Spirituality and Intuition in Occupational Therapy
I was interviewed about “Spirituality and Intuition in Occupational Therapy” by Mandy Chamberlain, MOTR/L on her Seniors Flourish Podcast. Listen to Podcast Here Description from the show: “Even though there is a large percentage of the US population that affiliates with some level of spirituality or God, our current healthcare system does not often put a priority on spirituality and intuition outside of a typical hospital chaplain.

Listen to Your Heart – For these Benefits
Heart as the Center of the Seat of Consciousness You probably often hear “Listen to your heart.” How often do you really do this, and what does the really mean?
