About Us
Hi, I'm Tara. I am an Occupational Therapist with 10 years’ experience specialising in persistent pain, fatigue management and mental health. I am passionate about helping people improve their quality of life, do the things that are important to them and decrease suffering associated with disease, pain and fatigue.You may be thinking what exactly is an Occupational Therapist and how can they help me with my pain, fatigue and/or mental health?Well let’s start with what I mean when I say ‘occupation’ (I think what we should really be saying is 'meaningful activity'). Occupation is anything that you do that occupies your time, such as showering, looking after children, cooking, seeing friends, work or sleeping (the list is endless). An OT is an allied health professional who promotes health and well-being by supporting you to continue to participate in these meaningful occupations.We know that persistent pain, fatigue and challenges with mental health can affect every aspect of a person’s life. We also know that they are often invisible diseases and not well understood. This can make finding the right care exhausting and confusing. At Finding Joy OT, we look holistically at the person we are working with, the occupations that are important to them and the environment in which they live and work to support them in achieving their life goals despite the pain and/or fatigue. Essentially, we know that if you can do the things that are important to you, you will be happier and healthier.
