Allow Me to Help You Discover the Why Behind Your Revival

Meet Averie Thayer, OTD, OTR/L

I earned my Bachelor’s in Kinesiology from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Belmont University in Nashville.

My clinical experience spans:

  • Orthopedic rehab

  • Neurological conditions

  • Geriatric and memory care

  • Pediatric and hand therapy

But after years in traditional healthcare settings, I saw the limitations of working within insurance rules and productivity quotas. I knew people needed more personalized, holistic care, and I was ready to deliver it.

That’s why I founded Living Revived Therapy.

I also offer equine-assisted therapy (hippotherapy), blending movement and animal connection for profound healing.

My Philosophy

You are not broken. Your body wants to heal—it just needs the right support.

Therapy should feel natural, hopeful, and tailored to the life you live. We’ll explore your routines, habits, environment, and values to create meaningful change.

Nature, movement, and self-awareness are the heart of my care model. I want to help you truly Live Revived.

Let’s get started

If anything here resonates, I’d love to meet you. Let’s talk about what’s possible for your health and future.

More About Me

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me in the garden, hanging out with my animals, or cooking with my husband, Cody. We live in Old Hickory, TN, and love being part of our local community.

If you’re ready for therapy that feels like it was designed just for you, you’re in the right place.
