Courses and coaching for Occupational Therapists to beat burnout so they can excel at work and home.

As Occupational Therapists

we wear all the hats

We are the problem solvers, the helpers and the advocates.  Is it any wonder then that we often feel overwhelmed?

If you’re an OT or OT student who’s plagued by self-doubt, frustration and a sense of disconnect, you’re not alone.  According to the research, the majority of clinicians have (or will) experience burnout at some point in their careers.

Why?

Because tertiary education doesn’t sufficiently equip us with the tools we need to manage ourselves within our work, often resulting in compassion fatigue, poor mental health, and high attrition rates – but it need not be this way! 

The Mindful OT delivers personal and professional development differently. We provide courses and coaching to upskill clinicians, so they develop professional resilience, eliminate stress and achieve excellence in their personal and professional lives.

In short, we take therapists from stressed, stuck and apathetic, to competent, confident and inspired!

So who is The Mindful OT?

Leesa Tuffnell is an OT with over 20 years of experience.  She’s a mum of three, Clinical Supervisor, NLP Practitioner, Trainer and Assessor, Yoga Instructor and is certified in Mental Health First Aid. 

Like you, Leesa has experienced the perils of our profession and after recovering from burnout herself, made it her mission to help fellow therapists avoid the same pitfalls. Leesa is passionate about empowering clinicians to reclaim their wellness (and is also a bit of a geek when it comes to research!) 

Here at the Mindful OT we’re all about facilitating the growth and development of clinicians – but we do it differently! Our services are evidenced based, practical and delivered to you via an OT framework – which WE know, is simply THE best approach!
