Meet Bethany
Bethany Stroh-Gingrich (BA, MScOT, OT Reg On, Psychotherapist) completed her Master's at Queen's University, with her thesis focus being on Meditation and Mindfulness. Bethany knows from her own health journey how an integrative approach to health can lead to healing and this is why she opened Sage Holistic OT after working in hospitals for 10 years.
​
When something in your life is limiting you from living to your fullest (pain, depression, anxiety, injury, transitional time in life), Bethany guides you to find strategies to make the shift to overcome these barriers. With her gentle facilitation and coaching, clients are able to make these shifts and are then able to engage and participate in the aspects of their life that are of value to them. Bethany believes that the best way to make these shifts is from a holistic approach that looks at your whole system- Mind, Body and Spirit.
​
Bethany loves all things that have to do with nature, playing with her daughter, doing yoga and meditation. She loves to travel and her favourite place in the world is in her canoe on a lake.
Sage Holistic OT believes in your intuitive Wisdom and ability to Clear what is no longer useful to you so that you can Heal yourself.
