About Katerina

Katerina is an Occupational Therapist and consultant with a special interest in the management of chronic pain. 

In her clinical work and research, Katerina has focused on treating women with chronic pain,  post-concussion issues, autoimmune conditions and fatigue. Katerina integrates holistic women’s health into her practice, aiming to support clients facing the unique challenges that can come alongside womanhood, including pelvic pain, pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause.  

Katerina found her passion for helping others at a young age following her own complex healing journey after surviving several traumatic accidents, as well as cardiac and digestive illnesses. Through this she found strength in resilience, and recognized healing as a unique experience to the individual that involves all aspects of function, including body, mind, spirit and interpersonal relationships. 

In 2016, Katerina founded the Chronic Pain & OT Practice Network for CAOT-BC out of a passion for establishing an occupational therapy community focused on developing therapeutic skills and offering support to therapists working with clients who have chronic pain. She continues to chair meetings for the Chronic Pain & OT Practice Network alongside consulting for projects with Pain BC, St. Paul’s Hospital, CHANGEpain Clinic, The Arthritis Society, Angel Hands Integrative Centre, and Queen Margaret University. 

In her Occupational Therapy practice, Katerina creates treatment plans focused on the restoration of function in self-care, productivity, leisure and life balance. Her philosophy combines compassion with the belief that all individuals with chronic conditions have the potential to improve their quality of life. Skilled in the understanding of how the body and brain function together, Katerina works to educate her clients and help them to develop the skills to manage their conditions. Clients also have the option of working with Katerina online, so therapy does not interfere with work, energy or other daily commitments.

Katerina has helped over 300 clients with her therapeutic programs, and has had positive results with clients reporting they are more able to participate in meaningful activities and return to work they were previously unable to do.
