Our pediatric therapist
Rubika Subramaniam BSc. Bio, MScOT
Founder & Registered Occupational Therapist (RASP, CHCPBC, CAOT)
Rubika graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, initially setting her sights on a career in medicine. Driven by a deep interest in helping others, she pursued and completed her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Upon returning to Vancouver, Rubika divided her professional time between pediatric occupational therapy and supporting adults experiencing musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries, cognitive impairments such as concussion, and various psychosocial challenges.
Passionate about sensory integration, Rubika dedicates substantial personal time to deepening her expertise. She regularly immerses herself in the latest research findings, attends advanced courses, and actively participates in mentorship programs led by some of North America's foremost occupational therapists.
Her commitment to continuous learning and evidence-based practice inspired her to establish Purple Crayon Therapy, aiming to deliver an exceptional standard of personalized care to the children she supports.
When she's not working, Rubika enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends. She also loves relaxing with her playful puppy and cuddly cats, who keep her grounded and bring joy to her everyday life.
