Occupational Therapy
Accept. Adapt. Grow.
Need occupational therapy (OT) after a recent stroke or brain injury?
Let's incorporate therapy into your daily life while in the comfort of your own living space.
At a low point or feeling overwhelmed?
There is hope - mental health challenges are treatable!
Alanna offers a gentle activity and cognitive-based approach to support you in moving forward.
Worried about living independently?
Occupational therapists assess the fit between you, your home environment and the tasks you perform.
We can provide recommendations, and make adaptations, to keep you living as safely and as independently as possible.
Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals trained to:
Reframe the issue
You see someone as agitated and acting out to get their way; we may see it as someone who can’t communicate that they’re scared.
Improve client's skills
Through specific interventions targeted at improving a skill we can help the client become more confident and independent
Adapt
We may change the task, the environment or the routine to better suit the client’s needs
If You’re Struggling Then The Ripple Effect Occurs
At some point every “occupation” (activity) and relationship in your life will be touched.
Occupational therapy is here to help you move create a life you want to wake up to.
Occupational Therapy (OT) when you need it
If someone you care about needs occupational therapy then you may be feeling as though:
1. You don’t want to put life on hold
2. You don’t want to wait for things to get worse
3. You don’t want to carry the burden alone
Fortunately, you have something within you control -which at this point may feel life a lifesaver.

Formal and informal assessment will create a picture of where you’re at right now
Together we will set realistic outcomes (goals) and develop a treatment plan to obtain them
We work together, reflecting back on the goals to guide interventions. If your goals change that’s okay! Adapting is a part of life.
Once your established goals are met we’re ready to either set new goals or end service
