JESSICA NORRIS

Occupational Therapist/Owner

I graduated from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Honours in Psychology and went on to complete my Bachelors of Science in Occupational Therapy from McMaster University. I have been a registered occupational therapist with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario (COTO) since 2000. I practiced for 7 years at SickKids Hospital in Toronto, working in their neurology, oncology, and sensory-motor programs.  In 2008, I moved to Almonte, and began practicing at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) in the areas of feeding and infant/child sensory-motor development. I have also worked in the school system and the community with infants, children and youth, consulting with teachers and support staff.  I have been solely working in private practice for the past 15 years. I live and work in the beautiful town of Almonte. Outside of the work I do, I greatly enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. I volunteer in my community and within the school system. I find my peace in reading and walking our dogs!

I have completed many professional development courses in the areas of feeding, neurodevelopment treatment, sensory processing and self-regulation, vision and vestibular integration, therapeutic listening, integrated listening services, astronaut training, trauma, and autism. I am trained in the Safe and Sound Protocol, an auditory-based therapy based in Polyvagal theory. I offer this therapy both in clinic and remotely.

I see children in my clinic in Almonte. I also provide parent and community consultation in the areas of sensory processing, development of regulation skills throughout childhood, and trauma-informed parenting. I offer virtual parent consultation sessions where we can problem solve together to help address your concerns and meet your goals.
