About Us
Lifeworks Occupational Therapy is a well-established business, now in its 7th year. We started offering private occupational therapy services in the areas of mental health and persistent pain as we could see a significant gap in the services available in the community. As we have grown, we have considered each individual occupational therapist’s skill set and areas of interest, and worked to build them a caseload that is interesting, inspiring and rewarding, leading to high levels of professional satisfaction, and personal and professional growth and development.
