✨🍪 80 Years of OT in Action! 🍬✨
This week we’re celebrating 80 years of Occupational Therapy - a legacy of excellence, impact, and care 💛
To mark the occasion, we had a little fun imagining what we’d look like at 80 👵👩‍⚕️

Just like the classic “old-time” sweets and cookies we’re sharing, OT has stood the test of time - still bringing joy, function, and meaning to everyday life.
Here’s to another 80 years of impact, growth, and helping people do the things that matter most 💫

On Friday, our incredible employee Alexa celebrated her birthday 🎈 💫

Happy Birthday Alexa! 🎂🎈
Your energy, creativity, and positive spirit light up our team every single day. From
her infectious laughter to her innovative ideas, Alexa brings a unique spark to
everything she does. We’re lucky to have you as part of our work family!
Here’s to another year of growth, joy, and all the amazing things you continue to
bring to the table. May this year bring you endless adventures and success, just like
you bring to us every day. 💙

This is why we do what we do 💙
Occupational therapy is about more than recovery. It is about helping people find confidence, purpose and joy in everyday life again.

We are proud to walk alongside our patients on their journeys. Thank you to Karabo for allowing us to share her story. (Consent was kindly given to share her name and testimony.)🌿

💪✨ Celebrating Women’s Strength this Women’s Day 💫
“Wathint’ Abafazi, Wathint’ Imbokodo” – You strike a woman, you strike a rock.

On Saturday we celebrated the incredible women of South Africa. The ones who carry families, drive businesses forward, and keep communities strong. We also recognised that many women still face significant challenges when it comes to work.
Juggling a career with household responsibilities and childcare isn’t easy, and too often it means fewer opportunities.

At Kirsten Beukes Occupational Therapy we’re here to help change that. We work alongside women to build confidence, open doors to meaningful jobs, and create space for them to succeed in both work and life.

Happy Women’s Day, from our team to you.✨

🌿 July is Mental Health Month 🌿
Mental health is more than a diagnosis—it’s about how we manage our daily routines, connect with others, and find meaning in what we do.
As occupational therapists, we support individuals in building sustainable habits, developing coping strategies, and engaging in activities that promote emotional well-being. 💬✨
This month, we invite you to:
🧘🏻‍♀️Pause and check in with yourself
📝 Create space for activities that restore your energy
🤝 Reach out—support is always within reach
🌱 Reimagine what wellness looks like for you
We want to work together to make mental health part of the everyday conversation. 💚

Let’s keep the conversation open, remove the stigma, and remember that we’re all in this together. You’re not alone.

We spent the afternoon at the Museum of Illusions for a bit of team time and a chance to step out of the usual work rhythm. 🐢 It was such a good way to connect, have a few laughs, and welcome the newest members of the KBOT team — Sam, Tarelle and Olivia, our new locum.

So glad to have you with us ❤️Looking forward to what’s ahead.🌞

“What you do every day shapes who you are.” 🧩
In occupational therapy, we see “occupation” as so much more than just work. It’s the meaningful activities that fill your day, whether it’s getting dressed, spending time with loved ones, pursuing a hobby, or doing your job. These moments make life purposeful.
✨ Here’s how we help:
•We use activities that are meaningful to YOU - things that match your history, preferences, and goals.
• Our focus is on helping you do the things that matter most, so you can feel like yourself again.
• It’s not just about getting results, it’s about the journey. Together, we’ll focus on the process of getting back to what you love.
🌻 At the core of everything we do is the belief that your life should feel fulfilling and meaningful. Let’s work together to make that happen. ❤️
