HOW IT ALL BEGAN
Early Days
Her worlds gradually merged as she raised her own family with holistic solutions. This led to her creating The Whole Child, an occupational therapy clinic that fused holistic occupational therapy, nature based & natural health as well as creative, play based therapies. The Whole Child exists to support families and practitioners who want to explore every option available to improve childhood development and wellbeing.
OVER THE YEARS
A Deep Respect For Children & Families
We aim to foster long-term relationships and support families to apply what they learn in clinic when they are at home. Progress can take time but rest assured we have a mindset of leaving no stone unturned in searching for the solutions that are just right for each child.
TREATING THE WHOLE CHILD
Our Name Explained
‘Whole’ considers a person fully, their whole selves (body/soul/spirit) in the context of their family, home/school/work, community, culture.
Child – We’re all kids at heart… just in older bodies… but our primary focus is providing services for people aged 0 to 18 years.
