Hey there! I’m Simone, your friendly neighborhood pediatric Occupational Therapist!

In 2019 I waved goodbye to the wilds of South Africa and embarked on a whirlwind adventure that took me to the vibrant streets of Thailand. In 2021 I decided to trade coconut curry for Vegemite toast and set up camp Down Under on the sunny shores of the Sunshine Coast in Australia. And let me tell you, I’ve found my slice of paradise!

When I’m not busy helping kiddos reach their full potential, you can find me soaking up the sunshine, whipping up culinary delights in the kitchen, and having a blast with my mates. Oh, and did I mention I’m a pro at PLAYING? Yep, that’s right! I take my playtime very seriously.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy back in 2016, and I’ve also got a Postgraduate Degree in Special Education Needs Coordination under my belt. Currently, I’m diving deep into the world of Sensory Integration, a topic that really fascinates me. I’m also super interested in school readiness, social skills, tackling challenging behaviors, promoting general independence, and working with complex diagnoses. Always ready for an adventure and a challenge,
I’m here to make a difference with a smile!

Hello! My name is Maddy, I’m an Occupational Therapist with a passion for helping children and adolescents. 

I graduated with Honours from the University of the Sunshine Coast and have lived locally here on the coast for many years. I have done a lot of travel and love visiting new places and getting outdoors with our border collie.

I enjoy working with kiddos as they are the next generation and I believe they can teach me just as much as I can teach them. I have a particular interest in building independence and autonomy through play and self expression, promoting creativity and building self esteem and fine and gross motor intervention through fun and engaging interventions. 

I love to have fun and build a supportive environment with a positive attitude as I believe that is half the battle. I have found a real purpose through my chosen field of study and courier and I am committed to providing a caring, empowering, and fun experience that sets children and adolescents up for long term success.
