23.01.2022 It has been a looooong while since I got to prescribe one of these. You know you’re an OT when you get a leeeeetle bit excited by a tilt in space shower commode chair. ... I got to add a left arm support too. ... and going for some other additions to make it even MORE excitement. The excitement is real. No lie. AT and me... like wine and dark chocolate... or bacon and maple syrup. Quirky good. ... She’s baaaaa-aaaack #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #melbourne #shower #toilet #adl #livingmybestlife #personalcare #takeitforgranted

23.01.2022 What is an OT? An occupational therapist helps you to be a *human doing* so that you can be a human [well] being . A PT helps you move. ... An SP helps you talk. An NP helps you think. And an OT helps you ... DO! #1creativeot #melbourne #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #doing #being #living #ot #livingmybestlife #do

21.01.2022 ... but first. Coffee. My first lot of holidays back into work and the juggle is real. Coffee. My survival. My saviour. Any other handy survival tips I need to know about?... #mumlife #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #melbourne #1creativeot #epworth #vnnetwork #rehabilitation #community #everydayliving #neurorehabilitation #neurorehab #braininjuryawareness #brainhealth #basscoast

21.01.2022 If you’re out and about... please be smart. Please wear a mask. Wash your hands. Be kind. Don’t spread information that lacks validity. There’s a BIG difference between information and misinformation. Think context. Think. Critique its validity. Social media followers does not give someone authority to have their facts go unchecked. Opinions are always welcomed. Misinformation is not. ... Above all... stay safe. It’s not too much to ask. Think. #maskup #bekind #besmart

21.01.2022 Secret cat stash under the fridge... caught. #burmesecat #mischiefmanaged

18.01.2022 This shocks me... It’s hard enough trying to promote inclusivity and equality. People may look different but are no different to anyone else... you might have brown hair (or grey hair), you might have facial scars, a drooping face, you might have blotched skin or burnt skin, you might have dark skin or light skin, you might have one arm or a twisted arm, you might have blue eyes, you might look like ...YOU! ... Yet we are all the same. Beautiful souls to be treated with respect and kindness. At All Times. No matter the cover. The inside story is what counts. Another reason to justify why I have banned TikTok.

18.01.2022 The girls... are having a slumber party. Usually they fight like little devils . But tonight... they are besties ... I’m too scared to check on them because I don’t want the moment to end. They are being best friends! I’m not sure if I have died and gone to heaven... or if I accidentally grew a marijuana plantation and consumed it all in my salad tonight ... but this is what dreams are made of. It’s a kind of magic. ... Wow. Thanks to @chodam_soo for creating illustrations that are truly beautiful. And this one captured my joy tonight, perfectly. Thank you. And goodnight. #gifts #mumlife #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #melbourne #livinglife #feelinggood #miraclesdohappen #somethingspecial

16.01.2022 Milk + Chocolate = Good friends. BIG Thank you to my Inverloch friends for the little care package whilst I’m doing my first Inverloch overnight work session. I’m following the rules with my work permit and avoiding unnecessary activities whilst I’m regional. Hope Brett survives daddy daughter date night. ... Me... I have a date with #1creativeot #vnnetwork #neurorehabilitation #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #melbourne #basscoast #sotiredbuthappy

15.01.2022 Oooooh yeah... I’m catching up on all manner things. AMPS... you’re next ... after some serious NDIS brain boggling. Feeling my OT brain getting a righteous renovation, reinvigoration and opportunity to reflect on practice past, present and future. ... Like an organic OT brain audit. So cool #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #strokeguidelines #reflectiononpractice #alwayslearning #freshperspective #melbourne

12.01.2022 Sun... trampolines... and cats. But of course! #mumlife #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #covid19 #sunnyday #burmesecat #playtime

12.01.2022 You know you’re back in *OT land* when... ... Your camera roll is full of equipment photos ... like a mid back chair with arms that don’t exceed 660mm when the seat height is set at 470mm . #OTlife #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #OTland #assistivetechnology #independentliving #mumlife #multitasking #melbourne #covid #1creativeot

12.01.2022 Helpful resources...

11.01.2022 Tidying up the house, getting ready to sell ... it’s an adventure of discovery and memories. Exhaustion and excitement!! I even took the time to have a bath after a day of cleaning up outside and preparing our hard rubbish pile. Bath, bubbles, candles and Beethoven piano essentials... perfection. Forgotten how awesome that space was as I never took time out to use it. Then I realised the kids did this... not quite the tidy room I anticipated. Warmed my heart AND gave me anx...iety at the same time. #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #mumlife #livinglife #tentcamping #indoorcamping

