About Be You Occupational Therapy
We are the OT for OTs. Founded by experienced occupational therapist and life coach Kimmy Lane, Be You OT supports OTs and leaders to thrive. We offer professional supervision, life coaching, consulting, emotional freedom techniques and occupational therapy sessions for OTs and allied health leaders across Australia and other English-speaking countries.
Our mission: helping OTs and leaders truly be themselves
We believe knowing yourself and being yourself is the foundation for feeling fulfilled, both professionally and personally. So, we support occupational therapists at all levels — in clinical, leadership, academic and supervisory roles — to develop a strong personal foundation and a compassionate, values-based and profitable work life.
A unique, OT-focused approach
Our unique approach is influenced by our embodiment of occupational therapy principles in all aspects of our lives. We prioritise the Model of Occupational Wholeness, plus wisdom from a broad range of evidence-based disciplines.
We’re here to help you:
Develop your career and meet your OT competency standards.
Dive deeper so you can grow both personally and professionally, helping you embody OT principles and philosophies in all aspects of your life, beyond your practice as an OT.
Overcome burnout, stress and frustration, and begin to consciously cultivate sustainable growth, achievement and fulfilment practices.
Learn evidence-based skills and practices to create an efficient, compassionate, values-based and profitable work life.
Feel more integrated and to bring your whole self to your professional role as well as your personal life.
Our Values
-
Connection
We understand the therapeutic benefits of cultivating relationships and communities where people feel cherished and experience a sense of belonging.
-
Cultivation
We believe in the necessity and joy of lifelong learning. We celebrate and nurture growth, and trust our curiosity and bliss when learning and growing.
-
Fulfilment
We prioritise fulfilment and joy in all areas of our lives. We absolutely love raising people up and seeing people thrive in good lives.
Cultivating kindness and fulfilment for health professionals
When our Director Kimmy Lane launched Be You OT in 2020, she knew she wanted to do business differently — and inspire OTs and health leaders to do the same.
“I started Be You so I could cultivate a company in alignment with my life purpose and values, and so I could work with integrity, a sense of freedom and joy,” Kimmy recalls. “I had been in allied health leadership roles for several years and I knew there was a better, kinder and more simple way to run a business and to lead a team.”
Our philosophy at Be You OT extends beyond just a ‘work life’ focus. Instead, we embody and represent OT principles, frames of reference and techniques across our entire practice and life, both personally and in the way we teach and serve others
“My purpose in life is to enable people to know themselves, be themselves and be fulfilled,” Kimmy says. “OT perfectly aligns with this and has become a way of life for me.”
Each Be You OT offering has therefore been developed specifically for its value in helping OTs and leaders learn effective, efficient and empowering ways to foster more enjoyment and fulfilment in all areas of their lives.
