A little about your therapist

Meet Julia

Hi, I'm Julia — an Ahpra-registered occupational therapist with a passion for helping children build confidence, develop meaningful skills and participate fully in the activities that matter to them.

My approach to occupational therapy is shaped by both my professional experience and personal journey.

Read more about JuliaRead less

My professional background includes several years supporting children in paediatric clinical settings and experience within Queensland Department of Education environments, complemented by more than a decade of hands-on experience in early childhood education. Through these roles, I've worked alongside children with a range of diverse developmental and participation needs.

Growing up with an older brother with a disability has had a profound influence on the person and therapist I am today. Being personally involved in his therapeutic journey throughout his life, I understand what it's like to be on the other side of the therapeutic relationship - as a family member who wants nothing more than to see someone they love supported, understood and given every opportunity to thrive.

I recognise that behind every child is a family with their own hopes, challenges and aspirations, and I value the trust that families place in the professionals supporting their children.

I believe occupational therapy should be collaborative, strengths-based and purposeful. Through playful, engaging experiences and practical strategies, my goal is to help children develop skills and confidence that make a genuine difference in their everyday lives.

Above all, I'm passionate about celebrating individuality, recognising potential and creating opportunities for every child to feel capable, included and valued.

Fostering inclusion. Building skills. Creating belonging.

Because everybody matters.

Learning through doing

Small movements. Big everyday skills.

Our approach

What does individual OT look like?

Occupational therapy supports children to take part in the everyday activities that matter to them. At The Kindy OT, this means meeting children where they are, building on their strengths and working alongside families to make daily life a little easier.

01

We listen first

We start by understanding your child’s strengths, interests, routines and the activities your family would like support with.

02

We learn through play

Playful, meaningful activities help us explore skills and build confidence in ways that feel engaging and appropriate for your child.

03

We connect skills to everyday life

Our focus is on practical strategies that can support participation at home, in early learning settings and in the community.

The specific approach and next steps are discussed with each family based on their individual circumstances and service availability.

Supporting everyday independence

Confidence in the little things.

Everyday activities such as managing buttons, getting dressed and participating in family routines can be meaningful opportunities to grow independence. We focus on practical skills that matter to each child and family.
