Recorded in early 2025, we learn about Norma Findlay's fascinating work in the medico-legal field and her passion for postural management.

“I have yet to find another profession that’s truly this holistic.” 💬

In this powerful moment from The Martina Tierney Podcast, Norma Jane Findlay reflects on the unique and vital role of Occupational Therapists — especially when it comes to understanding the whole person.

From home adaptations to energy conservation, from 24-hour care needs to what really brings joy and meaning to someone’s life — OTs go beyond tasks.

They ask:

🧠 “How can we help you preserve energy… so you still have some left for the things that matter most?”

💡 It's not just about what you can do, but how you live well doing it.

Look out for the Bonus Episode 6, Part 1 which is what happened when the cameras stopped rolling... or so they thought!

This special conversation between Martina and guest Norma, was after they had finished recording their podcast episode in early 2025. They both thought the cameras and mics had stopped filming and had a really relaxed chat.

They talked openly about their special connection, about vibrational energy and what they believe happens after a loved one passes from this life.

There were goosebump moments and tears of joy! We felt the conversation was too insightful not to publish, so we're really grateful to both of them for agreeing to share this private chat.
