We offer Occupational Therapy services for children from neonatal to 12 years of age. We strongly believe in the benefits of early intervention and collaborating with parents, teachers and other significant role players in the child’s life. Our assessments aim to evaluate all areas of play, school performance and daily activities. Our therapy encompasses a holistic approach and is tailored to the specific needs of the child.
In 2024, she began her Sensory Integration training and has since been working in private practice. She has a special interest in supporting children with learning difficulties, intellectual impairments, behavioural challenges, sensory processing difficulties, and visual perceptual challenges. Batya believes that therapy works best when it is fun, meaningful, and tailored to each child. She takes a warm, child-centred, and holistic approach, working closely with parents, teachers, and other healthcare professionals to support each child’s growth and confidence.
Outside the therapy room, Batya enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, running and exploring her love for cooking.
Batya has been seeing my daughter for about 3 months now. She is a kind, patient and gentle OT, and my daughter thoroughly enjoys her weekly sessions with Batya. Since starting therapy, we have seen a great improvement in various areas of her development and have had similar feedback from her teacher at school.
We couldn't be more grateful for the impact Batya has had on our son. From the very first session, her warmth and gentle approach put him completely at ease. His school has shared wonderful feedback about how much better he is at navigating challenges day to day. Batya is clearly not only skilled but deeply caring. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family looking for an OT who truly connects with their child. Batya is an incredibly talented and dedicated Occupational Therapist. From our very first session, Batya has shown an extraordinary level of kindness and patience with my son. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children on their level, creating a warm, safe and nurturing environment where my son feels completely supported. Sessions are no longer just an appointment in our calendar; it is a highlight of his week that he truly looks forward to.
After numerous appointments elsewhere, and many attempts to find the right fit, we found Faye. Thank you for every session where you included our tween in the conversation, encouraged movement, and created a space of acceptance and understanding. It has been a wonderful journey. We are so grateful for the growth we’ve seen, even though that growth means fewer sessions and less need for your support. While that’s exactly the goal, it does make us a little sad not to see you every week anymore. Thank you for the difference you’ve made in our lives
Faye has been the best fit for our son. She is kind, compassionate and yet still firm. Our son absolutely loves coming to OT. She's his safe space. We've appreciated her input so much
I really just want to let you know how amazing Kate is! We started with Kate and then thought maybe it would be easier to do OT at school during school time. You actually cannot even compare the investment made in the child to what Kate does for my son. She is so incredible in every single way! We absolutely love her.
Kate is wonderful all round. She has a deep knowledge of sensory processes but really cares about her clients deeply. She has formed a wonderful bond with my son and goes out of her way to help him navigate a world full of overwhelm! She is fantastic with all ages, including Teens!
Jacinta has been an incredible Occupational Therapist for my son, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind, compassionate, highly professional and takes the time to truly understand each child as an individual. Her approach is thoughtful and personalised, ensuring that both the child and parents feel supported throughout the process. Both of my boys attend OT with Jacinta and she has formed a safe space for their sessions, allowing them to try new things and push themselves in previously uncomfortable tasks. All of her sessions/ activities centre around their interests so she tailors her approach to each child. Jacinta is also thorough and provides detailed feedback on each session, which I appreciate a lot as I am unable to attend myself.
What sets Jacinta apart is the level of detail she provides after every session. Her feedback, insights and recommendations are always thorough, practical and incredibly valuable. She doesn’t simply work with the child during the session and leave it there; she remains available, checks in regularly and offers ongoing guidance and support whenever needed.
Angie is absolutely wonderful! Her patience, expertise, and encouragement make each session enjoyable for my child. She’s always willing to help with any concerns that I’ve had and has offered great advice. We are truly grateful for the positive impact OT has had on our child’s life, and we couldn't ask for a better therapist than Angie. Thank you for everything!
I was astounded at how accurate Angie's assessment was of my 5-year-old girl. We are already seeing improvements in her behaviour at home, and she is excited about her OT appointments every week.
My child is LOVING Angie - I literally think it’s her favorite outing of the week.
I cannot begin to say 'Thank you' enough. Megan has been excellent with our then 5 year old Kitana. She eased Kitana as well as us as Parents into therapy beautifully. Not only did she help Kitana, she also taught us how to help our daughter. Kitana struggled with basic things, like the grip of a pencil, which as a parent, no matter how easy you think it is to teach them, it's not. Megan had her writing her name beautifully in no time. She is warm, loving, caring, compassionate and exceeds competence. We were so happy with her and she still celebrates all of Kitana's achievements with us. We are very grateful for her.
