our journey
Live Meaningfully OT was founded by Jaycee Volkmann, a licensed Occupational Therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. After years of working in various settings, she recognized the need for personalized, in-home therapy that focused on empowering individuals to live independently. It is with this vision that Live Meaningfully OT was born.
Education and biography
I am a dedicated occupational therapist with a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Boston University, where I also published research focused on stroke rehabilitation and mental health. With over three years of experience in a fast-paced Level I Trauma Center at Albany Medical Center, my clinical expertise has allowed me to develop advanced skills in managing complex cases and delivering compassionate, individualized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
In 2021, I earned certification through the American Institute of Balance in Largo, FL, specializing in vestibular rehabilitation to address dysfunctions such as BPPV. I am passionate about empowering adults to regain their independence with activities of daily living (ADLs), helping them achieve meaningful improvements in their quality of life.
Beyond clinical practice, I have shared my expertise as an adjunct professor in neuroscience at Russell Sage College, fostering the next generation of healthcare professionals. My approach is patient-centered and purpose-driven, combining advanced knowledge with genuine care to support each individual on their journey to independence and wellness.
