Our Team
Isabel (MOT, BHumSc) is a qualified Occupational Therapist (OT) who is passionate about empowering others and helping them achieve independence. She has built up a wealth of knowledge through working in Sydney and London across a variety of settings including schools, clinics, and the community.
Inspired by her commitment to helping others, Isabel founded Live & Learn Therapy, a nurturing environment where individuals can achieve their full potential by learning, growing, and thriving through every stage of life.
Isabel started her journey as a disability support worker over 10 years ago, providing compassionate care, assistance, and advocacy to children and adults with disabilities. She has since developed her skills in roles as a behaviour therapist, therapy assistant, and now as an OT, empowering individuals to overcome barriers and maximise their potential by facilitating independence in meaningful daily activities.
Outside of work, Isabel loves spending quality time with her family and friends, whether it involves enjoying the sunshine at the beach or embarking on new adventures and travelling the world to find the world’s best gelato!
Mia is a qualified Occupational Therapist with experience supporting children and families across community and paediatric settings in both the UK and Australia. She has worked with children and young people aged 3-17 years with a range of neurodevelopmental conditions, including Autism, ADHD, Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), and learning difficulties. She enjoys helping children build confidence, participation, and independence in their everyday lives.
Mia has a particular interest in supporting emotional regulation, sensory processing, social skills, play skills, executive functioning, handwriting, toileting, and independence with everyday life skills. She is passionate about helping children develop the skills they need to participate successfully at home, school, and in the community.
Mia has experience completing OT assessments to identify motor coordination and functional difficulties consistent with DCD and providing recommendations to support referral pathways for formal diagnosis where appropriate.
Having personal experience of a neurodevelopmental condition and receiving Occupational Therapy support as a child, Mia understands firsthand the positive impact that the right support can have on a young person's confidence, participation, and wellbeing. She combines this lived experience with professional knowledge to provide compassionate, neuroaffirming, and family-centred care.
Mia values working collaboratively with families and believes in creating a warm, supportive environment where children feel safe, understood, and empowered to reach their goals.
Mia completed her Occupational Therapy degree at Cardiff University in the UK and is registered with both the HCPC and AHPRA.
Outside of work, Mia enjoys travelling, exploring new cities, and spending time outdoors.