10.01.2022 When it’s time to let it go... this is a great way to reflect on career change. Creative Bakes feels like it was a lifetime ago. 1CreativeOT came from my sweet background when I enjoyed created edible art. We even had a few successes along the way. ... Now I’m back to my OT beginnings with a new perspective... hopefully a better one with fresh eyes and a creative flair. Someone told me I’d never go back to OT. Maybe it’s a good thing I didn’t believe them... #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #edibleart #memories #creativesoul #creatives

09.01.2022 Hand made with much love for Jedde. #fimofun #creativity #kidsplay #imagination #mumlife #occupationaltherapy

09.01.2022 Whilst we can’t have a dog (yet) we learnt many lessons whilst volunteering today @petshaven - thank you to everyone that was kind to Jennah when she got very emotional about the plight of pets without families ... there are so many beautiful fur souls awaiting adoption. So until we are ready for a dog (that will need to love cats ) we can help them enjoy some walks, sunshine and hugs. #volunteer #volunteering #mumlife #fortunate #furbaby #dogslife #occupationaltherapy #pettherapy

08.01.2022 #pettherapy ... Borrowed the neighbour’s dog [ahhhhgain]. Not sure our cats are impressed . #theywantadog so we have signed up to volunteer at the local pet shelter ... #lifelessons #1creativeot #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #melbourne #melbournetherapist #neurorehabilitation #neurorehab #occupationaltherapyrocks #pettherapydog #dogslife #covidlife #mumlife #childhealth

07.01.2022 OT = Occupational Therapy

07.01.2022 Any friend of mine would’ve known the answer to this. BREAD?! Not only did she miss a nice sum of $$$$$$$$... poor lady has NEVER experienced the gastronomical delights of the @Siketa Meats #evapii !! That’s the shame of it all... Often imitated but impossible to beat the traditional Siketa Meats delicacy... The Tray ... #cevapi #cevap #cevapcici #foodogthegods #food #siketameatslegend @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

06.01.2022 @jenalford55 ... I need to channel your brilliance here. See how yellow my old goniometer is!!!! I was blessed to have your wonderful book...now I just need your wonderful skill. P.S. I still need to get you to autograph my copy. ... #occupationaltherapist #occupationaltherapy #handtherapy #spasticitymanagement #teachanolddognewtricks #goniometry #challengeaccepted

05.01.2022 Mesmerising! Hands are amazing tools that we rely on day in day out to complete an amazing array of occupations. This is a great example of high level dexterity, strength and manipulation. The magic of hand made crafts - cookie cutters! Also a great reminder that Christmas is only 9 weeks away maybe you can support this local business (yes Aussie made) by checking out their Christmas cookie cutter collection and create your own sweet treats. https://www.facebook.com/CutterCraft/

05.01.2022 If nature can... we can use this as inspiration to change for a better outcome? Metamorphosis... nature’s lesson.

03.01.2022 Positive COVID story. We take the time to walk 4km nearly everyday... not the nicest nature walk... but it’s curious and interesting all the same. #familytime #walking #covidlife #melbourne #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #therapy #citylife

02.01.2022 Oh yes.... Melbourne is starting to awake from a COVID19 slumber. Hopefully we can continue along this positive pathway - no lie... the kids (and of course we) cried tears of joy to hear the small humans are back at school. They soooooo need social connection in *the real*! As fabulous as technology has been to get us through these times... even the kids are totally OVER ZOOM meetings. School ZOOM, sport ZOOM, friends ZOOM, music lessons ZOOM... its fabulous BUT noth...ing, and I mean NOTHING beats real human connection when you are doing and participating. So school is back. And I am thrilled to be looking at getting back into *real* exercise training again. I could not handle ANY more screen time than I already did for work and for the kids school etc... so I am happy to give the online a rest and go for *the real*. That means I can’t cheat, I can’t hide around the corner [and cry at my pathetic attempts at being healthy]... it means I am going to get back on track and maybe, just maybe, fit into my work pants again. And finally, househunting is back on the table. Our new adventure awaits. Yes its time to give something new a go and hopefully find our new home amongst some nature and greenery . Much to our parent’s disappointment - it won’t be Geelong or Tasmania. Lets see where the rest of 2020 takes us... who knows. COVID has taught us to value and appreciate EVERYTHING, so we will grab this opportunity with both hands, both kids, three cats (no dog...yet), and a great partner in adventure. fingers and toes crossed for positivity [through the fingertips]. #1creativeot #occupationaltherapists #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapist #mumlife #covidlife #melbourne #adventures #livingmybestlife

02.01.2022 Not only is she an Occupational Therapist... she is an inspiration for keeping active in mind and body [and humour]. Our Uber Elders have more to give than you may give them credit for. Never forget to value all. No matter their age nor anything else... we all matter.
