Support & Mentorship for Aspiring OTs
Focused on inspiring the next generation of students and aspiring OTs, to increase representation and diversity in the therapy field! In healthcare we work with so many clients from diverse backgrounds and it is so important that they are seen.
Birth & Postpartum
Birth & Parenting should include more community care and mental health support. Additional information on my role as an OT in perinatal mental health and postpartum is available on my blog & emirasmamas.com ! Check out my collaborations & services link to access more resources on maternal health.
