Courtney Smith is an email copywriter for rehab therapists, a non-clinical venture that she pursued during the coronavirus pandemic. Clinically, she is a unicorn dual therapist, credentialed as both an occupational and physical therapist (University of St Augustine 2013, 2015), and the majority of her clinical experience is in geriatrics. Her transition from clinical care was birthed from spending 8 months in Hawaii as a travel therapist, and of course, burnout. Reading Tim Ferriss's book, "The 4-Hour Workweek" also fueled that fire. As an entrepreneur, Courtney prides herself on being able to put her writing hobby to work while advocating for private practice owners by helping with their direct marketing strategy. She believes that cash-based practices are the future of the PT & OT professions, and she hopes to help others avoid career abandonment by writing non-sleazy email campaigns that attract, nurture, and convert online traffic into clients. She's serious about regaining that autonomy that they preached to us about in grad school! Courtney loves to support those in non-clinical roles as well, and you can learn more about her copywriting services on her website (theofficeoncall.com). While not working, Courtney can be found on the nearest hiking trail with her husband, Cory, binging cute dog videos on Instagram, or dreaming about her retirement in Hawaii.”

Sorry everyone, it's just me today. This episode is dedicated to the topic of anxiety and 'the occupation of worry'. I discuss everything from how anxiety is developed within the brain to evidence-based methods you can use on yourself, as well as with your clients. Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, there has been an increase in anxiety in both adults and children. Occupational therapy practitioners need to be aware of how to appropriately address anxiety clinically, as well as how to manage it in their own life.

Welcome to episode 8 of The Innovative OT. I took about a 2 month break and now I am back, with no plans of slowing down again. Due to Covid-19 I needed some time to restructure my courses and ensure I was present for both my family as well as my students.

Your host, Sarah, sits down with Dr. Cathy Cavaliere and discusses the topic of sensory health. Dr. Cavaliere is not only a pioneer in this area, but she is breaking down the barriers as to what we as OT practitioners can do with our sensory processing knowledge.
Dr. Cavaliere is assistant professor in the Occupational Therapy Program at Dominican College where she teaches both research courses the Adolescence course. Dr. Cavaliere graduated from Quinnipiac College’s Occupational Therapy Program in 1998. She received her PhD in Health Science from Seton Hall University in 2010. Her doctoral work involved investigating the physiologic components of sensory processing disorders (vagal tone) and the differences in the physiologic responses to sensation in children with autism and typically developing children.
Dr. Cavaliere has been a practicing clinician for over 20 years and has spent 15 of those working in pediatrics in various settings including schools, early intervention and community based clinics. She opened her own private practice in 2014 where she serves children and adolescents with sensory processing disorders and their families. She spends much of her clinical time coaching and empowering families to become self- aware and self- confident both as individuals, and as a family unit.
Dr. Cavaliere’s unique approach to working with families and individuals combines a sensory informed perspective along with a polyvagal informed perspective. The combination has shaped her thought and her approach intervention.
Dr. Cavaliere has completed Mentorship Level 1 &2 and the Research Mentorship at the STAR center for sensory processing disorders. She is currently an instructor in training with STAR center. She has lectured extensively to various audiences including scholars, colleagues, teachers and parents, on sensory processing and related topics.
Dr. Cavaliere is passionate about the role of sensory health in overall health and well-being. She is spearheading a Sensory Health clinic at Dominican College. The mission of this clinic is to increase awareness of the importance of sensory health in well-being and the impact that sensory processing can have on supporting mental and physical health among college students. In addition, this clinic will serve undergraduate students on a one to one basis who are at risk for academic failure or mental health challenges. Further, Dr. Cavaliere is conducting an expansive critically appraised topic on the role of sensory processing in health and well-being including the role of sensory
processing in mental health, physical health, resilience, relationships, self-actualization, addiction and incarceration. This will be presented as a short course at the 2020 AOTA National Conference in Boston.

In today's episode I take some time to talk with Jesse Madera who is the co-founder and Vice President of ClinicalHQ. Jesse Madera is an Occupational Therapist from San Diego, California. He started his career at Rady Children’s Hospital doing inpatient acute work prior to transitioning to home health care. He worked at the largest non-hospital affiliated home health company in California for 6 years, first as a treating clinician, then a rehab lead, then as a rehab manager, and eventually as a program director.
Jesse helped bring about over 300% census growth to the assisted living side of the home health business and now does healthcare consulting to hospitals, home health and hospice companies, and assisted living communities.
He has spoken to thousands of seniors throughout California about healthy aging and preserving function despite illness, injury, or age related decline. Jesse cofounded ClinicalHQ because he felt clinicians were too burdened by paperwork and often unsupported--which ultimately left patients high and dry. Jesse’s mission is to help transform the average clinician’s life through technology that empowers clinicians of all disciplines to enjoy their jobs again, provide great care, and have minimal paperwork!
