About

Yogi Hive is a small business located in Strathroy Ontario, providing community support for mental health and wellness to adult residents in the Strathroy-Caradoc, London and surrounding area. Yogi Hive was created and operated by Occupational Therapist, Robin de Groot. Robin has practiced Occupational Therapy for over 15 years and has spent the majority of her career providing mental health services to individuals in hospitals and community settings. Robin is also a certified Yoga Teacher and has specialized training in Mindful, Trauma-Informed Yoga and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Throughout her career, Robin noted several challenges working within the health care system, one being appropriate support. Many clients had appeared to suffer for a prolonged period prior to getting the support they required, which may have included hospitalization, or struggled unnecessarily after being discharged from services that could not provide the ongoing care or support needed to maintain their ongoing wellness. As such, Robin saw the need to help increase the availability of costly, accessible and timely services in a community setting to help individuals cope with or prevent challenges and to connect them to available supports, resources and ongoing support as needed.
