Our First Step


Let's set up a time to talk so we can make sure that working together is the right fit. After that, I'll reach out to Blue Cross or WSIB to seek approval for our treatment.



Home Visit or Online Therapy


I offer assessments and 1:1 therapy. Home visits can be done in the Ottawa area. Online appointments are available throughout Ontario.



Nature-Based Therapy


I also offer nature-based therapy. That can include walk and talk appointments, forest bathing or a group nature-therapy program.


Hi, I’m Sarah

I live and work in Ottawa, Ontario as an occupational therapist and mindfulness teacher.

I have been working as an occupational therapist for more than 20 years and have been working with veterans and first responders since 2012, using a trauma-informed approach.

Both in my personal and professional life, I use nature and mindfulness meditation to bring calm and joy to each day! I often incorporate a walk into treatment sessions or lead a meditation, if that suits you.

Working with individual clients, I strive to empower people to learn more about their own health and live lives that fit with their own personal values.

I'm looking forward to working with you!
