybe you aren’t sure what baby products to buy or how to use them properly

  • Maybe you don’t know much about the brain or what conditions are best for learning skills

  • Maybe you’re wondering how you can provide the best start for your baby without completely losing yourself

  • Maybe you are struggling to answer the question “NOW WHAT?!”

You can powerfully shape your baby's neurological and physical development by understanding what the brain needs to master new skills.

By taking advantage of this golden opportunity when millions of brain connections are formed every single day, you can reduce the odds of developmental disruption.

You already have the tools to enhance your baby's brain and motor health.

Your Instructor

Austen Lincoln, MS, OTR/L

Let me introduce myself! I'm Austen. I am a pediatric occupational therapist, Athleta legging addict, total nerd when it comes to child development, self educated amateur chef, Bouvier des Flandres puppy parent, and nonstop learner. I am an expert in typical and atypical movement and motor development, and specialize in birth to 5 year olds. My happiest days are spent playing with kids and empowering parents with practical tools to mindfully and respectfully support their little one's development and independence. I am the founder and lead OT of Steps 2 Grow, a private occupational therapy practice that provides in-home OT, consultations, and now educational courses. In recent years, I have become extremely alarmed by the statistics on developmental delays, and I want to do my part in sharing everything I know about optimizing the brain health of babies and preventing developmental disruption. This course is not about sales or money. It is about getting the information to the people who need it the most. You! I hope to see you inside.

This isn't about speeding up your baby's development.

This is about tuning into your baby, meeting them where they are, and nurturing the natural unfolding of their innate abilities in a mindful way, so that they can build a strong foundation of solid skills for life.
