As the days get darker many of us notice a shift in our mood. Today we are sharing 5 tips to minimize the winter blues ❄️

1. Maximize natural light- Open curtains, sit near windows, and get outside when possible. Even 10–15 minutes of daylight can improve mood and energy levels. If this doesn’t help light therapy can be another great option to get more light, try a happylight!
2. Get moving- Movement is medicine! Try indoor exercises, stretching routines, or winter walks to boost endorphins and fight sluggishness.
3. Engage in meaningful activities and stay social- Doing things you enjoy—crafts, reading, music, volunteering, seeing loves ones—can increase feelings of purpose and joy.
4. Support your sleep hygiene- Keep a consistent sleep schedule, reduce screen time before bed, and create a restful nighttime routine.
5. Use sensory strategies- Cozy textures, calming scents, and warm beverages can help regulate the nervous system and bring comfort on gloomy days.

In occupational therapy, kindness is more than a gesture — it’s a powerful tool for connection, healing, and growth.

Whether it’s offering a listening ear, celebrating small wins, or supporting someone’s journey to independence, kindness is at the heart of what we do!

Let’s spread it a little further today 💫

Get to know our amazing team a little better! Read below to see their thoughtful answers to our questions and discover the heart behind the hands that help 💛

💬 “What’s your favourite therapy tool or strategy?”

My favourite therapy tool often changes month by month but one that I always love doing is obstacle courses because they work on so many skills from planning, impulse control (when i add in freeze frame), sensory processing, and gross motor skills.

💬 “What’s something you wish more people knew about OT?”

One thing I wish more people knew about OT is how big our scope is. As a pediatric OT, we can help with so many areas/ goals including: fine motor/ handwriting skills, self-care tasks (such as toileting and brushing teeth), social skills, school engagement, and so much more. I think we are very successful at helping with so many different areas/ goals is because we focus heavily on sensory processing skills and emotional regulation skills which tend to be a big barriers to a lot of these areas.

💬 “What’s your favourite therapy tool or strategy?”

I love being able to use lots of different sensory strategies and tools in our sessions like the swings or trampoline, which are activities our clients can easily access outside of our sessions too!

💬 “What’s something you wish more people knew about OT?”

One thing I wish more people knew about OT is that it’s not just about “occupations” in the sense of work or careers, it’s about helping people participate in the daily activities that matter most to them. Whether that’s a child learning to play, an adult returning to cooking after an injury or an older adult staying independent at home, OT focuses on meaningful independence and quality of life across the lifespan.

💬 “What’s your favourite therapy tool or strategy?”

My favourite therapy tool for toddlers is the bouncing cow. Not only does this work on core strength, motor coordination and jumping it can also assist with sensory regulation, fine motor skills by being able to hold on as well as a great tool to use to connect with little ones!

💬 “What’s one thing being an OT/OTA has taught you?”

One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned as an OT is the incredible power of compassion and empathy. Everyone wants their concerns to be heard, understood, and validated. Truly listening not only builds trust, it opens the door to setting meaningful goals that align with what matters most to the person in front of you

💬 “What’s your favourite therapy tool or strategy?”

I love weaving my clients’ own interests into their OT sessions. When therapy feels personal and meaningful, participation and progress naturally grow!

One of my go-to examples? Using therapy animals to create a calm, safe and engaging space where clients feel relaxed and supported while working on their goals.

💬 “What’s one thing you wish people knew about OT?”

Occupational therapy is so much more than people think!  It’s not just about recovering from injuries, it’s about supporting every aspect of daily life: self-care, school, work, play, and beyond. 
OT helps people build skills, confidence and independence so they can do the things that matter most to them.
