Who is Amanda Amalfi

My name is Amanda Amalfi, and I have been working as an Occupational Therapist since 2023. I always had the desire to help people thus I was drawn to the field of Occupational Therapy, and it brings me great joy to help my client’s regain function from either a mental health, cognitive or physical condition affecting their overall functioning in their meaningful activities. I am passionate about taking a holistic client centered approach in my treatment sessions with clients.   In my free time, I enjoy hiking, travelling and caring for animals.

Training and professional skills

I received my bachelor’s in kinesiology from McGill in 2019 and afterwards obtained my master’s in Occupational Therapy from McGill in 2023. I have experience working with a diverse population consisting of musculoskeletal conditions with files ranging from CNESST, SAAQ and private referrals. I am  also passionate about working with mental health clients, either privately or on long term and short-term disability with the goal of returning to work and or other meaningful occupations.
