Improving quality of life through therapeutic intervention.
"You treat a disease: you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you win no matter what the outcome"

About Me
I am Rochelle, an occupational therapist with a special interest in physical rehabilitation. My practice is founded upon genuine human connection and the desire to see patient’s succeed and experience quality of life.
I decided to start this practice when I discovered the need for home based rehabilitation. This may be a result of patients physically not being able to get to a practice, not having someone to take them to therapy or just wanting to feel comfortable in their own home. Nothing facilitates progress better than your own environment. We cater our therapy to suit the patient’s specific needs and treat holistically to make the transition from hospital to home as comfortable as possible.
I have experience that encompasses in-hospital acute and sub-acute rehabilitation, outpatient rehabilitation, case management, and forensic psychiatry.
