We are so happy to welcome OT Jessica Panizzon to the Helen Walker Occupational Therapy team!

Jessica brings a calm, caring, and genuinely client-centred approach to her work. She is passionate about supporting children and adults to participate meaningfully in everyday life - whether that’s at home, at school, or out in the community.

She loves working closely with clients, families, and support teams to create practical strategies that fit naturally into daily routines and real life.

With experience across paediatric, school, hospital, community, and mental health settings, Jessica supports clients of all ages and abilities always focusing on strengths, priorities, and what matters most to each individual. Her background in Psychology also reflects her strong commitment to mental health and holistic wellbeing.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys spending time with her husband and children and staying active. Early mornings at the gym and time outdoors hiking, kayaking, or at park runs help keep her feeling balanced and energised.

We are so excited to have Jessica on board and can’t wait for our clients and families to meet her!

🩷🩵🩵 Welcome, Jessica. We’re so glad you’re here!

As we move into the new year, and important changes and strengthening are made to Queensland Child Safety legislation, we would like to take this opportunity to re-affirm our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the children and young people we are privileged to work with.

At Helen Walker Occupational Therapy we are committed to providing a child-safe and child-friendly environment, where all children and young people are respected, valued, and protected from harm. We actively uphold the rights of children to feel safe and to be safe, to have a voice in decisions that affect them, and to access services that promote their wellbeing, development and strong sense of confidence.

We recognise and celebrate the rich diversity of cultures, language and traditions within our community including First Nations People, those with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTIQA+ and those with diverse abilities. At our core we aim to provide a safe, inclusive space for all -embracing equity and cultural safety. We hold zero tolerance for abuse, neglect, or exploitation.

We continue to uphold this level of care, duty and commitment to ALL clients who interact with our service, regardless of age. But welcome and actively support these changes by the Queensland Government in regard to the safety of children and young people.

Today we are celebrating a very special milestone at Helen Walker Occupational Therapy. One wonderful year with our much-loved Senior Social Worker Rebecca!

From the very beginning, Bec has brought a rare blend of wisdom, warmth and genuine care into our team. She has an incredible ability to meet people where they are at, to hold space in the hard moments and to gently guide individuals and families forward with strong support, dignity, compassion and hope.

Bec works across all stages of life and has a special gift for navigating complexity with calm, advocating with quiet strength and creating connection so that no one feels alone on their journey. Whether supporting clients, mentoring others or delivering education and training within our community her work is always thoughtful, holistic and deeply values-driven.

Happy 1 Year HWOT-aversary Bec!
Thank you for the heart you bring, the wisdom you share and the difference you make every single day. We are so grateful for this past year and so proud to have you as part of the HWOT family 🩵🩷💙

Sunscreen can be a surprisingly big barrier for some children and adults, especially for those with sensory sensitivities around texture, smell or how products feel on the skin.

While enjoying a little downtime at our recent spa day, Helen took a moment to try the Barefoot Labs WhipScreen sunscreen mousses and was genuinely impressed! The texture is light, airy and soft on the skin, absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy, white or sticky residue behind.

With the easy to spread and apply mousse-style, this is also a win for those with fine motor diffictulties and hand/upper limb pain/changes in function.

The scent options were another pleasant surprise. Whilst there are 4 scents in total, we chose 2 to sample. The Anti-Scent (unscented) version was light and not overpowering, with only the subtlest of smells. Helen’s favourite however was the Glazed Donut scent, which smells delicious and exactly like yummy sugared donuts 🍩🍭 .

From an OT perspective, products like this can make a real difference for clients who avoid sunscreen or experience distress when using this due to sensory sensitivies and preferences. When both the feel and smell are more tolerable, it can reduce distress, support independence and make everyday routines like sun safety much more achievable.

Sometimes small sensory-friendly changes can have a big impact!

Happy New Year 2026 🥳🥳🥳

As this year comes to a close, we would like to thank each and every one of our clients for your continued support. As a small business we strive to deliver personalised, supportive and high quality services - each referral, each return booking, each recommendation enables us to continue to do so. So thank you for supporting our business.

At the end of this season we find ourselves reflecting on the many small moments throughout the year that have added up to something truly meaningful.

The quiet wins. The brave first steps. The skills practised again and again. The confidence that grew where once there was hesitation. The clients, families and care teams who trusted us to walk alongside them. The children, teens, and adults who showed us every day what resilience really looks like.

Our style of therapy is never just about goals on paper. It is about participation, connection, and supporting people to engage in life in ways that feel authentic, empowering, and uniquely their own. This year reminded us how powerful that work can be when it is shaped by care, patience, and genuine relationships.

We are deeply grateful to our incredible team, who bring heart, creativity, and commitment into every session. To our clients and families, thank you for allowing us into your lives and for celebrating the progress, big and small, with us.

As we step into a new year, we do so with hope, intention, and a continued commitment to supporting meaningful lives.

Do. Be. Become. Belong. 🩷💚💙

Wishing our Helen Walker Occupational Therapy community a safe, gentle, and hopeful New Year! ✨💫

The past month has been filled with colour, creativity and so many moments of joy as our clients embraced the Christmas season alongside their OTs and Social Worker.

From baking and crafting to creating, learning and laughing together, every activity was about so much more than fun. These moments build confidence, independence, connection and pride. Watching our clients, both young and grown, try new things, practise skills and celebrate their own achievements has been incredibly special.

We are so proud of every single one of them, and just as importantly, they were proud of themselves. Thank you to our wonderful clients and families for letting us be part of these moments. It has been a beautiful way to close out the year.

Apologies for the glitter, paint, icing, sparkles, gems and glue we may have left in our wake 🧚‍♀️🎅⛄❄️🎁✨🌟

To the wonderful community around our clients, allied health colleagues, schools, childcare centres, kindies, educators, support coordinators, assistive technology providers and support teams.....Thank you for the collaboration, the shared care, the conversations, and the commitment to putting people first. The work we do is better because we do it together.

This year has been full of meaningful moments, growth, achievements, relationships and connection, learning, laughter, and heart. We are so grateful for every person who has been part of the Helen Walker OT family in 2025.

At Helen Walker Occupational Therapy, we do downtime a little differently.

Our team gives so much of themselves every day. They show up with care, patience and heart, supporting children and families through journeys that can be complex, emotional and deeply meaningful. The work isn’t always easy, but it is always done with genuine compassion and commitment.

So this year, our Christmas staff celebration was about slowing down, nurturing ourselves and filling our own cups. We were so grateful to spend a beautiful day together at Studio K Rainforest Spa, enjoying calming treatments, massage and nourishing, wholesome food that fed both our bodies and our souls.

It was a gentle reminder of how important it is to care for the carers, to pause, to breathe and to celebrate an incredible team who give so much to the people they support.

We are so thankful for each and every one of you. 🩷
