Happy Birthday to us! How far we have come 🩷
Five years.
Five years of walking alongside people and families.
Five years of seeing children, teenagers, young adults and adults grow in confidence and capacity.
Five years of learning, adapting, laughing, problem solving and celebrating every tiny step, every success.
Being there for the good moments and the hardest of moments.
Today is HWOT’s fifth birthday.
When Helen first started this practice, she imagined a space where individuals felt safe, where therapy felt like collaboration rather than pressure, and where clinicians were encouraged to be creative and deeply human in the way they work. What has grown from that vision is more than just a practice. It has become a community.
To every person and every family who has welcomed us into their homes, schools, workplaces and lives, thank you. Your trust in us is never taken for granted.
To the remarkable children, teens, young adults and adults we support, thank you for teaching us courage, resilience and joy. You remind us daily that progress is not linear, and that every small win matters. You remind us how to be brave.
To every single one of our past and present staff, thank you for the heart and absolute dedication you bring and brought to your work. Helen Walker OT exists because of the passion and care you show every day, and we are forever thankful.
To our allied health colleagues, support coordinators, teachers, case managers, childcare, doctors, schools, workplaces, community organisations and professional partners - thank you all for the collaboration, the referrals, the connections, the shared ideas, the support in the successes and the stresses....and the problem solving together. We are grateful for the relationships and the knowledge we exchange with you.
Five years ago this was just an idea on a page. And Helen struggling for an organisation name ☺️.
Today it is a community woven together by trust, partnership and care.
Thank you for being part of the HWOT story!
Here’s to more walking alongside you to help you Do, Be, Become and Belong. 🩷🎂🌈
