Bio

Marika is a pediatric OT living in Oakland, California. She started Bearfoot OT in 2019, which offers nature-based pediatric OT that combines expert guidance with transformational sessions to unlock children’s full potential. Bearfoot provides individual OT services, small groups and therapeutic summer camps and serves families in the Bay Area with our three outdoor OT sites.  Our approach eliminates indefinite therapy by automatically including all the pieces needed for massive results in a defined timeframe. We’re talking dynamic outdoor sessions, parent accountability & communication, and child empowerment. Our program is a launchpad into a different life at home and school and we do it through innovative therapy packages.  Marika is also obsessed with helping other OT practices break out of the status quo of the pay-per-session model and has been dubbed the Ethical Package Pricing Queen 👑.
