Kara Welke, OTD, OTR/L, CLT creator of the Next Level Occupational Therapy platform interviews Trish Williams. Trish has been an Occupational Therapist for over 25 years. She holds a BA (Kinesiology) 1991, University of Western Ontario; BHScOT 1994, McMaster University, Occupational Therapy. She was a Professional Associate and Admissions Committee Member, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, McMaster University, 2001-2004; and she is currently an Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta (2011-current). She is also one of the founding faculty of the Calgary Campus for the U of A Department of Occupational Therapy.

Starting Spring Occupational Therapy, a pediatric multidisciplinary rehabilitation clinic was born out of the desire to provide a boutique, high touch experience for families and kids with sensory needs. Now in its 6th year of operations, Spring OT has expanded to its current 1700 sq foot dwelling; an old, character home filled with hardwood and large windows that now offers OT, SLP, and Behavioural Strategy in its range of services. Over 50% of clients are private pay and yearly revenue continues to build toward the mid-six-figure range.

Professionally, she is proudest of making the switch from therapist to CEO, and she embraces that role by now providing the same high-end client experience, once reserved solely for her therapy families, to OT entrepreneurs as a business coach. Her niche is helping OTs who know they need to move from hustle to scaling, in order to find more time to grow their business, make more money, and create a bigger impact.
