OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Vanessa completed her Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) at Griffith University, Gold Coast, and is fully registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

As both a professional and a parent, Vanessa brings a unique perspective to her work. Raising two wonderful neurodivergent sons has provided her with invaluable insights and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals and families.

Vanessa combines her extensive professional expertise with personal experience to support individuals of all ages and their families in overcoming challenges and building essential daily living skills. She is deeply committed to a holistic, evidence-based, and family-centred approach in her work with clients.
Vanessa is available to work with clients in clinic, through home visits, and via telehealth, offering flexible and accessible therapy options to meet the needs of each family.

Outside of work, Vanessa enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, tackling escape rooms, reading, and keeping up with the ‘lingo’ that her boys use!
