Mindful Medicine

When most people think of "habits" they think of bad things. Smoking or picking at your nails. But habits can be good things also, and we're going to talk about simple ways to transform your life by incorporating healthy habits day to day. And occupational therapists are the people who help get you back to doing the things they like to and need to do in their everyday lives. Inherently they have a holistic perspective, that focuses on adapting the environment to the needs of a patient. Susan Roberts is an occupational therapist with a diverse background incorporating spiritual wellness, nature, and traditional healing into her practice. In this episode, she talks about her decades-long career as an occupational therapist, what she means by "sustainable health," as well as folk and indigenous healing practices.
