Testimonials

We listen to our client’s needs.
Here’s what they have to say about us.

“Lina Maria and Arvinder were incredible! They accommodated me when needed and they were so welcoming and warm. The information in Learn to Thrive is different than other post-concussion syndrome groups I’ve done which I’m so grateful for! All info was so useful and everything is easy to apply to everyday life.”
R.B.
“Learn to Thrive helped me to learn and remember how to focus on the positive aspects of my life instead of all that I have lost as a result of post-concussion syndrome. Arvinder and Lina are absolutely the kindest and most supportive leaders who are highly skilled in what they do. I am so fortunate to have been able to participate in this program and am very grateful for all of the positivity it has brought back to my life!”
S.V.
"I am amazed at how much I am learning, how much better I am feeling and how much I am enjoying my Learn to Thrive sessions…. These [strategies] are all integrated and reinforced with breakout groups, interesting weekly handouts, tasks, and even follow up e-mails offering interesting articles and video clips to all. I highly recommend the Learn to Thrive program."
S.A.T
“I'm really grateful that I did this program. It was really important for me because I felt less alone in my situation. It's hard when people in my life are disbelieving or misunderstanding what I'm dealing with. But in this program, I felt comfortable knowing that there are other people with similar problems. It was also really helpful to use the strategies that were given and to listen to the meditations each week.”

“Working at PiOT has allowed me to expand my knowledge base and given me opportunities to work with a variety of client populations and referral sources. I love supporting my clients through their recovery journey and assisting them to reach their goals. PiOT is a small-to-mid-size boutique OT company that truly cares about its therapists and treats them like family.”
