Lauren Nava

’ve worked as a Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant since 2008, helping children build confidence, independence, and joy through creative therapeutic approaches.

My passion extends beyond the clinic—I’m also a chronic pain advocate and blogger. After surviving a life-altering accident in 2013, I’ve turned my experiences into a platform, Spoonin’ Lo, where I share honest stories, resources, and encouragement for others living with invisible illnesses.

Specialties & Strengths:

• Pediatric OT care, sensory strategies, and adaptive support
• Advocacy and storytelling to raise awareness about chronic illness
• Creative wellness practices like yoga, journaling, and therapeutic play

I’m known for being resilient, empathetic, and inspiring—someone who blends professional expertise with lived experience to uplift others. My goal is to grow a supportive community where survivors, spoonies, and caregivers feel seen, heard, and valued.
