Welcome to Enabling Kids! As an experienced paediatric occupational therapist, I'm dedicated to helping your tamariki build the skills and confidence they need to thrive.

I partner closely with you and your whānau to create a personalised therapy plan that honours your child's unique strengths and meets their specific needs. My approach is grounded in proven, evidence-based methods—including sensory integration, neuro-developmental techniques, and play-based learning—to ensure our sessions are not only effective but also fun and engaging."

To help your child build foundational motor skills, I am trained in Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI).

This hands-on approach uses specific, active movements to help the brain create new pathways for development. By guiding your child through these movements, we are helping their brain and body work together to build the strength and control needed to reach milestones like sitting, crawling, and walking.

The Tomatis® Method is a sound-based listening program designed to enhance the connection between the ear and the brain. Using specially modified music and voice, this gentle approach can support your child's development in key areas like listening skills, communication, attention, and emotional regulation. It’s a unique way to help re-train the brain for better learning and processing.
