💭 The mantra “rest is productive” is all over social media, and while rest can improve productivity, it doesn’t have to be about productivity at all.

This mantra reinforces that productivity is the ultimate goal, that you need to be productive, that productivity should be prioritised. It can be helpful for people who feel guilty or unworthy of rest to give yourself permission to rest. But shouldn’t we be challenging whether that really should be the purpose at all?

Rest is essential. Rest shouldn’t need to be seen as a reward. And it shouldn’t have to be productive.

In occupational therapy, occupations can be largely categorised as self-care, productivity or leisure, and a balance between these supports health and wellbeing.

What else is important to you besides productivity? And how does rest support you to meet those values?

🎃 Happy Halloween!

Occupational therapy helps people of all ages overcome challenges completing their everyday tasks and activities, which are referred to as occupations.

Take a look at some of the Halloween themed occupations that an occupational therapist could support you with.

10/10/2025

✨ Are hormone changes with your menstrual cycle or perimenopause impacting your life?

✨ Need support to improve your sleep, mental wellbeing and physical health?

✨ An Occupational Therapist could be just what you’re looking for!

Occupational Therapy is a science-based healthcare profession that helps people overcome daily challenges and engage in meaningful activities - known as occupations. These are the things we need, want, or enjoy doing, like showering, cooking, working, sleeping, socialising, tending a garden or pursuing hobbies. Occupations support our wellbeing, give life structure and purpose, and connect us with others.

✨ While I offer coaching and talk-based support, therapy with me isn’t all talk - Occupational Therapy is about doing, so you’ll engage in activities and practice skills in session to build the confidence to continue beyond working with me.

✨ If you’re interested and want to find out more about how I can help you, get in touch.

So many of us are taught to aim for productivity, perfection, or pleasing others.

What if your goal was to feel grounded, well-rested, creative—or even joyful?

Occupational therapy helps you reconnect to the things that light you up—then build those into your everyday life.

Let’s create a life that feels like yours.

We often try to “think” our way out of overwhelm.
But your nervous system speaks body-language first.

In OT, we use movement as regulation—not punishment.
Try:
🧍‍♀️ Stretching with long exhales
🚶‍♀️ A 5-min slow walk
🌀 Rocking or swaying
💃 Dancing to one song

This isn’t “exercise”—it’s medicine for your mind.

01/09/2025

Struggle to journal regularly? You’re not alone.

Try these easy, low-pressure prompts:
✨ What do I need more of today?
💭 What am I holding that I could let go of?
🌿 What would a kind choice for myself look like?

In OT, we use journaling as a mental load release, a nervous system anchor, and a values compass.

No perfect grammar needed.

29/08/2025

Chronic pain and fatigue, PMDD, or hormonal shifts can make consistency feel impossible.

So instead of building “perfect” habits, we focus on resilient ones:
🧩 Habits with flexible timing
🪶 Habits that feel good in your body
🌊 Habits that can ebb and flow with your energy

The goal is never perfection. It’s sustainability.

28/08/2025

If your goals feel disconnected or your habits aren’t sticking—start with your values.

Not what you should want. What actually matters to you.

OT coaching starts here:
❤️ What do you want to stand for in this season of your life?
✨ How do you want to feel?
🧩 What activities or choices support that?

When your actions align with your values, motivation becomes more natural.

27/08/2025

You don’t need to buy supplements or fancy gadgets.
Sometimes the simplest changes make the biggest impact.

Try one of these tonight:
🕯️ Dim the lights 90 mins before bed
📵 Keep your phone out of the bedroom
📓 Journal your to-dos and worries before you lie down
🌬️ Do 2–3 minutes of calming breathwork
🕰 If you wake in the night—don't check the time

Each of these sends a message to your body: “It’s safe to rest.”

Therapy isn’t just for crises. Coaching isn’t just for CEOs.
OT isn’t just for injuries or illness.

Support is for anyone who wants to feel better, function better, and live more meaningfully.

✨ You don’t have to wait until things are falling apart.
If you’re stuck, tired, or feeling off—reach out.

25/08/2025

Perimenopause often brings disrupted sleep—night sweats, restless legs, early waking, or waking wired at 3am.

And yes, it’s hormonal—but that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about it.

In OT, we help clients:
🌡️ Adjust temperature and light exposure
⏰ Build predictable rhythms
🧠 Address worry and nighttime arousal
🧘‍♀️ Use nervous system calming before bed

You can still get good sleep—it just might look different than it did at 25.

22/08/2025

🧘 Your nervous system doesn’t respond to logic—it responds to signals of safety.

That’s why we use bottom-up strategies in OT:
▪Gentle movement
▪Breath work
▪Temperature change
▪Sound, scent, or pressure

These aren’t luxury self-care rituals. They’re neurobiological tools that help restore calm.

Try this today:
🌬️ Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 6
Do it 3 times and notice what shifts.
