About me,

Hello and welcome! My name is Hannah Furness and I am a passionate and dedicated Occupational Therapist.

Connection is at the root of what I do with my clients. I am a strengths-based therapist with experience in clinics, schools, home, and community settings. I received my Masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Alberta and have a special clinical interest in pediatric work concerning parent-child relationships, sensory processing, gross motor development, and feeding.

I have provided OT services to children ranging from 2-17 years of age with a variety of conditions.

I am registered with the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT), the College of Occupational Therapists British Columbia (COTBC), and am on the Registry of Autism Service Providers (RASP).

Our mission is to foster strength and growth within children and their families through connection and compassion.
