Jill Davidson, B.Sc.O.T.(c)

Fun and kids has been Jill’s career passion for over 20 years.  As a Canadian trained Pediatric Occupational Therapist Jill incorporates fun, play, risk, energy and the outdoors as she helps her clients and their families achieve skill development and life balance.  Whether it be individual sessions, small groups, camps or educational presentations, Jill makes it fun and engaging.

Locally she has worked in Dept. of Education, Dept. of Health and KEMH.  In 2015, she returned to her private practice, Function Junction, which was initially started in 2003.

Jill is thankful for her two wonderful children and her husband, who have been supportive throughout her Bermuda journey.  They are also willing participants for all of Jill’s new therapy tricks!
