Carla /
Occupational
Therapist
I’m Carla – founder of The OT Guru. I’m an occupational therapist who is truly passionate about helping people live the life they choose. I believe in showing up with heart, humour, and a whole lot of creativity. My vision is to create a safe and supportive space where people can flourish and reach their true potential. When I’m not wearing my OT hat, I’m a proud mum of two, wife to a very helpful husband, and dog mum to Cooper – our cheeky family sidekick.
Anna /
Occupational
Therapist
I was always extremely interested in the WHY behind what people do and as a result I loved the idea of occupational therapy where the care is holistic and all encompassing. I believe that everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life and OT is just one of many great tools to help people achieve that. I love playing outside with my daughter, riding and tending to my horses and reading.
Ana /
Occupational
Therapist
I truly believe that the pathway to great health is being able to do the things that matter most to you, finding purpose in your everyday life, making your own choices, and building real, meaningful connections with the people around you. That’s exactly what Occupational Therapy is about, and it’s why I love what I do, it helps people live life in a way that feels right for them.
Eloise /
Occupational Therapist
I am curious about people and the parts that make them whole. I value connection and learning of the pillars that uphold peoples' wellbeing; their mind, body, values, social and physical environments. Through partnership with those I work with, I hope to support people to engage in what they find meaningful. Being an Occupational Therapist has given me the platform to do this which is why I love it.
Esmari /
Allied Health Assistant
I am an occupational therapy student going into my second year of university. I chose to pursue occupational therapy because I believe in the importance of holistic healthcare and enjoy interacting with different people to help them maximise their ability to participate in the activities important to them. Some of my favourite hobbies include playing netball, baking, and kayaking.
Karla
Allied Health Assistant
I am a fourth-year student occupational therapist who works under the guidance of an occupational therapist. I believe that every person should have the opportunity to be independent and do the things they love and value. In my spare time, I enjoy reading mystery novels, baking, crocheting, embroidery, photography, and general arts and crafts.
Jaye /
Admin Officer
I hold an array of knowledge from life experiences and job roles. This included working in the early years education sector, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Assisting people has always been a passion and when my son was diagnosed with ASD the world of Occupational Therapy grabbed my heart. I love being part of a team who assist people from all walks of life reaching their individual goals.
