Grace is a warm and playful OT who builds rapport with children quickly and naturally. She graduated with a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours) and has gained experience across paediatric private practice and community settings, including work within a Queensland Health Community Transition Care Program. Prior to pursuing occupational therapy, Grace did babysitting and spent five years working in hospitality, experiences that sharpened her ability to connect with people across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and communication styles, a skill she brings directly into her therapeutic relationships with children and families.
Grace has experience working with:
- Autistic children
- ADHDers
- Global developmental delay
- Anxiety (including performance anxiety)
- Foetal Alcohol syndrome
- Social skills
- Sensory processing
- Emotional regulation
- Supporting skills with daily activities
Grace is empathic and trauma informed in all her interactions. She is goal oriented to make sure that the therapy has direction, while being fun and the right balance of silly so kids have fun while they are learning. She is family-centred and client-centred so families can be met where they are at, and their needs are kept central to all OT sessions. Being strengths based, she celebrates what kids can do and supports them to discover how they can meet their goals.
Grace has wanted to work with children from a young age. This led her to babysitting as a teenager where she loved being silly with the children while they played or did the necessary tasks. She has spent 5 years in hospitality where she loves interacting with people of all age groups and backgrounds.
Outside of work, Grace loves swimming at the beach, exploring the outdoors and finding new places to enjoy. She is a food lover – both of baking/ cooking, going out and trying new foods. Listening to music and playing with her copper- coloured cocker spaniel Darcy are among her favourite things to do.
