📣✨Welcome (back) to our summer OT, Palin!! ✨📣
We are thrilled to welcome Palin back to Santosha Wellness for the summer. You may remember that Palin worked with us previously and we couldn't be happier that she is with us once again. She brings a vast amount of experience from mental health and pediatric practice to elementary education and nature-based therapy.
Let's give Palin some love! ✨

We absolutely loved our time leading a play group at Allie’s Playschool this month! We embraced nature and planted sunflower seeds, getting messy and noticing the world around us as we did it. 🍃🌻😍

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.

Full job posting on our website (see link in comments) ✨

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.
