Throughout her life everyone always labelled her as a 'fussy eater' and at times this wasnt an issue, however as she got older these difficulties started to impact her life. Throughout her studies as an OT, she began to understand that her fussy eating habits stemmed from an oral processing disorder. Further research led her to develop a desensitisation program for herself and change her eating habits for the better. When Katrina had her children her interest in this area spiked again, having to work through a desensitisation program with her daughter. So when it comes to oral sensory processing disorders Katrina has a lot of experience - she has lived it herself, treated it while working with her clients and raised her daughter through these difficulties.
