Based in the Perth Hills near Lake Leschenaultia. NDIS-friendly (self & plan managed). I qualified as an Occupational Therapist in the UK and bring over 30 years of experience supporting individuals and families across the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. My career has taken me through disability services for children and adults, aged care, pain management, and mental health. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the many ways people adapt, heal, and find meaning through life’s challenges. My own life journey, including the transitions of motherhood, grandmotherhood, and the natural shifts that come with ageing, has shaped my interest in more holistic, body-based approaches to wellbeing. This personal insight led me to explore Equine Assisted Therapy, where I now offer a gentle, nature-based space for people to explore emotions, communication, and self-regulation. I also collaborate with the local Horsepower organisation to provide Equine Therapy for individuals of all ages, offering people the opportunity to connect with horses in a meaningful way, without the need to ride. Alongside my equine work, I’ve completed training in somatic bodywork. I integrate these skills into my practice to help people reconnect with their bodies, develop self-regulation, and build a sense of safety and calm through breath and movement. Special interests
I’m passionate about supporting the health and wellbeing of women aged 60 and over, recognising the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that often accompany this stage of life. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals living with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia, and Chronic Fatigue, offering compassionate, steady guidance for those navigating long-term conditions. I’m a registered member of AHPRA. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my horses, caring for them, training, riding, and enjoying the quiet wisdom they bring to my life.
