Liat Gafni-Lachter, OTD, PhD
Welcome
​
Hello, I’m Liat! I’m an occupational therapist, educator, and mentor with more than 20 years of experience across Israel, the United States, Singapore, and Switzerland. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of guiding children, families, students, and professionals through meaningful transitions—always with the belief that growth happens when passion, knowledge, and purpose come together.

My Philosophy
For me, mentoring starts with connection — a shared spark of curiosity and purpose.
It’s been one of the greatest gifts of my life, both as a mentor and as someone who’s been mentored.
I meet each person where they are, and together, we turn insight into action, knowledge into purpose, and ideas into impact.
Growth happens when we’re supported and brave enough to take the next step — and I’d love to take that step with you.
Let's connect
I’d love to learn about your professional dreams and explore how we can work together to make them a reality.
