Well-Balanced OTs Group Mentorship
Scroll down for more info on the next cohort!
I am lucky to have had good mentors in my first few years as a new therapist.
They were dedicated to training the staff because they wanted to ensure that we were providing quality care and services to their clients. It wasn’t all about productivity and caseload minimums.
It was about developing skills, confidence, and further education.
Lack of mentorship is one of the biggest complaints of therapists. There’s no one to learn from, observe, and grow with. We’ve all felt that moment where we don’t know something and there’s no one to help.
A good mentor is imperative, but not always provided in all settings. Some companies are more focused on productivity than they are on making their therapists better. This shocks me! The more confident and educated a therapist is, the more the caregiver is going to recommend their service!
Other companies may have constraints in time and accessibility to other therapists, placing mentorship on the back burner when it should be front and center.
I want to help you become that exceptional therapist:
The one who plays detective to figure out the “why”.
The one who feels confident when talking to parents and other professionals.
The one who understands how the sensory systems work together and how it really does impact everything we do.
The one who knows that connection is your key to compliance.
It's why I started Well-Balanced OTs, a 12-week mentorship program for OTPs
Group mentoring sessions with no more than 15 Occupational Therapists or Assistants per group to ensure that each member is able to contribute, ask their questions, and leave with answers.
Enrollment is closed!
Our next cohort will begin in August/Septemeber
Weekly Focus Topics:
Using a Strength-Based Approach
Evaluation Tools
Sensory Processing
Modulation + Self Regulation
Treatment
Feeding Evaluations
Oral-Motor Skills
Feeding Therapy
Handwriting
Reflex Integration
Documentation + Goals
Social-Emotional Learning
Preventing Burnout
How it’s structured:
You’ll receive a weekly topic lesson that you can watch at any time (typically between 30-60 minutes). Bring your topic questions and your caseload questions to the live Zoom and we’ll have a discussion, plus have time to talk about any other topics you want.
We’ll meet for 75 minutes weekly for 12 weeks (join us for what you can)
If you have questions but can’t attend the live call, send me an e-mail and I’ll either answer them directly or I’ll bring them up during the live call so you can hear the group discussion when you watch at a later date.
After 12 weeks, you’ll have bonus access to our Pediatric Collaborative for 2 months, where we’ll continue supporting, educating, and connecting with other therapists. Meet at least 3x a month for case-studies, short courses, and collab sessions. The cost is $47/month after the 2 months.
Exclusive Resources:
Activity Guides: Let me do some planning for you! You’ll now receive 10 themed activity guides focusing on fine motor, visual motor, sensory, and feeding activities that you can use in your sessions!
Templates: Initial Evaluation, Feeding Evaluation, Therapy Guides, Goal Templates, Goal tracking sheets, IEP management, etc.

Yup! This program is for both OTs and OTAs. We have two session topics on evaluations, and even if you are not directly completing them, it’s still really helpful to understand what the OT is looking at and how it translates to therapy.
You do not! Each live session will be recorded and sent to you shortly after the meeting. You’ll have access to these sessions and resources for a lifetime. To earn PDUs you must participate via live session or by watching the recordings and asking questions or sharing experiences.
I offer two meeting times a week. If you are unable to attend your scheduled time, you are welcome to join us the other day.
You can join too! We’ve had therapists from Canada, South Africa, Tawain, and Australia join us. Each of the pre-recorded lessons have closed captions if needed. If you are unable to make the live sessions, you can also take advantage of the community board to connect with the other OTs and ask questions!
You will have access to the weekly topic information for a lifetime. All of the material is available for download!
You will be asked to download the Activity Guides and TPT resources by the end of the 12 weeks.
I’d love that! Once you graduate, you can join our WBOT COLLABORATIVE.
We meet at least 3x a month for case-studies, collab sessions, and advanced learning topics (webinars).
PDU will be earned towards NBCOT.
You’ll continue to have access to all my resources, including anything new I make and 20% off Well-Balanced OT webinars.
The cost is $47 a month.
Unfortunately at this time, I do not offer refunds once the program has begun. If you decide after the program begins that you are unable to join in live sessions (and you want to), I do offer you the opportunity to participate in a future cohort when the time allows.
With the program, you’ll get 2, 30 minute 1:1 sessions! If you’d like to schedule any additional sessions they are 30% off.
If you’d like more info or have any questions, I’m happy to get on a quick 15-minute call to see if we’d be the right fit.
You can schedule that here.
