Hi, I'm Sarita Sloane,
OT and Yoga Therapist
Sarita Sloane is an Occupational Therapist working in private practice in Noosa, Queensland. Growing up as a deeply sensitive being in a sensory world, she has found the wisdom and gifts of yoga, dance and somatic practices a sure way to stay sane, ground her awareness and live life with more effectiveness, balance and joy. Trained as a yoga therapist and teacher since 2000 she has facilitated many groups and individuals to connect with and honour their body and interoceptive awareness. She now brings these tools into her practice as an OT working with kids and adults with ASD, ADHD, anxiety and neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease and brain injury. Sarita has trained in "The Interoception Curriculum" with Kelly Mahler (OTR), as well as many related programs.
“Sarita’s yoga for Interoceptive awareness course provided me not just with new skills and a new outlook on yoga as therapy for clients, but also helped me become passionate about being an OT again experiencing burnout. It provided not just education, but a practical component which gave insight into how to put theory into practice with clients. I already am incorporating what I learnt from this course into therapy and have recommended this course to other OTs! Eagerly awaiting future courses from Sarita, thank you!”
