What we discuss:

Her many sources of inspiration to start and continue her private practice
How she arranged a smooth transition between her previous position to seeing her own clients
How she plans to diversify by drawing upon her other talents
Her experienced advice to therapists that are starting their journey
Jena’s take on an overwhelming obstacle for many new private practice owners

Guest: Hana Eichele, CCC-SLP
When I became a Registered and Licensed Pediatric Occupational Therapist, my passion for children, food, and healing became a reality. I started out in the school setting, which allowed me to see the value of providing services within the natural environment. As a special education team, we were able to collaborate on a consistent basis to determine and monitor effective interventions. I then transitioned into the clinical setting to increase my knowledge with medically complex individuals and to address feeding and eating challenges with an emphasis on the family unit. I’m a lifelong learner and have pursued additional training in a variety of programs.
