About me

I am a paediatric Occupational Therapist, originally trained in New Zealand before moving to Australia, where I completed additional training in child development, movement-based approaches, and primitive reflex integration. My training incorporated sensory integration principles and shaped my specialist interests in sensory integration, child development, movement, and reflex integration.

Since relocating to the UK, I have worked across NHS services and specialist SEN schools as part of multidisciplinary teams, supporting neurodivergent children and young people alongside their families, educators, and wider support networks.

My approach is warm, creative, and relationship focused. I enjoy working closely with children and their caregivers, recognising the important role that parents and carers play in supporting development, regulation, and wellbeing.
