Occupational therapy that meets you As A whole Person.
About aven
Aven Therapy was created for people who have spent a long time feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or expected to keep functioning as if nothing is wrong.
Here, the work moves at the pace of your nervous system: slow enough to feel safe, steady enough to create change, and practical enough to support your daily life.
Aven offers somatic, nervous system–centred occupational therapy for adults navigating burnout, neurodivergence, trauma, chronic pain, postpartum adjustment, menopause, return to work, and other major life transitions.
Instead of adding more pressure to an already overloaded system, the work focuses on regulation, capacity, connection, and sustainable daily function.
Aven is a space where you don’t have to perform being okay.
A space to breathe.
A space to feel understood.
A space to begin again.
About Ayisha
Ayisha Lewthwaite is a registered occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting adults across mental health, trauma, neurodivergence, chronic pain, burnout, perinatal health, and major life transitions.
Her work is trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, anti-oppressive, and grounded in the belief that healing has to consider the whole person: body, mind, environment, relationships, responsibilities, and lived experience.
Ayisha integrates occupational therapy frameworks with somatic awareness, sensory-based support, nervous system regulation, and practical strategies for daily life. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of each client’s pace and capacity.
Through Aven Therapy, Ayisha offers 1:1 support, functional capacity assessments, and return-to-work planning. She also works at Moss Postpartum House, supporting community-based care for women and families.
