We are so excited to introduce Esta and Jennifer, our wonderful Allied Health Therapy Assistants, who are now welcoming new families.
Working under the clinical supervision of our Developmental Educator and Psychologists, they provide practical, strengths-based support that helps children build confidence, independence and everyday skills across home, school, community and clinic settings.
💜 Meet Esta
With a Diploma of Community Services and a Certificate in Education Support, Esta has extensive experience supporting children with diverse learning, behavioural and social-emotional needs. She works alongside families to implement therapy strategies in everyday environments, helping children develop the skills they need to thrive.
🌿 Meet Jennifer
Many of our families already know Jennifer as one of our Holistic Counsellors. We are excited that she is now expanding her role to also provide Allied Health Therapy Assistant services.
With more than 10 years' experience in early childhood development and education, Jennifer brings a calm, nurturing approach to supporting children. Drawing on counselling-informed principles and nature-based experiences, she helps children feel safe, connected and confident while implementing therapy strategies that build emotional regulation, independence and everyday life skills.

✨ What is an Allied Health Therapy Assistant?
Therapy Assistants work under the direction and supervision of our clinicians to implement individualised therapy plans in everyday environments. This allows children to practise and generalise skills more consistently across home, school and the community while families receive a cost-effective extension of their therapy supports.
