occupational therapy
A powerful and transformative branch of healthcare occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals regain independence and lead fulfilling lives after injury, illness, or disability. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and discouraging, occupational therapists serve as guiding lights, empowering individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience and rekindle their passions.
With a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, occupational therapists work holistically, addressing physical, cognitive, emotional, and social factors that influence a person's ability to engage in meaningful activities. They are experts in crafting personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs, goals, and unique circumstances.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that promotes relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. Through the gentle laying of hands or hovering over the body, the practitioner channels universal energy into the recipient, stimulating the body's natural healing abilities. The energy flows through the practitioner's hands and into the recipient's body, targeting areas of imbalance or blockages.
Reiki aims to restore equilibrium on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. It is a non-invasive and non-religious practice that can be beneficial for reducing stress, improving sleep, and aiding in pain management.
Reiki has gained popularity worldwide due to its ability to provide deep relaxation and inner peace, ultimately encouraging holistic health and wellness.

emotional freedom technique (EFT)
Tapping is another alternative energy healing modality. EFT is similar to acupuncture and focuses on the meridians, energy channels, to restore balance to one’s energetic system. Restoring this energy balance can relieve symptoms a negative experience or emotion may have caused. Unlike acupuncture, which uses needles to input pressure at the meridians, EFT involves using fingertips to tap to improve energetic flow. Studies have shown that tapping helps one access your body’s energy and send signals to the part of the brain that controls stress. Research supports that stimulating the meridian points through EFT tapping can reduce the stress or negative emotion one feels from an issue, ultimately restoring balance to a disrupted energetic system. Like reiki, this energy modality is extremely gentle and non-invasive.

Sarah Terrible
Occupational Therapist and Reiki Master
“While St.Thomas is no longer my physical home, I am excited to still be a part of the U.S. Virgin Islands community and offer virtual services to clients in the Caribbean.”
In addition to providing OT and Reiki services, Sarah enjoys teaching group exercise classes such as HIIT, strengthening, and stretching as well as mindfulness classes with a focus on mind-body connection and breathwork. Teaching others and helping them to “get back in their bodies” is extremely empowering and another source of spiritual connection and development. She has also had the opportunity to provide in-services to various workplaces and schools on wellness topics such as burnout, qi gong, work-life balance, and joint protection strategies for decreased incidence of injury.
“Sarah was very diligent and patient, but pushed me an appropriate amount to continue working on strength and mobility outside of therapy. Her kind and gentle nature and consistent reassurance made me feel satisfied and excited with the progress I was making each week. I really enjoyed working with Sarah and feel I made the absolute best choice for my therapy. I honestly do not have any constructive feedback, as I felt the experience overall was well structured, helpful, and consistent!”

“As someone who has come to embrace and respect the process of holistic healing, I was grateful to have a Reiki session with Sarah. Sarah created an environment that made me feel welcomed and safe; she explained her process before getting started and ensured I was comfortable throughout the reading. Her ability to connect with the soul's energy as well as her technical and spiritual knowledge was abundant. She offered keen and insightful feedback on how to embrace the flow of energy, while also taking those next steps to continue healing and improving my well-being. I appreciated Sarah's openness and compassion, and would recommend her to anyone seeking a soulful and spiritual awakening as a means of healing and growing.”

“I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis on both hands. Day-to-day activities with my hands were excruciating. Sarah, my occupational therapist, changed my life. From the first day until our last therapy session, Sarah has been very compassionate, understanding, supportive, and professional. Sarah made an impact on my osteoarthritis journey through her Reiki sessions, referrals, and home exercises. Living with my symptoms has now been tolerable and the pain has significantly been reduced. I can’t thank her enough.”
