A private Occupational Therapy practice assisting individuals struggling with pain and pelvic health

We also offer mentorship to clinicians interested in developing a more psychologically-informed practice or launching an innovative practice in the field of chronic pain, mental health, or women's health

For too long, uncertainty about scope for specific modalities has kept many occupational therapists from stepping into pelvic health practice.

Pelvic health OT is not defined by one modality.
It is grounded in helping people participate fully in daily life. From returning to movement, work, intimacy, caregiving, and meaningful routines with greater confidence and ease.

On interprofessional teams, occupational therapists play a critical role in translating rehabilitation gains into real-life function and sustainable change.

If you’re a pelvic-health curious OT but unsure how to move forward,
Occupation-Based Pelvic Health offers a clear pathway for Canadian OTs to move from curious → confident pelvic health OT.

When reassurance falls flat, Defusion gives you another move.

In rehab, uncertainty can fuel fear and fear can cause thoughts to stick, spiral, and take over. Defusion helps create space from those thoughts so clients can respond with more choice, not more struggle.

If you want to build this skill into your practice, check out
✨ ACT: A Practical Guide for Rehabilitation Professionals
with lifetime access, real-world case examples, and practical tools to support psychological flexibility.

Setbacks don’t erase progress, they’re part of how recovery typically progresses.

When flare-ups show up, validation, context, and nervous-system–informed framing can keep clients moving forward instead of spiraling in the inevitable frustration.

When clients are stuck in their thoughts and education or CBT isn’t landing, it’s often time to pivot.

Defusion helps create space between people and their thoughts—so symptoms, fear, or self-criticism have less control over what happens next.

Not about proving thoughts wrong.
About loosening their grip.

If you’d like my Defusion guide from ACT: A Practical Guide for Rehabilitation Pros, send me a DM and I’ll share it.

This one’s a milestone 💜🥂🎉

The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) has officially released a practice document within their “OT Role Documents” developed by the Canadian Pelvic Health OT Task Force.

This document was created in consultation with:
– OTs practicing in pelvic health
– OTs integrating pelvic health into other roles
– Interprofessional partners in pelvic health
– CAOT’s advocacy and policy team

This document brings long-overdue clarity and visibility to the role OTs can and do play in addressing the occupational implications of pelvic health challenges.

What this means:
• clearer scope for the various ways that OTs can address pelvic health concerns
• better understanding of the OT role for our inter professional colleagues
• stronger messaging for the public
• improved visibility for funders and systems

A huge step forward for access, collaboration, and more efficient care.

If you’d like a copy of the CAOT role document, members can access it via the CAOT practice documents page

If you’re not a member, the task force is thrilled to share a copy with you!💜

Trauma "treatment" that forces a survivor to tell or relive their trauma in ways or on a timetable that is not chosen by the survivor, that the survivor is not in control of, or that serves the agenda, needs, or preferences of anyone but the survivor, is not ethical or effective.

I can’t tell you how much this event lights me up. ✨

I’m so excited to be presenting “Attuned and Responsive: A Trauma-Informed Pelvic Health Skills Lab” at this year’s OTs in Pelvic Health Summit with my incredible partner Lindsey Vestal

Every year that I’ve been able to attend, I’ve left feeling such a deep sense of community, connection, and love among my OT & PT peers who care so deeply about this work. It truly feels like being with my people.

What’s especially exciting this year is that the conference is fully focused on hands-on lab experiences, giving us all the chance to deepen our learning together. I’m honoured to be presenting, and just as grateful for the opportunity to learn from so many brilliant minds.

Tickets went on sale today and the in-person event is already 100% sold out, but virtual tickets are still available!

Recovery isn’t linear.
Flare-ups don’t erase progress—they support integration.

Validation first.
Reframe second.
Curiosity always. 💭

And if you’d like a brand new practical resource on managing flare-ups and setbacks, send me a DM and I’ll share a tool from my course

CBT doesn’t have to feel rigid, invalidating, or overly “heady.”
When it’s grounded in collaboration and curiosity, it becomes something else entirely.

✨ “I really appreciate how tangible this course is. While being a ‘psych’ course, I felt I had small nuggets of gold—word choice, recognition of thought processes—that I could immediately take away and put into practice in my professional and personal life. A lot of it spoke to my soul.”
— Caitlyn Goodfellow, Ortho & Pelvic PT

If you’re looking for CBT skills that feel human, usable, and deeply respectful of lived experience, my newly updated course CBT Skills for Distressing Physical Symptoms is now live.

Lifetime access to lessons + demos, and a year of monthly office hours to support you as you integrate it into your practice.

When CBT feels invalidating, it’s usually not the tool—it’s the stance.

Collaborative empiricism is the part of CBT that often gets lost… and the part that makes it feel human again.

If this landed, DM me 🤝 and I’ll send you a new e-book from my updated course:

This May in Montréal, the Canadian Pelvic Health OT Task Force is providing a hands-on session at the CAOT Centennial Conference—and we are so excited!

Over the past year, we’ve been advocating for a clearer national understanding of the unique value OTs bring directly to the field of pelvic health. That conversation has evolved into something even bigger:
✨ the untapped potential for OTs across practice settings to become pelvic-health informed.

Think:
• Earlier screening
• Practical, occupation-based strategies
• Stronger interprofessional connections
• Earlier access. More cost-effective care where folks are already accessing OT.

If you’re curious about how pelvic health fits into the work you’re already doing—this session is for you!
