About Me
I am a specialist paediatric Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience within the field of Occupational Therapy. Over my years of clinical practice, I have worked within both country and metropolitan areas within South Australia. I am a DIR Floortime certified practitioner and this, along with my clinical experience, has allowed me to develop a greater understanding of Sensory Profiles and regulation, including emotional regulation.
I support parents and therapists to not only develop their skills but to also develop their understanding of how their own or their child’s Sensory Profile and regulation capacity can affect how they may interact with those around them or their environment. I am passionate about equipping parents and therapists with the knowledge and skills to best support the children in their lives in a confident and sustainable way.
​
Whether you are a parent, therapist, or other professional I look forward to connecting with you.

Professional Supervision and Coaching
The service allows therapists to further their skills both clinically, reflectively, and administratively. By having access to this support this reduces the likelihood of burnout for therapists.
Through a virtual platform, therapists may share videos of their work and receive guidance and feedback to enhance their skills in connecting with and supporting clients and families.
​
I am experienced in supervising and coaching therapists. I am passionate about empowering therapists to support the families they work with as a whole. This is by developing the therapist's overall clinical skills, as well as their coaching and support skills for families.
Understanding Sensory Profiles
This service provides families with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of how their and their child's sensory processing preferences may clash or support one another. Through gathering information and education families are equipped with the knowledge to understand their own sensory profile and their child's sensory profile ​and how they may impact one another.
Families are provided with a summary of their own and their child's sensory profile including key responses they or their child may have to different sensory inputs. This summary includes practical strategies to support the families connection with their child by being aware of their child's sensory needs and regulation, while also being aware of their own sensory needs and regulation.

Parent Coaching and Support
I have many years of experience in coaching and supporting families in developing their skills to be able to connect with and interact with their children, whilst navigating developmental challenges. I am passionate about guiding parents and caregivers through the process of understanding their child’s and their own unique needs.
I am a DIR Floortime certified practitioner and I work to support families to develop a greater understanding of themselves as well as their children. As families develop their awareness of what is supportive for themselves, as well as their child, they are then able to more deeply understand how to support their child in the most sustainable way possible.
