Adyana Brashear, MS, OT

I’m excited to be part of Changing Tides Therapy Services, bringing over 25 years of pediatric occupational therapy experience to support children and families in Alaska. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to helping children overcome and improve upon a wide range of challenges, including developmental, cognitive, sensory, motor, and behavioral difficulties.

 

I love incorporating Interactive Metronome, Integrated Listening Systems (ILS), Safe and Sound Protocol, Balance-Auditory-Vision Exercises, Brain Gym, Astronaut Training, Ready Bodies, Learning Minds, and other amazing programs to enhance sensory processing, motor coordination, cognitive development, social skills, and emotional regulation. My in-depth studies in Waldorf Education, Spatial Dynamics, Right Brain-Left Brain integration, and Conscious Discipline further enrich my holistic, child-centered approach.

 

In addition to my therapy work, I’m passionate about healthy living and plant-based nutrition. As a plant-based, living foods chef, I embrace the power of raw, nutritious foods, which aligns with my overall wellness philosophy.

 

Outside of work, I love being a mom and have enjoyed caring for various animals, including cats, dogs, horses, ponies, donkeys, and chickens. I enjoy traveling and currently split my time between Alaska and a small retreat center I manage in Central America, where I focus on holistic wellness.

 

I’m excited to be part of the Changing Tides Therapy team and look forward to supporting the children and families I serve
