Occupational Therapy Services for Life’s Transitions
Real Support. Real Strategies.
Why
Choose Occupational Therapy?
Life doesn’t happen in a clinic—it happens in your home, at work, and in the everyday moments that matter most. That’s why we bring occupational therapy to where you live your life. We help you break through barriers, build skills that stick, and put your healthcare team’s recommendations into action in ways that truly work for you.
Mental Health
We help you develop tools to navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, PTSD, menopause, postpartum depression, and more. Together, we focus on calming the nervous system and deepening mind-body awareness. Your sessions are personalized, using proven approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, and PE Therapy to support your unique goals.
Cognitive Function
Are you dealing with brain fog, memory lapses, or cognitive fatigue? We’ll work with you on strategies that make daily life easier.
With targeted exercises and practical tools, you’ll build skills and support you can use day-to-day.
Daily Life Skills
We work with you to uncover and move past barriers—whether physical, cognitive, or emotional—that impact your daily life. From creating realistic routines to easing pain or managing health challenges, we focus on strategies that make life more doable. We’ll also support you in planning a return to work and finding ways to manage symptoms on the job.
How We Work
We offer 15-minute consultations for any of our services to see how we can support you. If you’re coming via a referral, simply send us a completed referral form so we have all the details needed to provide personalized care.
Other programs we offer:
Interactive Workshops: Tailored sessions focusing on specific women’s health issues.
Group and Individual Support: Flexible support options to suit every woman's comfort and needs.
A Comprehensive Resource Library: Access to articles, guides, and tools to help you understand and manage your health journey.
*Services available both virtually & in-person*

Driven by a deep understanding of the systemic barriers women face, Shabina is all about care that empowers — not overwhelms. Outside of work, she values balance, movement, connection, and the healing power of meaningful activity.

MScOT, BA
Co-Founder & Registered Occupational Therapist
Poonam brings over 8 years of clinical experience — and her own lived journey with endometriosis and infertility — to her work. She is known for her trauma-informed, empathetic approach and practical, personalized care.
Her background includes supporting individuals with complex mental health conditions to improve emotional regulation, cognitive function, and daily life. Poonam blends evidence-based therapy with movement, mindfulness, and curiosity, drawing on her passion for using the body to support mental health.
When the medical system fell short in her own life, she found strength in holistic healing. She brings an open mind and deep respect for the many ways people seek wellness, and is always willing to explore integrative supports that align with her clients’ needs.
Outside of work, you’ll find her kickboxing, lifting weights, or going on adventures with her husband and her Boxer, Bellaroonski — “Bella” — who is training to become a therapy dog!
