Caitlin Bender, OTR/L

I started working at a Rock Steady Boxing gym in January of 2023 with the original idea of working in a more "traditional" OT setting, however during my time at Rock Steady Boxing I found myself moved by the passion and dedication within the Parkinson's Community, and saw a deep need for further occupational therapy services for this population. So I ended up scrapping my original plan and diving head first into a private practice plan centered around using functional based movement patterns to slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease and improve your overall well-being by prioritizing your goals. With that New Dawn Occupational Therapy came to be, with the hopes of providing the skills, resources, and support needed to people with Parkinson's Disease so that they can have the confidence to face each new day!
