About

Hi, I’m Emily!

Registered occupational therapist and the founder of Beyond OT.

I help adults navigate physical and mental health challenges, and offer ergonomic and job site assessments to support safe and lasting return to work.

Originally from New Brunswick, I bring a compassionate, down-to-earth approach to care. Services are available in English and French, virtually across most provinces, in-clinic in Gatineau, and through mobile visits in the Outaouais region.

I believe healing comes from understanding your struggles and exploring what's possible beyond them. My goal is to help you move forward with clarity, purpose, and confidence.

Off the Clock

You’ll find me engaging in activities that bring me joy:

Teaching yoga;
Playing sports;
Spending time outdoors; and,
Connecting with friends and family.

I love to laugh and don’t take life (or myself) too seriously. Living a balanced life filled with purpose, connection, and moments of joy, even in the small things, is a big part of how I stay grounded and engaged.

I’m always seeking new adventures and finding ways to challenge myself. Most recently, I spent three months living and working in Inuvik, a small town in the Northwest Territories, a unique and rewarding experience that pushed me out of my comfort zone and deepened my appreciation for northern communities.
