OUR THERAPIST

Monique graduated with a Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Canberra in 2016. She is a registered Occupational Therapist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA – OCC0002040702) and is a member of Occupational Therapy Australia.

Monique is passionate about giving children the best possible start to life and supporting them to enjoy the climb toward their full potential. She believes in the power of Occupational Therapy to help children of all abilities build the skills they need to participate confidently at home, at school, and in their community.

Her practice is grounded in family-centred, strengths-based support. Monique works closely with children and their caregivers to understand what is meaningful to them, create achievable goals, and provide the “just right” challenges that help children grow, learn, and thrive in their everyday environments.
