About Me

Over the past 22 years I have been honoured to work with clients and their families helping them to achieve their personal daily living goals. I love seeing the freedom and happiness that my recommendations can bring to people's lives. I am now very excited to offer my OT services as a private clinician in addition to working part-time at a large accredited metropolitan health facility.

My service is client-centred and therefore tailored to your individual circumstances. You can also be guaranteed that it will be me providing the service as this is my own business. I don't outsource my clients. I love working with clients from all social and cultural backgrounds- everyone has unique differences that make our community so wonderfully diverse.

My family consists of 2 little guys and 1 big guy and we love living on the Mornington Peninsula. You will find us at the beach, cafes, riding our bikes or bushwalking. We are so lucky to live here!

I would be honored to work with you and your family to assist you to live a meaningful life in your own home.
