Self care for therapists

As therapists and people that care for other people, we often put all of our energy into helping others and leave our own self care behind. Today I want to chat about the importance of self care and what that might look like for you. Remember everyone is different so this podcast is intended for you to do some self reflection and start making your own self care plans

My experience as an OT in the great outdoors

This episode is a brief passionate conversation about my experience as a nature based occupational therapist, and my observations in the benefits and successes we can facilitate in the great outdoors ! In the future I will add more research and information based episodes as well!

Practical Pieces: Secret Garden Visualization

Join me as we explore our imaginations and create our own safe secret spaces in this secret garden guided visualization!

Practical pieces: 5,4,3,2,1 mindful meditation

Today's episode was unplanned - I was out for a nature walk while up north and found a quiet little spot that I just could not walk away from! I took off my shoes to practice earthing and I felt like I needed to do my favourite mindful meditation exercise to ground myself after this busy week! 
 
 

What is Occupational Therapy?

Welcome to episode 3 of the Naturally OT podcast! Today we are exploring the VERY BASICS of what Occupational Therapy as a profession is. Occupational Therapy is a very broad field - each OT has a different scope of practice, so today we are just exploring the absolute basics, just a little taste of what our career looks like
Let me know what we should talk about in future episodes!

Practical pieces: Beach Guided Visualization

Today's episode is the beginning of the miniseries called "Practical pieces". This will be a series leading you through a variety of strategies I use with my clients that you can use at home or send along to someone who may need it! This week we are taking ourselves to the beach in this short guided visualization. 
Please note that just like most things in life, visualizations are not one size fits all ! If you don't connect with this, it is OKAY! Do what works best for you
