Jaimie is definitely a big Kid With Energy who Loves Activity! She has worked at 7 KWELA camps since 2014 and loved every single one... Her favourite part is both meeting new kids every year and welcoming back those who are lucky enough to attend KWELA more than once =) She enjoys the morning warm-up dance and Life Skills groups most of all!! When she's not excitedly planning for KWELA, Jaimie facilitates private OT sessions with children of all ages, as well as runs enrichment groups at pre-schools in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.

Hi! I am Elana. I’m a dynamic OT with 7+ years of clinical experience and a deep passion for working with children. I completed my studies at the University of the Free State (2017), followed by a research master’s degree (2021) focusing on paediatric therapy and Ayres Sensory Integration—areas close to my heart. In 2024, I completed my formal ASI certification, further equipping me to support children through sensory-informed intervention.

Currently, I manage a busy paediatric caseload at Kenridge Occupational Therapy, where I prioritise meaningful outcomes for the children and families I serve.
I believe that caring for others starts with caring for yourself. I strive to bring a grounded, balanced, and ethical approach to every part of my work—treating each client with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Movement, fun, and growth come together in our Sensory–Motor Group! 🌈

Through games, obstacle courses, and outdoor adventures, children learn how their bodies move, build coordination, and grow in confidence and self-control.

At Kwela Camp, our Arts & Crafts Group gives campers the chance to explore their creativity through colour, texture, and imagination!

Each activity helps children develop focus, patience, and confidence - while building friendships and discovering the joy of creating something uniquely their own. 🌈✨

Carla is an Occupational Therapist working in Durbanville and has been a part of KWELA since 2011 when she started as a student facilitator. KWELA helped her realise her passion for helping children develop and grow to reach their full potential. Since graduating, she has worked in Port Elizabeth where she worked in both a private practice and school setting, as well as assisting with a parent support group for parents with children who are differently-abled. In 2020 she returned to the Western Cape, where she has been working in a Sensory Integration Occupational Therapy practice and is completing her formal training in Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) this year. Apart from ASI, she is also trained in the implementation of play therapy strategies, which she uses in helping children overcome emotional difficulties.

When not purposefully playing at the practice, she enjoys being outdoors, camping, reading, painting and playing the flute. She also enjoys spending quality time with her family and friends.

Our Sensory Integration Group supports children in learning how to understand and respond to the world around them.

Through daily play-based activities, children strengthen how their brains and bodies work together - improving core skills such as balance, coordination, and self-regulation in a safe, fun environment! 💚

Hi, I’m Sheree. I’ve been a paediatric Occupational Therapist for the past 8 years and working with children is truly where my heart is. I’m passionate about creating spaces where kids feel safe, seen, and free to be themselves. I love being active and outdoors, and you’ll usually find me surrounded by nature or horses if I’m lucky!
