about L&L COnsulting

Laura Kalef and Lydia Beck are Occupational Therapists passionate about improving mental health in the workplace. Occupational therapists (OTs) are regulated health care professionals who work with individuals and organizations to enable engagement in meaningful, purposeful lives. OTs have a functional, holistic lens, enabling occupations by considering the individual (physical and mental health components, roles, responsibilities, etc), the tasks and roles they wish to complete, and the physical and social environment in which they live and work.

L&L Consulting believes the health and wellness of employees and the work environment are affected by a variety of interacting factors. Workplace productivity and engagement are influenced by the workplace culture, perceived levels of support, the physical work space, and individual physical and mental health.
