I agree with this with every fiber of my being. Rest is not something we earn, it's a foundational requirement for living. Sleep is a reflex, that's how important it is that we rest and reset!

How are YOU resting today?

It’s been awhile since we celebrated completion of the most daunting task: Feeding Yourself.

The artichoke steamed in a bag in my microwave in 10 minutes. The bread and tomato are from the farmers market today. The apricots are wrinkly and need to be eaten.

Fed is Best. You’re doing great.

LISTEN. There is a lot of noise out in the word right now. And you might be dealing with a lot, just in your own little village. Remember to make time for joy. It doesn't have to be a huge production. It can be as simple as savoring the first sip of coffee in the morning. Or biting into a piece of bread with a juicy, sweet, salted summer tomato. Maybe an extra moment to breathe in the shower. Find a moment. Find some joy.

Happy Small Business Saturday!

What can occupational therapy do for you? I’m so glad you asked! One definition states that OT can help people with all things they want, need and are expected to do. Yes, that covered just about every aspect of life. I personally specialize in pain rehabilitation, sleep and mental health but really if you’re struggling to engage meaningfully in your life, I can likely help you!

Message me if you want to schedule a FREE 30 minute consultation to see how I can help. I also now can accept patients on Medicaid!

1 in 4 people worldwide suffer from chronic pain. At Empowered Path Occupational Therapy, we help reduce your paid so you can live your best life.

This is a gratitude post for my nervous system.

Today, I had to have a procedure that I’ve had done before under traumatic circumstances. I made my care team fully aware of my concerns and prior experience, and they went above and beyond to ease me through today’s attempt.

But what I’m really proud of is my body and myself. With the guidance of the RN, I was able to breath through the uncomfortable part(getting the numbing) and then come down from that to be calm again once it was time to go to work.

This did not happen by accident. I’ve spent the past 2 weeks doing graded motor imagery around this procedure to bring down the volume of my nervous system, and be able to manage today. I let myself cry, and hum and breathe how I needed to during the visit to regulate. I communicated my emotional and physical state to my team.

And we did it.

I’m definitely headed for an adrenaline hangover but that’s okay because I know how to care for my body and nervous system.

Our body might be keeping score, but we can also change the game.

Message me to get help today.

An updated definition from WFOT. What do you think?

As a result of the recent e-vote, the WFOT General Assembly have approved the updated definition of occupational therapy.
“Occupational therapy promotes health and wellbeing by supporting participation in meaningful occupations that people want, need, or are expected to do.” (WFOT,2025)
