It's been a fair while since the previous Wizard OT podcast, but that's because our main focus has been in relation to opening the Wizard OT therapy studio in Melbourne. This episode gives a brief overview of what we are aiming to achieve with the studio by providing feelings of safety, connection, belonging and opportunities for creative expression.
This podcast provides information about how to understand human health and well being from many perspectives. From the importance of creative art activities to how to keep your brain healthy by your food choices, if you want to improve your physical, mental or social health the Wizard OT podcast is the place to be. It isn't just for health professionals, it's for anyone interested in understanding physical and mental health; and how the things we do on a daily basis can benefit us at any age.
