What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a health and rehabilitation profession. Occupational therapists work with people of all ages who need specialized assistance to lead independent, productive, and satisfying lives due to their physical, developmental, social, or emotional problems. Occupational therapists use the “occupations” of self-care, work, and play/leisure activities to enhance development, increase independence, and/or prevent disability. For more information, please visit the American Occupational Therapy website.
Is Occupational Therapy the same as Physical Therapy?
This is a common question, but the answer is no, they are not the same. An occupational therapist helps people of all ages (from newborns to older adults) who have an illness or disability to do every day normal things that are important and meaningful to them such as eating, dressing, school activities, and work.
The occupational therapist helps by making changes in any of the things that may limit an individual’s ability to do those tasks, including the environment, the task, or the person’s skills needed for the task. Occupational therapists also have the knowledge and training to work with people with a mental illness or emotional problems such as depression and/or stress.

a year agoKelly is great! I had an ongoing issue with my shoulder and after a few sessions I felt good as new! Kelly is very intuitive. She always figures out just what my body needs. I wouldn't hesitate to book a session with her. Your body will thank you.

2 years agoI have never been to a health and wellness, or doctors office that can make me feel like a completely different person! After being seen by Kelly I can take on my day and week with clarity and pain free. It’s amazing and I highly recommend for everyone, even without pains, to get cranial therapy!

in the last weekI have been seeing Kelly for craniosacral therapy for 6+ months now and it has been life changing for me. Over the years, I have tried so many different methods to try and manage my very sensitive nervous system and so far cranio has been the only practice I have found that helps me regulate and feel better. Kelly also helps me with my physical ailments due to my hypermobility. She is a gifted healer!
