Meet Your OT, Sarah
I am a Registered Occupational Therapist & Holistic Sleep Coach. Supporting children and their families is my biggest passion that I have been following since I graduated from university as an Occupational Therapist (OT) in 2007.
My areas of expertise are neurodiverse children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), anxiety, autism (ASD), and other developmental delays. I have helped hundreds of families internationally thrive, despite their challenges. I use a strength-based and family-centered approach and always include the child’s environment (people, places and tasks that are relevant to the child) in the therapeutical process. In 2021, I founded “Real World Kids OT”, a mobile OT clinic with a visionary concept to bring Occupational Therapy into your “real life”. Rather than you coming into a clinic setting, I come to YOU, wherever your child needs support (at home, in the community, at daycare or school).
