I have been practicing Occupational Therapy in Seattle for 29 years. I have always had a natural affinity for health, musculoskeletal anatomy, and wellness through a holistic approach. Drawing from both worlds of conventional western medicine and complimentary approaches, I integrate them both into treatment. 

I'm so proud to have received state recognition for the Best Practice Award; what an honor!

I guide patients through their injury process and help them to understand how their recovery may be impacted by nutrition, exercise, stress, awareness of one’s breath and overall life satisfaction.  I graduated from University of Washington’s Occupational Therapy program in 1991 and returned to UW in 1999 to complete an Advanced Master’s of Occupational Therapy with an emphasis in Upper Extremity Cumulative Trauma in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury.  I went on to complete a 4 year Structural Medicine training through the Institute of Structural Medicine, which has positively impacted how I view the human structure and anatomy.  


​I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to live and work in Nepal and Japan, and am intrigued by diversity of all sorts, be it cultural, ethnic, socioeconomic, etc.. Much of my professional career has been at Harborview Medical Center, Seattle’s Level I Trauma Hospital, where a unique diversity thrives. I enjoy teaching and public speaking at the state, national and international level and am passionate about educating our patient and provider community  about health and well being. I enjoy organic gardening, mountaineering, skiing, cycling, holistic nutrition, and exploring the arts and the Pacific Northwest’s alpine wilderness.

​
Reiki Master since 2007

​I am a 1996 graduate of University of WA's Occupational Therapy Program. Practice areas have included-in-patient rehabilitation for both physical and psychological disabilities, orthopedics, neurology, cardiology, and chronic pain. I have practiced in a variety of settings from local hospitals to skilled nursing facilities to out-patient clinics. I also developed a home practice where I saw clients for stress management and relaxation techniques. Community outreach has included creating and  teaching "Well Body Mechanics to New Moms" classes, as well as providing Reiki to women in Adult Family Homes on hospice.

My philosophy as a therapist is based in bridging western and eastern medicine practices in order to treat the whole person. 22 years of experience as a therapist has informed my blended perspective. Our emotions, how we think, what we eat, and how we move in our bodies all play crucial roles in how we feel. It is my goal to help clients identify areas that are out of balance to develop improved self-care routines at home to best support health, function, and well being.
​
Postural assessment with an emphasis on fascia and its role in spinal alignment, our nervous system (specifically our sympathetic and parasympathetic branches), and our emotions are all key players in overall health and balance in our bodies. Guiding clients through touch, movement, and dialogue helps facilitate improved outcomes in recovery from various injuries.

My husband and I have lived in the Seattle area for 31 years and enjoy raising our 2 boys in the PNW. Some favorite activities include gardening, hiking, and camping with our family. I have a background in dance, both Ballet and Modern, and have practiced yoga for 30+ years. Dancing, listening music, and supporting local art are also passions of mine. A true nature lover, I seek the outdoors any chance I can get, for paddle boarding in the summer and skiing in the winter.

Emily Sannan

M.S. OTR/L:  Master's of Occupational Therapy
​Pediatric & Adult Specialist
PYT: Professional Yoga Therapist (c)
Certified Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a board certified Occupational Therapist, professional yoga therapist, wellness enthusiast, and mother of two young children.

I earned my bachelor's degree in kinesiology and public health from the University of Idaho while competing as a division 1 triple jumper. After several years of feeding my soul teaching yoga on three continents, I discovered my calling to become an Occupational Therapist. I  graduated with a Masters from Midwestern University in 2012. My experience includes acute care as well as skilled nursing as a therapist and rehab director specializing treatment of neurological disorders, cardiovascular impairments as well as a variety of orthopedic conditions. 
"I have advanced training in pelvic floor dysfunction where my goal is to empower women to listen to the wisdom of their bodies and facilitate optimal healing as a partnership."
​
 
Life is complex.  My vision is to help children and adults consciously navigate through pain, trauma, stress, and sensory processing challenges, empowering them to take control and live their best life. Through mindfully-based sensory integration, activity analysis and prescription, nutrition, as well as meditation; whole body wellness is my goal to maximize recovery of acute trauma as well as aid in management of chronic conditions.

