Occupational Therapy (OT) helps individuals of all ages live more independently by addressing the physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges that impact daily life. Whether it’s managing health conditions, improving mobility, or making home tasks easier, OT is about finding practical solutions that support people in doing the things that matter most to them.
With experience in the field of Occupational Therapy since 2015, in both physical health and mental well-being, Melanie offers tailored OT services to adults and older adults. Whether you’re managing chronic pain from arthritis, recovering from surgery, or dealing with mobility challenges, Melanie provides practical solutions to help you regain independence and improve your quality of life. She works closely with clients to develop personalised strategies, recommend assistive equipment, and suggest home adaptations, ensuring you can live comfortably and safely in your own space.
Melanie also helps children and families create safer home environments and improve daily living through home adaptations and game-changing equipment. By recommending tools and strategies that reduce stress and increase comfort, she ensures both children and their caregivers have the support they need for a smoother daily life.
