Improving Women & Children's Health Through Occupational Therapy
My Mission
Hello! I am Susanne Williams of Touchstone OT. I believe that occupational therapy has the potential to transform the lives of women and children. I am passionate about empowering women and families to take control of their health and lead fulfilling lives in all the ways that are meaningful to them.
I understand that with good resources, tools and strategies, women can thrive and embrace each phase of their lives. I am also passionate about connection and building community. Breaking stigma around women's health is long overdue. Let's get the conversation started together!!
