About Jess Kane

I am thrilled to be making a career shift to be an occupational therapist, combining my passion and experience in client-centered care, working towards greater health equity, working with our body mind connections, and using systematic and intentional approaches to create meaningful, values driven change for people and organizations. I have over 20 years experience in nonprofit leadership focusing on compassionate health care delivery and health justice, financial management, program development, and strategic operations management. I\'ve been a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and dedicated student of yoga for over 20 years. And now I\'m enjoying the transition into the inspiring field of occupational therapy.
