Meet Your Host
Stephanie Wymyslo, Occupational Therapist
I’m Stephanie, a graduate of Northern Arizona University Doctorate of Occupational Therapy program with additional certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT). After practicing in a variety of settings as an OT as a traveler and full-time therapist and exploring mindfulness and yoga in my personal life, I started my own practice, Summit Therapy, a holistic practice combining occupational therapy with the practices of yoga, meditation, and nervous system regulation.
I strongly believe that we can’t treat the body without treating the mind. By recognizing and addressing emotional and mental components that are intertwined with the physical, we can empower individuals to grow in their self-awareness and increase the mind-body connection to facilitate healing, cultivate peace, and improve quality of life.
