Amanda (she/her) is an experienced Occupational Therapist who has lived and worked in the Albury area for 12 years since completing her Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at Charles Sturt University. Over this time, she has worked extensively with children and their families under NDIS funding, serving in roles as an OT, Key Worker, and Team Leader.

Amanda is passionate about ensuring strategies are effortlessly embedded into her clients' daily routines and lives. She leads with inclusion, playfulness, and kindness to support participation and engagement at home, daycare, school, work, and in the community.

Amanda uses a coaching approach that is always client-centered, strength-based, and focused on functional performance—how we do the things that are important to us. She believes clients do their best when they are active decision-makers, which builds confidence to continue learning new skills and applying them to daily life.

Outside of her work, Amanda loves spending time with her family, friends, and her Labrador, Lola. She enjoys painting abstract landscapes, gardening, and water skiing. Her passion for her work comes from seeing the light bulbs go off and the sparks of joy when clients learn new skills. Amanda truly believes we all hold the answers to how we can live enjoyable and full lives—sometimes all we need is a little help to bring them to the surface.
