Natalie Bledstein

I am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in Art and Occupational Therapy. In over 20 years as an Occupational Therapist, I have worked in custom seating and mobility systems, in outpatient and inpatient rehabilitative settings, in birth to three programs, in schools, and in private practice clinics. I have benefited from expert mentorship in both Sensory Integration and Craniosacral treatment techniques, and have achieved advanced certifications in these areas through extensive post-graduate coursework and study. Please see the "My Skills" tab below for further details regarding my training.

Scaffolding an activity for a child to experience success during a "just-right challenge"; partnering with an adult client in a craniosacral session along their wellness journey; helping parents understand their children a little differently; these and much more bring me joy. Supporting students and colleagues in growing their skills by acting as Teaching Assistant in Upledger Craniosacral classes every year, and as a mentor in the Upledger Mentorship program are also very rewarding.

Since establishing Journeys Occupational Therapy LLC in November of 2013, I have worked with individuals from newborn to 88 years of age. Over the course of my career I have assisted people with migraines, post-concussion, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, stress, depression, chronic pain, learning disabilities, autism spectrum diagnosis, sensory processing disorder, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, developmental delays, Alzheimers or other dementias, and more. Multiple-hands treatments (two or more therapists working with you simultaneously) are available on a limited basis. Please call with any questions.
