Who
we are

Hi, I’m Heidi Baker, an Occupational Therapist and the founder of The Play Patch Occupational Therapy. I’m passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where children feel seen, heard, and valued. My approach is grounded in collaborative, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming care—honouring each child’s unique strengths and needs.

At The Play Patch, I believe that children shouldn’t have to change who they are to succeed. Instead, I work alongside families, educators, and support teams to create environments that meet children where they are. Whether it's building self-regulation skills, supporting sensory needs, or developing functional “school skills,” our therapy is tailored to each child and delivered with warmth, empathy, and respect.

Together, we’ll focus on meaningful engagement in everyday activities—helping your child thrive through purposeful play, connection, and positive support.
