Meet our team
At Amazing Kids OT, we are proud to have a passionate and experienced team of Occupational Therapists who bring a wide range of clinical knowledge, specialised training, and diverse backgrounds to their work with children and families.
Our team includes therapists with decades of experience, as well as fresh, enthusiastic graduates who bring new energy and ideas. Collectively, our therapists have worked across a variety of settings, including private practice, early intervention, community health, special education, hospitals, and trauma-informed services, both in Australia and internationally.
We are committed to ongoing professional development and staying current with evidence-based practices. Our therapists have completed advanced training in areas such as:
Neuroaffirming approaches
Sensory Integration and Sensory Processing
Autism and ADHD supports
Emotional regulation and co-regulation
Trauma-informed practice
Feeding and toileting interventions
School readiness and handwriting
Play-based approaches
Interoception, Polyvagal Theory, DIR Floortime, and the Safe & Sound Protocol
We take a holistic and family-centred approach, working closely with parents, carers, educators, and the wider care team to ensure consistency and support across all environments. Our sessions are playful, engaging, and tailored to each child’s individual goals and strengths.
