Over the past few months, we have had a growing wait list and have very thoughtfully considered how we might respond to this need. After a lot of consideration and planning, we have decided to open up 1-2 part-time positions for a pediatric occupational therapist!

The start date and schedule are both flexible. This would be a great position for someone looking to add to another job position or who is open to slowly growing into a position.

Today I had the opportunity to present at the Early Childhood Conference at ! I presented on the topic of fine motor skills in early childhood and was able to represent my clinical work as well as my coaching and advocacy work with .

Today, our form of resistance was walking land with the incredible and dreaming up spaces for our next big step. We are looking at homes and land for our next phase of work with our therapy interventions and the addition of . Land where families can come and connect with, learn from, respect and appreciate. Land where we will work to create equitable access, continue our systems level work, and open more opportunities for children and families.
I share this bit of our light because this week has also been extraordinarily heavy and exhausting as the collective. For us, some of it was filled with energizing advocacy work and boots on the ground action. Other parts of it, though, were filled with tears and real fear and hurts and disappointment. Yet the work carries on, as it should. We continue to make calls, push and advocate, listen and respond, and fight. Our work has always been about this and always will. Seeing the humanity and caring as the collective.
Community is resistance.

I had the opportunity to attend a retreat this weekend near Lake Michigan.
I gathered with other incredible women, some of whom began as friends and others as strangers. And by the end, we were sisters.
…
I spent very intentional time during this weekend allowing myself to dream and think big with Santosha.
And let me tell you, big things are happening.
…
It’s time to reclaim the village. Be the collective.
Get kids outside, create equitable access, uplift caregivers, connect to resources, challenge the systems.
…
It’s going to be amazing.

We are so honored to be voted as a Top Occupational Therapist in Southwest Michigan for another year in a row! What an honor it is to support, advocate, and hold the stories of all the kids and families we work with.
And to be tied with another OT who I consider a close mentor and have always looked up to (Arcadia Center for OT 💜), how lucky are we?
There are some incredible OTs on this list, and there are even more that aren't listed here but equally deserve celebration for the work they do.
Thank you for this recognition, Southwest Michigan and KZOO KIDS !

As we move through this season of gratitude, stillness, and wintering, I've been reflecting a lot on how my business came to be. Where the idea of Santosha Wellness was born. Where I was born as a pediatric therapist. And really, it's in these pictures. The moments when I was coaching kids fitness classes. The moments when I was living and working in the Dominican Republic. I always knew I wanted to be a therapist, but it was in the moments that these pictures hold where I fell in love with working with kids.
I fell in love with their joy.
I fell in love with their rawness.
I fell in love with holding their stories.
I remember being in each of these moments and realizing, this is was passion looks like. To love what you do.
It is a sacred honor to be a pediatric occupational therapist. To create a safe space for kids and families to laugh, cry, tell truths, share worries, grow stronger.
Santosha Wellness is made from so many dreams, stories, people, and trust. Not just me, but from every soul that crossed our path.
This season, while I lean into the stillness and the wintering, I will continue to reflect and celebrate the winding journey that brought me here today, with all of you.

Happy Monday! Kids here have been working hard the last few weeks by making snowflakes so we can create a winter wonderland in our waiting room. What a fun time of year ❄️❄️❄️

Today our clinic turned into an animal hospital, where we gave medical exams, did x-rays, put on bandages, and fed all our sick animals. The possibilities are endless for what a day of OT will look like!

Anyone else ready to do more moss-ing and less boss-ing? Us! We are getting ready to pause, rest, and cozy up for our winter break. ❄️ We’ll be closed December 22 to January 2 ❄️ This allows us time to turn inward, be with our loved ones, and tend to our hearts so we can be recharged for the new year.
