What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapists are regulated healthcare professionals who focus on improving health and function through a holistic approach. We consider how your physical, emotional, and social well-being affects your ability to participate in the activities you want, need, or enjoy doing. By addressing all aspects of a person’s life, occupational therapy helps individuals regain independence and enhance their quality of life.

How many sessions do you recommend?

The number of sessions recommended depends on your individual needs and goals. After an initial assessment, we will work together to create a tailored plan, and the frequency and duration of sessions will be based on your progress and specific needs.

What is expected of me as the client?

You are in the driver's seat of your therapy journey. We ask that you come with curiosity and a willingness to learn about your body. The focus is on equipping you with the tools to resolve and/or manage your concerns and help you achieve your functional goals.

I am a new mom/mom-to-be. Is Occupational Therapy a good fit for me?

Yes, Occupational Therapy is an excellent fit for new and expecting mothers. It can address not only the physical symptoms of pregnancy and childbirth but also the emotional and cognitive changes that come with this transition. This includes support for brain fog, mental load, sleep, improving positioning and ergonomics for feeding and childcare, and navigating new roles and identity as a mother, among other concerns.

Is Occupational Therapy covered by extended health benefits?

While many extended health benefit providers do cover Occupational Therapy services, it's important to review your individual plan to confirm your specific coverage.
