About Me

Over the past 22 years I have been honored 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 a fluffy dog called Charlie! 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.
