Maggie Dowd, Occupational Therapist
I was born in Calgary, but have now lived in 7 cities! Though I have spent the most amount of time in Airdrie, AB.
I completed my Masters in Occupational Therapy at the University of Western Ontario in July 2025. Throughout my time in school, I was fortunate enough to have two placements in pediatrics which provided me with a wealth of experiences and has grown my passion for working in this area! I strive to take a family-centered and collaborative approach to help support and empower the children and families I work with.
When I am not at work, you might find me working at my grandparents acreage, sewing or crocheting, spending time outside, and getting cozy with a book.
