MY STORY
How I Began and Where I’m Headed
Muskoka Occupational Therapy was born out of a need to meet the evolving needs of our changing community. My name is Caryn Farnsworth. I am a registered occupational therapist with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario since 2019. I am a "Muskokan" born and raised in Huntsville ON. I completed my honours undergraduate degree at the University of Ottawa in Human Kinetics Cum Laude with a minor in Health Science. From there I attended McMaster University completing my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy.
To meet the needs of my clients I have completed continuing education in seating and mobility as well as specific courses related to cognition, pressure management and care planning. Continuing to build my professional portfolio is an ongoing passion. I understand the specific needs and supports of individuals in the Muskoka area. Let me help you meet your goals!