As a mom of two, my post graduate teachers have been my children. I have learned first hand that mindful children begin with mindful mamas. Whether it be navigating a child with special needs, or simply trying to survive the energy and high demands of every child; parenting is challenging and stressful to say the least. Through medical therapeutic yoga combined with lifestyle medicine, my intention is to create an overall holistic plan for you and/or your child to feel good in the body, mind and spirit.

My husband and I recently moved back to the PNW after the birth of our second child to be closer to family, which has been an absolute joy. In my free time I enjoy taking urban family hikes, dancing with my kiddos in our living room, and planning our next travel adventure, and of course listening to audio books :) ​

M.S. OTR/L:  Master's of Occupational Therapy
Upper Extremity Specialist
Professional Pilates Instructor
​
My passion lies in holistic healthcare. I believe this provides the greatest opportunity for healing and growth. As a board certified Occupational Therapist, professional Pilates instructor, and former Licensed Massage Therapist (LMP), I combine my diverse skill set to help people overcome a wide variety of health-related barriers and challenges.

Optimal health is a journey which takes maintenance. Maintenance of body, mind and spirit.  My goal is to help individuals maximize their ability to participate in activities that are most important to them. By creating space for the body to heal, tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system, and incorporating mindfulness, the body can begin to shift toward positive changes and balance.

I earned my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Puget Sound in 2008 after a long journey of self discovery, studying the body, interest in holistic health, movement, and healing. I began my early career as a licensed massage therapist where I not only gained my foundation in Anatomy, Physiology and Kinesiology, I also learned about the importance of fascia related to pain and healing.

As an Occupational Therapist, I have worked in a variety of settings and practice areas including skilled nursing facilities, acute care, orthopedics, cardiac rehabilitation, physical disabilities, and neurological rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have continued to take a variety of complimentary healing courses including myofascial release techniques, breath work, cupping, Reiki, yoga and meditation. In addition, my professional Pilates training has enhanced my focus on posture, proper body mechanics and alignment as well as finding the balance between strength and flexibility.
​

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, hiking, backpacking and traveling the world in search of new inspiration, experiences and knowledge.

Nancy Mattheiss


​STOTT Certified Pilates Instructor
With an upbeat and accomplished teaching style, I deliver client appropriate Pilates training to a diverse group of people.  Regardless of age, shape, or physical ability, they are united in their desire to optimize flexibility, strength, range of motion and increased vitality.
​

I believe there are many profound methods that contribute to healthy body mechanics. I explore and draw inspiration to improve my work through anatomy and kinesiology classes, advanced teacher trainings, and working in conjunction with physical and occupational therapists.  The depth and breadth of my instruction is further enhanced by Heller work, Feldenkrais, facial release techniques, Bosu balance work, Barre classes, meditation, and yoga.

Certified in 2005 through STOTT Pilates, I have a special affinity for those motivated to recover range of motion and strength due to lasting pain, illness or surgery, having overcome chronic back pain and sciatica myself.
      

Personally, renewal and joy is found through many types of movement, including samba dance, tennis, cross country skiing, and hiking above the treeline. Using Pilates as the springboard, I intend to continue an active, engaged lifestyle for a very long while.

​RH, B.Sc: Registered Herbalist
RYT: Registered Yoga Teacher

Yoga Instructor, Clinical Herbal Consultant B.Sc.
My passion for supporting others led me to obtain training in Herbal Medicine through a B.Sc program at Bastyr University, as well as a Yoga Teacher Certification; which included a year-long internship with my teacher and a 200 hour intensive with Tim Miller a Senior Ashtanga Teacher. I have studied, practiced, and trained through the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga. Through this practice of breath and movement,  I strive to reawaken my student's relationship with correct posture inside of movement. Without going beyond what each individual body is capable of we integrate movement that opens one's body to deeper levels of strength and flexibility. In yoga sessions the practitioner and I have the opportunity to collaborate on developing a practice that helps the practitioner to live more fully embodied. I remain in gratitude for all this practice has offered my life and find great joy in sharing what I have learned. Alongside yoga I offer individual Herbal Medicine Consultations to support the bodies tissue health and to facilitate greater vitality in the body. I formulated the Muscle Rubs and Body Oil for Holistic Orthopedic, and it brings me great joy to offer Herbal Medicine.
