Welcome!
What in the world is Occupied Insights you ask.. Great question ;-)! My work blends the healing power of a person’s individual guidance system with my experience as a mental health OT (a therapy which at it's heart and root is focused on enhancing what we do to occupy our time here). Our inner selves are constantly guiding us, but in today’s busy, distracting world, it’s often difficult to hear and act on that guidance. That’s where I come in.
I facilitate the exploration of spiritual and transcendent experiences that you may have already had. I help you develop and tune into your intuition using modalities such as somatic practices, dreamwork, and interactive guided imagery. These modalities emphasize the wisdom of our bodies and hearts which receive and hold massive amounts of often untapped symbolic/FELT information. Once we have tuned in, we can begin on the integration of these insights, little by little, into daily life. This gives the intuition life and helps us learn the language of our intuition in a more embodied way. Spiritual lessons and messages are beautiful, but without some physical action or “doing”, they can remain abstract and lifeless.
​
​
As an experienced mental health OT as well as a person deeply transformed and energized by training, tuning into, and TRUSTING my own intuition, I help you translate the language of your heart into practical, small daily “doing” that have the power to make profound differences in your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. ​
Humans often experience a huge gap between knowing and embodying information that can help them. It is my purpose to help you save time bridging this gap.
​​
In working together, you’ll experience the magic of your own unique journey. My goal is to help you live a life that’s more attuned to your spirit and purpose!!​​​

With deep gratitude and joy,
Caitlin
What Intuitive Guidance Sessions With Caitlin Might Look Like
1
Intention
First, I would typically have you get clear on an intention (or bring a dream if we are doing dream work that you feel you need help with. If it is our first time meeting, I would suggest to start small, with an intention that is less emotionally charged to begin to practice intuition in a place that is a bit clearer.
2
Getting Quiet and Tuning In- A Process
Next I would typically guide you to a safe and quiet place within yourself and take you through a somatic or imagery process to reveal inner wisdom. The intuition could come in the form of an image, a knowing, an emotional release, a bodily feeling/sensation, or many other forms.
3
Ground the Insight
Last, we would begin to ground the insight that has come. We would discuss ways to impliment your intuition into your life in a manageable and meaningful way that will address the intention directly or indirectly, helping you embody parts of yourself necessary to meet the needs of your intention.
