A Letter From Our Founder
About Fill the Hive
Hello,
My name is Kristine Stout, owner of Bee Me Sensory Gym and an occupational therapist with 17 years of experience across inpatient acute rehab, school-based, early intervention, and outpatient pediatrics.
Bee Me Sensory Gym was created to meet a growing need: a safe, inclusive space where individuals of all abilities can connect, grow, and simply "Bee Me." For many families, accessibility challenges turn simple outings into overwhelming obstacles. Our gym offers a place where every person — young and old, verbal and non-verbal, ambulatory or wheeled — can belong.
Through our "Fill the Hive" Sponsorship Program, you can help provide a beneficial membership for children or adults with disabilities and low income. 100% of your sponsorship directly funds a full year of access, supporting both the individual and the ongoing operation of our small, locally owned business.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact.
With Gratitude,
Kristine Stout, OTR/L
Owner — BEEME, LLC
