This is for the occupational therapy professionals who dare to think differently, who deeply resonate with a lifestyle approach to therapy and who endeavour to create meaningful change in the lives of others. It’s for the OT’s who are eager to take the roof off their expectations and live up to their own occupational potential.

Invaluable!
I can’t tell you how lucky I feel that I found you at the most perfect time- feeling misaligned with OT as I’ve known it the last 17 years and about to abandon the profession all together! Your posts and your podcasts have breathed new life into me! You’ve ignited a new fire and I’m forever grateful. Thank you thank you thank you! ✨🌱🙏🏼
Inspiring
Definitely inspiring; however would love to know what is your payer source -Cash? Insurance? Here in USA only therapists affiliated with insurances can “compete”; cash base practices are possible but very difficult to built when schools offer “free OT”. Would love your input on that. Thanks!
