14.01.2022 Alicia is one of our outstanding occupational therapists. She is enthusiastic, knowledgable, and dedicated. Alicia has been on maternity leave this year but we are excited to announce that she will be returning from maternity leave in February 2021. Find out more about Alicia below - Describe your job in three words. exciting, rewarding and fun. What do you enjoy about the work you do? Seeing children gain new skills and proving people wrong. Its the best when you see a ...little person so proud of themselves when they have accomplished something. Makes it all worth while. What is your biggest professional or personal accomplishment? Definitely having my son. It has been an absolutely amazing experience becoming a Mum and learning new things every day from him. He has taught me so much. Who inspires you? My son. To be a bigger and better person everyday. To wake up and make today better than yesterday and to see what adventures can be had. What’s your secret talent that no one knows about? I am a fire twirler. I like to spin fire poi. Where’s your favourite place in the world? Anywhere with my boys. But if I had to choose a location - it would have to be anywhere in Scotland. The landscape, the Castles and the sweet treats! Name something on your bucket list. Bungee jumping in Queenstown, New Zealand. Tell us a random fun fact about you. I was an elite athlete. Competed for Australia in Surf Life Saving and still love a good surf. What's the best thing about working at Beyond Words Therapy Centre? The clients and the team. It is wonderful to come into work to do what I love doing, with beautiful clients and a team that is so supportive and fun. It is a warm and enjoyable place to be. See more

13.01.2022 Jamine is one of our amazing occupational therapists. She is energetic, professional, and passionate about working with children and families. Find out more about Jamine below - Describe your job in three words. Creative, supportive, empowering. What do you enjoy about the work you do? I think the most humbling and rewarding part of being an OT who works with kids and their families is supporting them as they work towards creating their "best life". I love that no two "bes...t lives" look the same, and that no two children will need the same kinds of supports to achieve that. Having a child diagnosed with any level of disability or delay often comes with parents being told a bunch of "no's" about what their child's life will look like. I believe OT can be a space where parents and kids are supported to dream up a big dream, one that is inclusive of their specific physical and cognitive composition, the picture of their "best life". So whether it's working around supportive equipment, motor development, social skills, self care, family meal times, or even school participation, I love being able to come alongside parents and kids to dream up those big picture goals and support them as they take the small steps every day to work towards that. What is your biggest professional or personal accomplishment? Something I've been very proud of over the last few years personally was adopting and training my rescue dog, Lewie. After a couple of years of work together he is now a happy and excited boy who is well on his way to being a therapy dog! Where’s your favourite place in the world? I've managed to cross some pretty remarkable places off my travel bucket list and yet, my favourite place in the world is still Moffat Beach in Caloundra. Name something on your bucket list. I want to learn how to sail. Tell us a random fun fact about you. I love to ride horses. What's the best thing about working at Beyond Words Therapy Centre? The people! ...and the views on the drive into work! See more

And getting to play all day! What is your biggest professional or personal accomplishment? As a new graduate, I worked in a rural generalist role across hospital, aged care and community settings - I was thrown in the deep end working across all areas of practice - from newborns with cleft palate, preschoolers going through a disability diagnosis, adults in the emergency room post stroke or needing laryngectomy care, to end of life care... and everything in between. This was a huge challenge and steep learning curve, and through this I gained invaluable skills working flexibly, not shying away from the tough stuff, utilising the other allied health on my team, always learning and seeking support when I needed it. What’s your secret talent that no one knows about? Everyone is always impressed that I can write and draw upside down - but I think this is a common speechie trait! Where’s your favourite place in the world? I live on acreage and sitting on my back verandah with a nice sunset, listening to the birds sing is pretty amazing! Name something on your bucket list. Western Australia. Tell us a random fun fact about you. I can recite the entire (original) Lion King movie. What's the best thing about working at Beyond Words Therapy Centre?
