Mentoring and supervision services for passionate occupational therapists working with children and families.
Hi! I am Carolina,
I am an Occupational Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with children and their families. Originally from Argentina, I relocated to Australia in 2020. Throughout my career, I have worked across various settings, including community, home, school, hospital and clinic environments. These experiences have shaped who I am as a therapist and support my understanding of our role throughout different levels of care. I have also sought opportunities to learn from people I admire, and I believe I carry with me a little piece of each great clinician I have been fortunate to be mentored by.
I have specialised postgraduate training in childhood therapeutics, a diploma in evaluation and analysis of public policy, and I’m currently working on my Master’s thesis in Social Science and Humanities, focusing on public policy. In 2022, I embarked on my PhD at The University of Queensland, exploring Ayres Sensory Integration within the context of Occupational Centred Practice. I strongly believe in lifelong learning and am committed to continuous professional and personal growth.
Since starting my PhD, I have transitioned from a clinical role to mentoring and supervision, where I’ve found great fulfilment in empowering occupational therapists to thrive in their professional roles, build confidence, and achieve ongoing growth.
