Kristin McConnell Occupational Therapy & Wellness
About
I help people managing frustrating chronic health conditions to regulate their nervous system and redesign their life so they can achieve their goals. I specialize in working with individuals managing chronic and invisible illnesses including EDS/hypermobility and related conditions like POTS/dysautonomia, , MCAS, migraine, pain, fatigue, and more. My overarching goal it to help my clients (re)connect to their bodies and (re)build body trust so they can feel empowered and confident to do what they love. My approach emphasizes nervous system regulation, increasing stability through movement strategies and adaptations, and practical lifestyle modifications. I incorporate nervous system and sensory regulation into to my work because I find that people often don’t understand how much these systems are impacting how they feel and act every day. Together, we create and implement a set of strategies to regulate your system, get you moving safely, and help you navigate health ups and downs so your life becomes more aligned with how you want to be living. In addition to a nervous system focus, I help my clients to increase insight around their triggers and build a wide toolkit of symptom management strategies, manage fatigue through activity pacing and energy conservation, improve their sleep, safely implement a movement program, and more!
