Do. Be. Become.
Occupational Therapy
We're so glad you're here.
'Occupation’ refers to any activity that occupies your time; the tasks that you need to do like showering, dressing and eating, as well as the things you want to do, like hobbies, play and socialising.
We're here to support children, young people and adults to DO, BE and BECOME anything they desire.

A little bit about the founder
Hey! I'm Alex.
I'm a registered Occupational Therapist (OT) who has been working primarily with children and youth since graduating in 2015.
I have held roles in non-for-profit, education, government and private sectors, across a range of settings including clinic, hospital, community, home, child care, school and education settings.
I've worked with children and young people living with a variety of conditions and disabilities, including vision impairment, deaf or hard of hearing, neurodivergence (e.g. Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia), intellectual disability, physical disability, chromosomal and neurological conditions.
I'm most passionate about working in a child’s 'natural' environments (vs a clinic) and using everyday activities as learning opportunities to increase development.
I utilise a family-centred approach that partners with families and the entire team around my client to achieve goals.
