Perdita Elliott
About
Perdita graduated from the University of British Columbia with her Masters in Occupational Therapy and subsequently worked in the greater Vancouver area before moving back to her home on Vancouver Island. She is passionate about working with clients to achieve their individual goals and engage in valued activities.
Perdita has worked with clients with a wide range of conditions including both mental health and physical well-being. These include musculoskeletal/orthopaedic injuries, persistent pain, mental health diagnoses, post cancer, long COVID, concussion, and mixed diagnoses. She has a particular passion for helping clients living with symptoms of both physical and mental health conditions, understanding that they can significantly impact one another. Perdita has worked with clients following injuries at work, motor vehicle accidents, clients with long term or chronic conditions, as well as veterans transitioning into civilian lives and roles.
On the weekend Perdita can be found hiking and camping or spending time with her animals including horses, her dog, cat and her sheep “Max”. She enjoys being competitive in her horseback riding as well as taking it slow with a good book or a meal with friends.
