My Journey in Occupational Therapy
I have dedicated my career to supporting occupational therapists and allied health professionals to flourish, personally and professionally. With extensive experience across clinical practice (paediatric, paediatric mental health), group supervision, and mentoring, Rachel knows the value of real connection and reflective support.

With over two decades in occupational therapy and more than 10 years supporting others through supervision, I bring both clinical depth and a grounded, relational approach to supervision.
I’ve walked this path myself and I understand the real-life complexities of OT practice. My role is to offer clarity, support and perspective so you can grow with confidence and connection at every stage of your career.

“We are a private practice of 7 Paeds OTs. We have worked with Rachel for well over 12 months and she is a valued member of our team! Her role for us is one of clinical support for those really tricky cases and for professional development.
My team has benefited enormously from her guidance, and from understanding the lifelong learning that occurs for all of us. And that sometimes, help is about the right support, not the answers. The process of presenting a case to Rachel for consideration has been skill building in itself for younger staff. As an OT with over 25 years’ experience, I have worked with a lot of OTs and would highly recommend Rachel’s services.”

How to Approach Pragmatic Planning as an Allied Health Business Owner
I was recently interviewed by Cathy Love in her podcast for Allied Health Business Owners. Tune in to hear all about my journey from an OT to a business owner and some stories about clinical supervision at https://www.nacre.com.au/podcast-approach-pragmatic-planning-allied-health-business-owner/
Beyond the OT Room
Outside of Nurturing Connections, you’ll find me [spending time with family, walking in nature (often with my dog, Rosie) or finding creative ways to unwind and recharge]. This balance helps me show up fully present and supportive for my supervisees. I have a personal interest in creating a practice that is sustainable and allows you to have a balanced work/life balance now, and into the future.
