Jolene Kattenberg Occupational Therapist

A little bit about me...

I live with my wonderful husband Wayne, my 3 amazing children Justin, Holly and Lucas, and my two dogs, Kib (14 year old border collie) and Kelso The Therapy Dog (3 year old border collie). I am much happier when I am outdoors but also love sitting with a cup of tea while I watch a good movie. Like many of us, my goal in life is to find balance. I think I am nearly there...sometimes...mostly!

I have a degree in Applied Science - Applied Psychology from the University of Southern Qld (1995) and a degree in Applied Science - Occupational Therapy from the University of Western Sydney (1998). I have been lucky enough to work in acute and long term mental health, oncology, orthopaedics and intensive care and found my passion for working with children after a rotation into acute paediatric burns and child development services. It has now been nearly 12 years working in my own small private practice, supporting children and families as they navigate their way through life. I love my work! I am proud to provide a therapy service with a lot of heart, a service that is very personalised, genuine and focused on individual goals and overall wellbeing. I feel so thankful to have met so many amazing children over the years and hope they know how much joy they bring to my day.
