Meet the Guest: Dr. Reina Olivera, DrOT, OTR/L

 Dr. Reina M. Olivera is an occupational therapist turned business and marketing coach who helps OT practitioners build profitable online businesses without burning out. After working in traditional settings, Reina saw the limitations of the 9–5 model and created a path that gives OTs more flexibility. She now coaches others to do the same. Reina specializes in guiding practitioners through identifying their ideal client, developing a results-oriented coaching offer, and learning how to market it in a way that feels authentic and doable, even for those who hate sales. Her mission is to show OTs what's really possible outside of the clinic and how to take the first practical steps to get there. Whether you're still in your full-time job or already running a private practice, Reina’s work helps you use your OT expertise in a whole new way.
