Integrative OT

In honor of Father's Day, I am re-releasing Episode 2: When Grief Occupies Your Time. This podcast for technical reasons, never uploaded and released to iTunes, so I'm hoping that this time it will work. Sending my Father lots of heavenly love today and every day. 

Grief comes in many forms...loss of a loved one is just one way it shows up. I know a lot of people have complicated relationships with their dads so make sure to offer yourself some self-love on Father's Day. 

Ever heard of the enneagram? It's the coolest "personality tool" if you will! I have made everyone in my life take the test (free one here: yourenneagramcoach.com) and it has helped my relationships & how I better understand myself and my growth/stress in so many ways! Check out the podcast and let me know what you think! 

Hello everyone & welcome to episode 11! I am actually interviewing two of my favorite people today: Bethany Marks, LMT and Nancy Hudspeth, LMT and we are talking all things massage! 

Massage therapy has SO many benefits and is one of my all-time favorite occupations for self-care. Give it a listen & let me know what you think!

Join Integrative OT for Episode 9 where we discuss what interoception is, how we can tune in to this sense and what it has to do with co-regulation. 

Episode 8 is one of my most favorite topics: Nature!! I could talk about this forever. Listen and learn about why nature is so important for us and how we can incorporate this into our daily lives.

Episode 6 is all about trauma- how it occurs, who it happens to, what happens afterward & how feeling it helps heal it through engaging in meaningful occupations as well as getting back to the occupations that matter to us.
