Abigail Waisner

OTD, OTR/L

I recently graduated from the University of the Pacific with a degree in Occupational Therapy and am thrilled to be joining the GHS team! I’ve been familiar with GHS for many years and had the privilege of completing my fieldwork here.

Before OT school, I studied Kinesiology at Azusa Pacific University, where I discovered the power of the mind-body connection. That foundation inspired me to pursue occupational therapy and fuels my passion for supporting holistic wellness.

I’m especially passionate about using play as a meaningful tool to help individuals develop skills that support growth throughout life. I believe in lifelong learning and am excited to continue expanding my knowledge to provide the highest quality care to the families I work with.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors—whether hiking, walking on the beach, or simply enjoying the sunshine. I also love dancing, singing, and reading. These personal interests help me stay connected to the values of creativity, balance, and joy—elements I strive to bring into every aspect of my practice.
