WORK WITH ME

If you want to start thriving despite disability, but feel a bit stuck...

If you've got something you’d love to do again, but there are barriers in the way...

If you're ready to live your life well and renew your radiance

Then you’ve come to the right place

As a registered Occupational Therapist, I work with NDIS, DVA, Medicare and private funding to help you access Occupational Therapy for a better life. A fully qualified and registered Occupational Therapist, I take the best of neuroscience, sensory integration, rehabilitation and adaptations, and combine this with somatic movement and yoga therapy to empower you to thrive. I love helping people to modify their homes and access the right equipment and assistive technology, that can make a really big difference in everyday life activities. I love helping people overcome barriers and finding new pathways to groove. One of my favourite things is groups, facilitating change and growth with the power of group support.

I offer mobile, teleheath and clinic based appointments.

I can work with you in your home on the Sunshine Coast;
We can work here in my private studio in Tewantin,
I can work with you anywhere online via telehealth/ zoom sessions

Occupational Therapy

I take a wholistic, strengths based recovery approach to supporting you to achieve your occupational goals. Occupational Therapy draws on a vast knowledge of how to optimise the capacity of the body, brain and sensory-nervous system in order to help people do the occupations they need and want to do. We are also experts in helping you gain independence by adapting difficult tasks and removing barriers to occupation, by providing specialized equipment or home modifications or other supports.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga therapy is the process of empowering individuals to progress toward improved health and wellbeing through the application of the teachings and practices of yoga. Yoga is a scientific system of self-investigation, self-transformation, and self-realisation that originated in India.

Yoga has many benefits and yoga is accessible for everybody. Yoga Therapy with me is adapted to the individual, drawing upon my skills and expertise as an Occupational Therapist and specialised yoga therapy certification. I specialise in targeting yoga tools through my understanding of current research into neuroplasticity, mindfulness, interoception and sensory somatic therapies.

You can learn a personalised yoga therapy program for you to practice at home. Alternatively, I offer ongoing one on one yoga therapy sessions, to support you to practice safely and keep making progress towards your goals.

What my clients say...

Natalia

“Sarita was recommended to me, what a great decision to choose her as our OT. Fast and great communication. She was wonderful to deal with, not only myself but with our (son). She had a natural empathy but was very professional. She really takes the time to get to know her clients. Her reports were very well articulated, she has a world of knowledge in her expertise and is very familiar with the NDIS process. Very grateful for her support at this time. Highly recommended!”
