Meet Angela
Paediatric Occupational Therapist in Melbourne
My career spans over 18 years and I have worked in a variety of early intervention and school-based settings in both Australia and the United Kingdom.
I have experience in assessing children with a multitude of needs and working with families and educational teams focusing on sensory, relational and trauma informed care. I am passionate about the mind-body connection and bring a playful approach to my work. My goal is to facilitate this outcome through direct clinical support, education and advocacy.
In my spare time, I love taking my fun-loving, cheeky Labrador, Cooper for long walks. No one teaches me the gift of presence better than he does!
I welcome the opportunity for you to reach out and discuss how I can help. Please contact me via my contact page.
