What
Makes Life Meaningful?
A person is living a meaningful life when they are participating in activities and relating to others in ways that fit with their unique values. Living a meaningful life looks different for every person.
Hi, my name is Martha Butler, BHSc(OT), Registered Occupational Therapist and owner of MLOT.
I am passionate about empowering people with chronic physical and/or mental health conditions to return to meaningful activities in their lives.
I have over 30 years of work experience as an Occupational Therapist. My primary areas of practice have been facilitating people with chronic conditions, anxiety and/or depression to use self-management skills so they can resume valued activities in their lives. I take a collaborative approach with my clients and other clinicians involved in their care to ensure treatment is coordinated and directed by the client’s values and functional goals.
