What makes up a family in 2023

This morning I checked my email for the Bloganuary day 8 prompt and it was “How far back in your family tree can you go?” My immediate response was DAMN that’s a big prompt!

Quiet rain guided visualization

As an Occupational therapist, one of the things I like to explore with my clients every couple months is visualization. As meditation can be quite difficult for most of my clients that struggle with keep still or focusing for long, I prefer creating calming visualizations to engage their imaginations and help them focus on theContinue reading “Quiet rain guided visualization”

Finding my voice – the purpose behind the practice of writing

I know it’s only been 6 days of Bloganuary, but I truly can’t believe I’ve blogged 6 days in a row. For me writing is something that doesn’t come naturally, so to write consistently is a feat on its own!

Coffee date catch up – 2022 wrap up

In 2020 I started my Coffee date catch up posts as a way to connect a bit with my readers and to reflect on my own thoughts and experiences from the last little while. I don’t actually follow the numbers of people that read these posts, and maybe no one even reads them, but theyContinue reading “Coffee date catch up – 2022 wrap up”

As an individual who is exploring her own neurodiversity, while practicing as an occupational therapist with children and adults who are neurodiverse, I often reflect a lot on the practices that I use in my work and what we learned in school.
