Carlyn Neek
My focus is helping build vitality in my clients by
helping them know and live their values wholeheartedly.
My program is called
Rise and Live Fully.
Hi, I'm Carlyn Neek.
I developed the ACTivate Vitality: Rise and Live Fully program in 2019 and it has evolved to focus on empowering OT business owners to thrive without the hustle.
As an OT who has owned a successful private practice in Alberta since 2007, I know first hand how practitioners can find themselves stuck in patterns of overworking, self-doubt, uncertainty, and fear of failure.
The program was specifically designed to take people beyond coping to thriving.
It is an international online coaching program and community so you can work at your own pace, and be supported by a vibrant online community where you will find your people, celebrate wins and get support with challenges.
This is not an occupational therapy service. This is a coaching, mentorship, and empowerment program and community and I'd love to talk to you more about it.
I believe that participating in meaningful activity is the
cornerstone of building vital lives.
In order to do more of what matters, we need to reflect on our passions, magic moments and times of pain. In doing so, we gain insight into what we value and can build more intention, meaning and purpose into our lives.
This belief is at the core of
My Background
I am an occupational therapist with, nine years of university training, who has been in the field since 2003 and have continued developing skills in coaching, human motivation, neuroscience, and mental health. I am especially interested in the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in OT and personal development coaching.

Kind words from some of my coaching clients.
I knew the 1:1 support from Carlyn was going to be pure gold. She’s so amazing at what she does. She’s so easy to speak with. I was so motivated to do the work and join the group chat to get her wisdom

She listens so deeply. You feel so seen and so heard. Those are the connections I like in my life.

After Carlyn’s call I felt a quiet confidence that this was the right path and she’d step up to meet my needs whatever they may be as I went through the program.

I had no idea I could feel so connected to an online community. I’m considering flying to Canada to join the in-person retreat because these people “get me” and we’ve walked through so much life together.

There's no way in the world I would have pictured this it feels like a dream I don't mean that in like a Pollyanna sense I mean it doesn't sometimes feel real because I had no idea that this amount of choice was possible — of doing it differently.
