Testimonials

“My son bounced into occupational therapy.  Emtia is a very kind, patient and observant occupational therapist.”

Mrs Hackel, Kensington

“I worked with Emtia in my school setting and found her to be professional and open. She was easy to speak to and would gladly offer advice if I needed it. She trained a couple of my TA’s and LSA’s in specific programs for children with statements and they too found Emtia thorough and approachable.”

Feedback from the sensory parenting course:

“Learning about my own sensory needs was life changing. Being able to listen and share with like-minded people felt very therapeutic and nurturing. I loved being able to learn and share strategie and to try the sensory tools for ourselves. "

It is so supportive and affirming. Understanding our needs as parents and as a family will help so much.”
