Mara Levy

Do more of what matters with integrative occupational therapy - let your nervous system recover, give your body space to heal, and allow your spirit the deep rest you need with a blend of somatic therapies, manual therapies, and classic occupational therapy approaches custom-tuned to your needs.

Hi! I’m Mara Levy, and my pronouns are they/them. I want to build a better world, with more justice, safety, and joy for us all. I think an important way to get there is helping us heal, so we have more capacity to do good in the world. As each of us becomes more whole, we can spread ripples of well-being throughout the world.

As an occupational therapist, I work with body, mind, spirit, spirit, identity, roles, community - basically everything that makes us human. I have a lot of specialized skills available, but all my treatment is in the service of helping my clients build their capacity to do the things they care about.

• Somatic therapies are mind-body care that can help you reconnect with your body, learn to feel safe, manage stress, and live a more meaningful life. Somatic Experiencing is my favorite approach, and can incorporate talk, self-touch, mindfulness, bodywork, movement, and more.
• Bodywork can help with physical issues like pain and fatigue, and can also help with mind-body challenges including nervous system regulation and trauma healing. All of my bodywork is intended to be pain-free, trauma-informed, and deeply relaxing. My specific modalities include lymphatic drainage massage, craniosacral therapy, neurolymphatic drainage, visceral manipulation, and myofascial release.
• Occupational therapy is the therapy of doing - we support people’s ability to do the things that matter to them. I incorporate traditional OT approaches to executive function support, sensory regulation, interoception building, and pacing education into my integrative practice.

Learn to feel safe in your body, heal from trauma, and build the resilience you need to navigate trying times with holistic care that’s fat positive, queer and trans celebrating, neurodiversity affirming, antiracist, and liberation centered.
