Understanding a person’s physical and mental health, their environment, interest and values helps my approach to Occupational Therapy and offering a holistic approach to their care. 

It's a privilege to work and support clients closely and see positive change and growth throughout their journey. 

 

My personal experience with  invisible illness has taught me to dig deep and rebuild my identity, my strength in my belief in the power of meaningful activities, things that bring me joy. I have navigated the healthcare system and it has highlighted where the gaps are, this has highlighted to me the importance of accessible, person-centred care. 

 

Completing my Bachelor in Occupational Therapy at Manipal College of Health Professions, I can appreciate how culture, accessibility and resources can help path one's journey. Having spent half my life in India and before moving to  Australia. I have a strong interest in sensory modulation and have completed additional training in this area and Motivational Interviewing in the ACT. I also have experience in Mental Health within the public sector. 

 

Outside of work, I try to manage my spoons, finding joy in dancing table tennis, grounding myself in nature and when needed - spending time tucked up in bed with a good movie.
