Rachel is a perinatal occupational therapist, mental health clinician, and Mama to a spirited toddler. She holds a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy with Honours from the Australian Catholic University and is endorsed as a mental health clinician by Occupational Therapy Australia.

Her vision is to provide education and support to mothers as they navigate their new ‘occupation’ of motherhood: facilitating occupational balance, re-establishing identity, and nurturing the mother-baby dyad. With a strong foundation in occupational therapy and ongoing training in perinatal care, she is devoted to empowering mothers to overcome the occupational challenges that arise during this critical time. She takes a holistic approach, addressing the physical, cognitive, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of each individual's experience.

She uses an integrated approach of psychological, somatic, and sensory practices, which are applied through a trauma-informed lens. Her therapy is rooted in attachment, guided by biologically normal infant and maternal development, and honours maternal wisdom.

Rachel's expertise lies in working with mothers presenting with anxiety and mood challenges, sensory overwhelm and processing challenges, autism spectrum disorder, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder - an emerging area of skills development is complex trauma and birth trauma.

She aims to create a warm, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment, fostering a sense of trust and safety.
