Be Your Own Sunshine

Bringing together yoga, occupational therapy, and passion to make change and live our best lives.

Welcome to my blog! This space will be a mix of my passions, experiences, and reflections. I am an occupational therapist working with mainly children with autism, anxiety and adhd, but I also work with children, teens and adults with a variety of different strengths and needs! I work in the outdoors using nature as my co-therapist, and I am ALWAYS learning and growing to keep up with the ever changing challenges and strengths of my clients and so that I can support my placement students! My hopes is that I can start to connect with other people who share my values and passions, create connections and potentially some cool stuff together, and begin to post interviews with different people so that we can all come together to share knowledge.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and research, and connecting with people through this blog and seeing where this journey will take me! Feel free to contact me to connect, ask questions, leave feedback, or follow me on social media to continue the conversation!
