Shawna Worden - Occupational Therapist

Shawna Worden is a native Calgarian and a registered Occupational Therapist with more than 18 years of experience working with children and families in Calgary and surrounding areas. She has devoted her entire career to working in educational settings and providing in-home family support to children and families.

Shawna has become a proud leader in the OT community and strives for collaboration and the highest standard of care in all aspects of her practice and team. With a passion for holistic therapy, Shawna’s goal in working with children and families is for them to feel supported at whatever age and stage they are at, continuing to blossom into the best versions of themselves.

Over the course of her career, Shawna has continued to learn and grow in her expertise and practice to include a variety of specialties such as fine motor delays, handwriting, ADHD, ASD, sensory processing differences, self-regulation, visual processing delays and executive functioning. She has a passion for nervous system regulation and has completed her certification the Safe and Sound Protocol focusing on using a powerful listening therapy.

As a mother to a young child with sensory differences, Shawna has developed a passion for empowering and educating parents about their child’s unique strengths and differences, so they can see their child through “softer eyes”. Shawna also assists parents to navigate the school system and to learn how to advocate for their child, especially those with neurodivergent needs.

When Shawna isn’t working, she enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and their dog Roxy. She also has a special interest in health and nutrition and stays active with Yoga/Pilates, playing sports, travelling, and spending time outdoors in nature with friends and family.

Shawna is a proud practitioner as part of the Synergea Family Health Centre team in Calgary’s NW Arbour Lake, not far from Crowfoot Centre.
