About Me

vanessa-holding-book

Hi! My name is Vanessa

I am a passionate and experienced paediatric occupational therapist dedicated to helping children thrive. Since completing my Occupational Therapy degree with Honours at Curtin University in 2019, I have been working closely with families to create tailored therapy plans to meet the unique needs of each child.

I have a special interest in working with kids with sensory issues and have undertaken additional training in sensory processing approaches to therapy. I also love working with kids to enable them to develop skills to regulate their emotions and empower them to have meaningful relationships with others. My goal is to provide compassionate and effective care that promotes growth and independence in every child.
