Chrystal Wood, MOTR/L

Tools 2 Thrive is an occupational therapy practice in Los Lunas, New Mexico, rooted in an idea that first took shape in Albuquerque’s South Valley: to help others through compassionate care, professional expertise, and innovative approaches.

I’m Chrystal Wood, a proud Chicana born and raised in Albuquerque’s South Valley. My hardworking parents instilled in me a commitment to helping others and encouraged me to pursue educational opportunities they hadn’t had themselves. Their support led me to UNM, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in occupational therapy. Since 2011, I’ve worked as an occupational therapist in schools and outpatient pediatric settings, primarily supporting children through sensory and play-based therapies.

Outside of work, I’m a wife and mom of three who enjoys camping, fishing, and serving as the family chauffeur for my kids’ busy schedules of sports and clubs. I love working with children and look forward to getting to know you and your family to explore whether we’re a good fit for your child’s needs.
